In a very interesting and provocative article. Bradlee Dean asked the question, “What would it be like, if…?” I have never thought too much about a question like that because it is pure speculation. There is really no way of knowing now how things would be different if history could be changed. We can’t change…

On Who Inspires Me
I have been blessed or cursed, depending on your point of view, to be a sensitive person. I can be moved to tears by what many people do and by what they say. Too, just viewing a new born baby in all of its sweetness and innocence will touch me to the point of bringing…
On Because of Him
Many of us never take time to really think of Christ from a broader perspective than the routine and common. We know Him through Old Testament prophecy and think of Him as the one who was born of Mary, she who was His virgin mother. We may even think of the shepherds and the wise…
On The Doctrine of The Plan of Salvation
Family history, in its broader sense, may be correctly referred to as a mystery of the Gospel. Why? Because the doctrine is not simple, nor is it found all in one place, a place where just anyone can become easily acquainted with it in its entirety. You might say that most of the doctrine that…

I know and testify that every individual human being who has ever lived upon this earth and all who ever will populate the earth were and are spirit offspring of our Heavenly Father. As Paul testified, “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like…
On Facades (Roles)
The first time I ever heard the word facade was when I was seventeen years old and working as a Hod carrier for a brick contracting company. We were contracted to put a brick facade on an old, three story bank building in my home town; new face on an old building. A facade is defined as…
On the Devil II
Those who do not believe in God, first did not believe in the devil. Before they will ever believe in God, they will first come to realize that there is, in fact, a devil. Ronald Reagan used to quote the following: “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”…
