Not long ago I stumbled across a 2010 address given to a university entitled “Education, A Religious Responsibility” by Russell M. Nelson, MD. In his talk, he points out that when we die we leave all material wealth behind. The only thing we will take with us is the knowledge we’ve acquired. Thus, our continuingContinue reading “WISDOM”

An Informed Mind 2
How does the Holy Ghost speak to me? After baptism, a person is confirmed and told in that blessing to “receive the Holy Ghost”. This – receiving the Holy Ghost is a choice we make each day as we strive to live worthy of His companionship and then choose to listen to His soft impressions.(2) Elder David A.Continue reading “An Informed Mind 2”
An Informed Mind
As a parent and grandparent I want to teach my family what matters most. Understanding that each person is a Child of God who has divine potential is an important concept. Baptism is a necessary step on the path of discipleship. After baptism and confirmation many questions arise, such as, how do I know IContinue reading “An Informed Mind”
Hope Of Youth
Sometimes only young people have the courage to choose what is right. Helmuth Hubener was only 16 years old when he discovered that his government was lying to him and all of their citizens. In spite of great personal danger, he decided to oppose the Nazi party rule. In 1941 he printed out leaflets containingContinue reading “Hope Of Youth”
Light & Dark
Ever since our first parents ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the world has been divided into light and dark, left and right, good and evil. All things have two sides, all roads lead off into at least two directions. Indeed, every instance of life requires choice. As weContinue reading “Light & Dark”

If we really want to know something, we need to search for the best answer, study it out in our minds, and then ask Him in prayer if our conclusions are right. In D&C 9, Jesus explains – 8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study itContinue reading “Ask, Seek, Knock”
Your Hands, His Hands
“When I think of the Savior, I often picture Him with hands outstretched, reaching out to comfort, heal, bless, and love. He loved the humble and the meek and walked among them, ministering to them and offering hope and salvation. That is what He did during His mortal life; it is what He would beContinue reading “Your Hands, His Hands”
Temple
Temples are sacred spaces dedicated to the worship and work of Heavenly Father – which is the salvation of the human family. His work is exalting and so His House reflects His wonderful purposes in soaring Temple architecture that draws the eye, and the heart, heavenward. As people enter the House of the Lord, theyContinue reading “Temple”
Senior Missions
Among the 72000 missionaries serving as disciples of Christ in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, over 5300 are senior missionaries. Serving a mission is the new retirement! And now, as senior single brothers are allowed to serve alone, the number of serving seniors is expected to go up. More people are livingContinue reading “Senior Missions”
Physician of Wholeness
Recently our US Surgeon General warned us. “Today, we are faced with a profound choice: do we continue with the status quo, marked by pain, disconnection, and division? Or do we choose a different path − one of joy, health, and fulfillment, where we turn toward each other instead of away from each other; whereContinue reading “Physician of Wholeness”
