When our mother Lillie died at the age of 64 we were surprised and alarmed that skin cancer was the culprit that cut her life so short. Not one of her parents had lived long enough to die from a cancer of any sort. They had all died before they reached their golden years. LillieContinue reading “Eternal Reward”

Peacemakers
I have lived among the latter-day saints my entire life. Sometimes, as in Indonesia and China, those saints have been few in number. In every place, I’ve looked to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for friendship, recreation, and information. This type of love and friendship is a gift. I knowContinue reading “Peacemakers”
Rock of Revelation
Lehi, of the Book of Mormon, was a great prophet. Many of his teachings were difficult for his family to understand. Sometimes his teachings sparked arguments among his children. Nephi, one of Lehi’s sons, didn’t understand the teachings so he went and prayed for more understanding. He was rewarded with his own vision that clarifiedContinue reading “Rock of Revelation”
Bad Karma
In 2008 I was invited to play tennis one night with other parents at Bangkok International School. It was a round robin format that had all players trading partners at the end of each set. My third partner was Lek, a Thai national. Lek and I played well together and were winning. It was 5-2Continue reading “Bad Karma”
A Good Life
Life is very funny. We all know that it takes time for an embryo to grow to create a child, and yet we are often surprised by the birth. It’s just such a huge change in our lives! So it also is with death. We all know that our lives will end in death, butContinue reading “A Good Life”
Jasper Nat’l Park
This year we went on an adventure in Jasper National Park. We saw sheep, bear and elk. We didn’t even need to get out of our car to see nature up close. The scenery is spectacular! Where Yellowstone is molded by volcanic activity, Jasper’s landscape is created by glaciers. There are glacial moraines, glacial lakes,Continue reading “Jasper Nat’l Park”
Improving, Growing, Changing!
Many of us like to set goals to improve ourselves, lose weight, gain knowledge, get more pay. It is in our nature to improve ourselves and progress. After all, our Father in Heaven created this earth so we (His children) could come here to walk by faith and learn to discern and choose good overContinue reading “Improving, Growing, Changing!”
Prayer
Isn’t it amazing that when we pray we have the EAR of God? In the Bible Jesus taught us to pray, and He has asked us to pray always. Heavenly Father is always there for us, and our simple act of prayer puts us in the presence of His divine influence. Elder Jeffery R HollandContinue reading “Prayer”
Cosmic Con?
How is it that when men dress as women – like Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire – it is totally funny, but when women play boyish it just falls flat. In Thailand lady-boy shows were popular. We even had a lady-boy “perform” for us at a Nike sponsored party. He was an admin with aContinue reading “Cosmic Con?”
Restoration
In 1995, the Church of Jesus Christ published The Family Proclamation. In this document some very important truths were brought to light. One of these eternal principles is that gender is an eternal characteristic of our spirits. All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son orContinue reading “Restoration”
