The Gift of Literacy October 5, 2013 There is something so amazing and so special and sacred about this ability to read and to write. This gift of literacy, in other words. To be able to read the words of someone who sat somewhere and penned them (or carved them) 100s and even 1,000s of […]
The Way of All the Earth
“Having Gone the Way of All the Earth” Alma 1:1 How final is death. That’s not a question. That’s a statement. As inhabitants of this earth, as partakers of this fall from a celestial to a telestial degree of life, energy, and glory (all of which are synonymous terms), we have committed ourselves to the […]
How Zion Will Be Established
Times are getting very challenging on just about every level and in every area of our lives. It seems like all of us are facing something that no earthly power–our own or others–can save us from. Thank God, our Father, for sending His Son into this fallen world to comfort and counsel us through all […]
Jacob 5: Testimony of God’s Mercy
Jacob 5:48-60 In this section of verses the Lord and His servant decide to graft back the original branches, meanwhile only removing those wild ones that bear the MOST bitter fruit (v. 57). Do you hear what I hear? I hear the mercy and kindness of the Lord, His long-suffering, patience and forgiveness and tolerance. […]
LDS 12 Step Insights – Jacob 5
Jacob 5 — LDS 12 Step Book of Mormon Insights The fifth chapter of Jacob is second only to the Isaiah passages for being a mystery and headache to the casual Book of Mormon student. Olive orchards, olive trees; old ones, new ones, tame, wild, natural; plucking, grafting, planting and transplanting–what in the world does […]
My Inclination to Always Trust God
MY INCLINATION TO ALWAYS TRUST GOD I don’t know where I got this willingness to always trust the idea of God. To always trust in God. To always trust God. But I always did. I can’t remember when I didn’t. Ever. And since you don’t talk to people you don’t trust, I can see why […]
Hearing Him
Testimony recorded Feb. 5, 2007 I have lived to experience the most important aspect of the Atonement for me while I am still in mortality—personal revelation, personal communion with the Lord Jesus Christ, through His light and through the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost’s greatest gift to me is “the words of […]
Why Should I Fear My Savior?
3 Nephi 9:21 “Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world, to save the world from sin.” The Lord declared this same message in John 12:47, when He said, “And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the […]
Controversy or Catastrophe?
ABORTION: Controversy or Catastrophe? To me, abortion on demand, as an “Oops-I-slipped” form of birth-control, defies rational argument and yet demands, of every human soul, a conclusion. The depth of pathos; of ”gut-level” instinctive feelings that I am experiencing when considering the number of human lives discarded since “Roe vs Wade,” like so much inconvenient […]
Entering Into His Rest-Again
Good morning! Welcome to a new day! This morning, during my morning counsel with the Lord, He invited me to review the Patterns of Light, Step Six exercise for week 1, day 2. I found it grounded in Moroni 7:3. Moroni 7:3 “You . . . that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that […]
