There are really four basic or primary areas that a person needs to develop in order to fit into society and interact with other human beings. They include developing strength or proficiency in the areas of our: physical, social, mental and spiritual attributes. All four of those are mentioned by St. Luke in Describing how…

On Intelligence, Spirit, Soul and Man
All religions would most likely agree that God, the Father of us all, is all-powerful, most intelligent as well as eternal. Meaning He had no beginning and He has no end. If I were to say that about man, that he too, has always existed, there would be much opposition to such a statement. Doesn’t…
On Super Heroes
Growing up, I admired Superman, Captain Marvel and others, they were the superheroes of my day. For a time, they became an obsession for me. When I was around 9 or 10 years of age, I remember sitting on the base of the magazine rack, in the local drugstore, reading the latest magazine issues of…
On Perfection and Hope
Perfection is a hard word among those of us who know ourselves to be imperfect beings. Has there ever been a time that you haven’t wished that you were a little smarter, better looking, stronger, more ‘perfect’ in one way or another. The word perfect is used many times in the scriptures, usually in ways…
On Old Thing, New Meanings
I was sitting in church last Sunday listening to the speaker and he was talking about a subject that I had read over and over and heard speakers speak of it many, many times, but he had put a different twist on it. I hadn’t read the following story before to gather wisdom from it….

On God’s Humanity

On The Most Important Message
In leading up to the ‘most important event,’ I will first lay the groundwork. In laying the groundwork, we have to go back in history and become acquainted with, and understand what Moses’ final advice and warning was to the children of Israel before they crossed over the river Jordan and into the promised land….
On Angels Around Us
Alma, the great Book of Mormon Prophet, describes how angels have a place in our lives: “And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. And now, behold, I say unto you,…
On Destiny Of The Church Jesus Christ
As a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly referred to as (LDS), a little over sixty years ago, I was very impressed with the personal spiritual and progressive oriented doctrine, the organization and most importantly with the spirit displayed by the LDS people. Obviously, there have been many others that…
