- I’ll Be Baptized–This song was written when I needed to explain in a simple way to my seven year old daughter what baptism was all about. The first verse talks about a simple testimony of Christ and the desire to serve Him and follow His example are reasons why one would want to be baptized. I added verse two many years later as I realized the song did not as yet address the concept of the Holy Ghost. Over the years, this song has been sung at all our family baptisms when permitted and we have grown to cherish it.

- The Path I Take– I thought about how to teach my children to understand about keeping covenants and what is the purpose thereof. First I give them something to reference that they already understand, then I can compare that thing to a principle of the gospel. For this song, I showcase the idea of being able to always know our way back home by following a designated route or path. It is always a choice whether we want to take that path and head back home where we are comfortable and loved. We can see how this applies to being a covenant keeping people, when we think about wanting to be able to return back to our eternal home with our Father in Heaven. The covenant path is clear and leads us to where we want to be.
