5 Facts About Dedicating Your Home + How to Do It

Our family has been uprooted often, and we consider ourselves nearly nomadic. We have lived in some lovely homes both in the U.S. and abroad. We’ve also lived in a neighbor’s unfinished basement, in apartments too small for us, and in fixer-uppers tainted by buyer’s remorse. Actually, most of our living quarters have been rented. But that’s OK. ALL earthly dwellings are temporary.

BYU student Kate Hansen training for 2014 Olympic luge

You’ve probably passed her on campus and didn’t recognize her. You may have had a class with a world-class athlete and didn’t know it. After meeting Kate Hansen, you would never guess she flies down a track at speeds of up to 100 mph while lying on a sled, but the BYU freshman likes it that way. She prefers to go unnoticed. “It nice to not have a label here,” Hansen says. “In high school I was always ‘the luger’ and when I came to BYU I didn’t want to tell anyone about it. A lot of kids in my ward still have no idea and that’s the way I want it. I don’t want to be judged in a good way or a bad way because of it. I want people to like me for me.”

Are You a Shepherd or a Wise Man?

For as long as I can remember, my grandma has hand made a Christmas ornament each year for each one of her grandkids. This is a real labor of love since, at last count, she has 46 grandkids. She has always loved making things with her hands. This little collection of ornaments has become a real treasure to me, especially since my grandma had a stroke about 4 ½ years ago and she is no longer able to make them. The ornaments I have from the earlier years are pretty, but during the last 4-5 years before her stroke, she started making each of the pieces of the nativity. These are the ones I really love.
