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…

On Repetition
Repetition is one of the most common methods of learning. We have all heard the admonition to keep saying it until you know it by heart or keep doing it until you can do it without thinking about it. As a young man I was a bricklayer by trade, when I first stood on the…
On The Wisdom of ‘Job’
I very much enjoy reading the back and forth discussions between Job (Old Testament) and his friends. Job was a very wise and wealthy man; a God fearing man. During Job’s time, “the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord. Satan came also among them. The Lord said unto Satan, “Whence comest…
On God’s Laborers and Their Wages
God’s pay will not be a gold coin laid in our hand but rather bring about a feeling of satisfaction knowing that we have blessed another in some way or just do a kind deed because we saw an opportunity to do one. Very few things are more satisfying than the feeling we have after…
On Spiritual Obedience
Matthew Cowley, a member of the Twelve Apostles, found a picture of a workhorse while serving a mission in New Zealand in 1918. The picture so impressed him that it hung in his office until a week before he died. Before he died he gave the picture to Elder Glen L Rudd. The following poem,…

On God’s Pay
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 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 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…
