Mission Newsletters
I love getting missionary newsletters, especially Senior missionary letters. The older missionaries describe the work well, but many times it’s the young missionaries who get the best photo opportunities. This picture below is of a Fijian missionary (far left) on his mission to India. And yes! He really did get to see Mother Theresa! AndContinue reading “Mission Newsletters”
Wisdom’s Ways
Life is a gift that contains a cornucopia of experiences. At times, life can be difficult and lonely. Our individual experiences can separate us from each other and make us believe that no one else can ever understand us. Sometimes the future can look so bleak and scary that even people with great faith areContinue reading “Wisdom’s Ways”
Root of the Problem
The other day I shared my joy at the birth of a long awaited granddaughter. The woman, my neighbor smiled and laughed with me. Then she said, “babies are fine as long as they don’t ruin the planet.” In the distraction of the moment, I didn’t have an appropriate response. But the next morning, IContinue reading “Root of the Problem”
Foundation Stones
Jesus spoke in parables to ensure that those who truly seek Him would find Him. While those who are only interested in being entertained simply hear a story. Parables contain hidden spiritual truth to the sincere seeker of righteousness. Keeping that in mind, please examine this often misunderstood saying found in Matthew 16:15-18. 15 He saithContinue reading “Foundation Stones”
O Jerusalem!
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the nameContinue reading “O Jerusalem!”
Cleansing
The House of the Lord is a place of spiritual reflection. It is a place where those who seek God can find Him in worship. Covenants are made in the Temple and Heaven’s blessings are given. As a place of worship, the Temple is a sacred space and separate from the world. Unfortunately, the priestsContinue reading “Cleansing”
Holy Week
Today is Palm Sunday! The beginning of the week that celebrates the life and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. It was at this time, the ancient Passover week, that so many amazing and awe-inspiring things happened in the history of the world for the benefit of all mankind. The people had heard of the greatContinue reading “Holy Week”
The Whole Earth
Many people in Africa are accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ whole-heartedly. In a recent visit to West Africa, Elder D. Todd Christofferson visited saints in Sierra Leon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Ghana. He even spent an evening with the President and First Lady of Freetown, Sierra Leon. The first lady, Fatima Maada Bio, hadContinue reading “The Whole Earth”
WISDOM
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”
