Some more mission memories. Joy. Looks like I was fighting a few personal demons. The funny thing is, I’ve faced these demons over and over again. Even 30 years later at unexpected times, they show their face again and again.
Sound of Freedom – Human Trafficking
I went to see Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and the preview for Sound of Freedom played before the movie. Honestly, I knew it was coming out. I purposefully did not watch the preview because the topic is sickening to me. There I was, stuck in the movie theater watching the preview. I was so moved by the preview, I started to tear up. It was so much more powerful than I ever expected it to be.
NYNYS Mission April 28-30, 1996
Another round of mission stories. As I read these I remember a lot of the tension and conflict I had with my companion.
As I was new to leadership, I was the equivalent of an infant. I think he knew this and tried to take advantage of it.
How did I do this week? June 30, 2023
I was reflecting today on my efforts to be Worth of Zion.
I have had so much going on.
Dandelions
I was mowing the lawn today and noticed a number of dandelions growing in the lawn. I’m not sure why but at that moment my thoughts reflected upon my neighbor David.
NYNYS Mission April 25, 1996
Happy 23 Birthday.
You’re 23 and just begun.
When we’re 23 we will be done.
Love All Mankind
I was writing a talk for church this coming Sunday. As I did so, my heart pondered upon the love for all mankind.
Book of Enoch
So, I am not a scholar. I’m not a good writer either. I’ll be the first to admit that. With that said, I’m going to make a few comments about The Book of Enoch.
Seeing though the veil.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see through the veil? If not completely through the veil, then maybe a glimpse?
Pastor Jeff Reads the Book of Mormon
I’m sorry, but I am geeking out on the Hello Saints channel by Pastor Jeff and his videos reading the Book of Mormon. It has been fascinating to me. Not because he is sharing anything profound, but how often he reinforces my love for the Book of Mormon.
