Alma 34:34-35 This is a very interesting statement of truth and a reality check of sorts for me. In the latter end of verse 34, Amulek states that the same spirit which possesses our bodies presently will be the same spirit that possesses our body in the eternal world. Therefore, this speaks volumes to the …

Discourse: Jesus Christ Is the Author of My Covenants
(This is the Easter Message that God would have me to hear.) This Easter Season, as I contemplate what the Father would have me to understand about our Lord, the Savior Jesus Christ, the following phrase was impressed upon my mind:Jesus Christ is the Author of My Covenants. At a later moment, an understanding followed …

Thoughts from Morning Prayer: It started perhaps with this scripture study from President Jeffery R. Holland, where he pointed out just one word “if” and suddenly made the whole interaction between Christ and those that mocked him, very personal. Jesus was still being questioned as to his divinity, as to his ability, by (ultimately) the …
Easter
(Remarks delivered on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024 in the Marshall Branch Sacrament meeting) So as the account is told in scripture, the end was soon and the Hero of this story actually already knew how it was to happen. But even a complete and perfect understanding of what was about to happen, wasn’t enough. …
“Farewell… Until… the Pleasing Bar of the Great Jehovah”
Moroni 10:31-34 (Moroni 10:31-34) Here I am at the end of the record, and also at the end of a 16 year journey for me. I had not seen the significance of the parallels in my life with this study until just now. I have slowed down in the approach to my studies as I …

Special Study: Joy Cometh in the Morning
Psalms 30:5 I’ve also been reflecting upon the latest talk from Amy Wright in October 2023 General Conference (which is not yet published) and a Friend article by President Thomas S. Monson. Because of Jesus Christ, and the covenants of His gospel, there is hope beyond tears.
Come Unto Christ
Moroni 10:26-30 (Moroni 10:26-30) Cuando leo declaraciones fuertes como lo que dice Moroni en el versÃculo 26, me hace recordar que Dios no es negro y blanco en tales cosas. Pero es el hombre natural el que atenta ser incompatible, inflexible, y sin voluntad de cambiar y crecer. Es en el acto de negar el …
Every Good Gift Cometh of Christ
Moroni 10:8-19 (Moroni 10:8-19) I am being reclaimed. I have read through the list of spiritual gifts and at least two stand out to me, no, three: New day and I’m referencing my patriarchal blessing to see how this aligns with suggested spiritual gifts. From my blessing: As I am reading through my patriarchal blessing, …
Morning Thoughts on Business, Babylon, and the Kingdom of God
(15 Sep 2023) My call back to the ministry this morning has to do with this reality: that God is merciful to those who choose to exercise faith in him. The witness, born of life’s experiences thus far, that is mine is that one can wake up from day to day and commend one’s life …

If It Be Wisdom in God that Ye Should Read Them
Moroni 10:1-7 (Moroni 10:1-7) I am a flurry of thoughts and emotions as I start into this final chapter of the Book of Mormon, in what has been a 12-year daily affair for me. But as I read Moroni’s invitation in verse 3 to meditate upon the mercy of the Lord extended towards his people …
