Briana Stephen

I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

Me, an Author?

You’ve Benn Served, written by Briana Stephen. What do you think? So many have prompted me to write a book, and I’m considering it – just waiting for the happy ending. I like this title, because it has a two-part meaning: I can focus on the trial with which I’ve been served/sentenced and then the service I’ve been given to help me get through it. Yea or Nay?

I am behind you one hundred percent!! (by the way, I think you should mention how wonderful your sister Tiffany is in your book!) :)

    More than beautiful blog - first time I've seen it (Oct. 22nd). Please write your story. It would lift the spirits of ordinary people like me as well as fantastic, incredible people such as you. Sounds like you have plenty of takers to be the first to buy. Put me on the list - I'll stand in line to get you to sign it. Your name will be in the LA Temple every Tuesday - you can count on it. Hugs and Kisses!
