“The words of God, which he spoke unto Moses at a time when Moses was caught up into an exceedingly high mountain… and he talked with him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence. And God spoke unto Moses saying; “Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty…” P…

On Who Am I?
There are some who would have me believe that I am no more than a few cents worth of various chemicals. There are others who would place a much higher value on me. They would tell me that I am, ‘a son of God’. He who is the creator of this whole universe, who commissioned…
On Heaven or Hell on Earth
The Heaven or Hell of which theologians teach can be no better or worse than the heaven or hell which we, the children of the Almighty, often create for ourselves right here on earth. We just have to realize how well we have been taken care of, taken care of and blessed by a world…
On Being Good for Nothing
I remember reading the late Paul Harvey’s, “The Rest of the Story” when I was younger and how impressed I was with the stories of great people. One such story was about a young boy named ‘Guiseppe’. Guiseppe’s father was an Italian fisherman who came to America with his family, bought a fishing boat and…
On The Birds and The Bees
A little girl came running out of the house to where her daddy was working in the yard and ask him, “Daddy what’s sex?” Even though she was rather young to be asking a question like that, he thought, well, if she’s asking the question she must be ready to learn something about it. So…

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 “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…
On Baby Blessings
I have always looked forward to the times that new babies are blessed in our Church. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, babies are usually blessed on the first Sabbath day of the month. When a baby—girl or boy reaches approximately a month to two months old they are given a blessing,…
On Touch
I believe that one’s affection for another is best demonstrated by hugging, holding their hand, rubbing their backs, being side by side with them. For Dad’s to roughhouse with their sons and mothers to pamper their daughters is an important part of family life and for children to grow up healthy. Now there is ample…
