Unexpected Revelation
Then this sweet young sister missionary got up saying if she didn’t stand, she felt she would explode. Without going into too much detail she explained how she had been struggling and gone in to meet with the mission president. Her mission president asked her to read the following scripture:
A Bishop Thinks Celestial
At church today, the bishops got up to bear his testimony and said the prophet asked us to think spiritual. Toward the end of his testimony, he confesses that he received 5 text messages about his error. Then made the correction, the prophet asked us to think celestial.

Self-righteous what? Where are you? [You’re on a mission] Things [that] remind us of what we need to do to be blessed [are not self-righteous.] Some missionaries are prideful, and they call those who try to do their best self-righteous. […] I’ve noticed Nephi in my reading was so humble. He didn’t want to be that way to his brothers. But God commanded him and he followed. They thought he was self-righteous.
General Conference – October 2023 Evening Session
She is my sister; he is my brother.
General Conference – October 2023 Afternoon Session
The greatest lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God Speaks, we listen. I think I typed that up wrong. But I reminded me of what I tell my kids and primary kids (when I taught primary). The most important thing you can learn in your life is to learn to hear and recognize the Holy Ghost. That is so important. I cannot even say how much.
General Conference – October 2023 Morning Session
My wife asked me the other day, what do I want out of General Conference? I asked her, what do you mean? She said, I should ask for some questions I would like answered while listening. I hadn’t thought about that. It wasn’t hard to come up with something to ask for. I want to know what I need to do to be “Worthy of Zion”.
How did I do this week? Sept 17-23
It was my son’s birthday last weekend. We gave him an MP3 player for his birthday. He would rather have had a phone, but we haven’t gone that far yet. When his sister hit that age, we did buy a flip phone, then a Gabb phone. But she had a constant need and was super responsible. My son doesn’t do much that would require it. When we do, it will likely be as dumb as a brick.
End of Earth
Everyone has seen the images of the cosmos taken by the Hubble and James Webb Telescopes.
Some of the images are very interesting and thought provoking. Images of colliding galaxies, stars blowing up, and movement as though all the cosmoses are in motion. You can witness the difference stages of the evolutionary cycle of Gods creations. The cosmos is constantly in motion and constantly evolving.
NYNYS Mission June 7-11, 1996
Well, this is not going to make me look very good in some people’s eyes. But it is what happened. I’m not going to make any excuses. I remember a big focus of my mission being that we felt inspired that if the church was to grow in New York […]
