I express my gratitude daily for all of the good people who serve and have served as volunteers at the FamilySearch Library. We often laugh as people express their pay grade or say, “The pay is out of this world.” The following poem is often quoted as well; “Who does God’s work will get God’s…

On Dogs Aren’t Perfect Either
Jeff Reagan is the founder of the ‘Patriot Health Alliance’ and he writes an interesting article: He said that, “Last week, Karen and I were volunteering at our favorite dog rescue, Harlequin Haven. They have this beautiful plot of land out in Bethel, Ohio where the dogs can run around and wrestle while they wait for…
On Niches
I was talking to one of my sons the other day about work, life and things in general. And the word ‘niche’ came up, and I thought that would be an important subject to think and write about. That is where most of these thoughts that make up the things I have written over the…
On Hesitation
There are many reasons why we should hesitate to do things, especially without having carefully thought them through first. The saying; ‘He who hesitates is lost” Is oftimes fool’s advice. Many decisions we make in life should be made a matter of prayer and or careful thought. When we are pressured to move forward with…

On Sunbeams and Paranoia
I was sitting near the window enjoying a light breakfast the other day and the warm morning sun was shining through the partially opened blinds and in the sunbeam were thousands of small particles floating in the beam. They appeared to have no weight as they danced up, down and around. They were very small…
On Big and Little Things
A man of God had a particular mission to perform. The Lord told him just what he must do, and just what he must refrain from doing. He could not go wrong if he followed instructions. The tragedy is that he strictly carried out the most difficult part, and failed in the easiest part of…
On Auras III
The light depicted as surrounding spiritual leaders in centuries old pictures and in glass art enhancing Church Cathedral Buildings is described as auras. I have written about auras before, especially when Christ appeared to the Nephite people after His resurrection. He was described as glowing. I also believe that I have seen people testifying of…
On “Joy”
After our first three children were boys, we were fortunate to have a little girl. It was a great joy for our family to have a sweet, thoughtful little girl. As she grew she would leave little loving notes around the house for her mother and father but even for her brothers. She was different…
