I remember seeing a movie many years ago called Blade Runner starring Harrison Ford. The show was based on a futuristic San Francisco where a few human-like replicants remained. Ford’s job was to destroy the remaining replicants, those who appeared human but were mechanical robots. Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) a replicant, played in one of the…

On Sitting
Sitting and thinking has never been easy for me because there are so many internal as well as external distractions. Most of my adult life I have been an administrator, either at a large university or at a Church Family History Library. My mind has been full of budget concerns, personnel and training questions, etc….
On One Moment In Time
The song, “One Moment in time” was sung by Whitney Houston, as written by Albert Hammond and John Bettis: “Give me one moment in time,When I’m more than I thought I could be, When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away, And the answers are all up to me,Give me one moment in time,When…
On Things
I have never met a person who did not know how old they were. It is one of the ways we evaluate our lives. Celebrating birthdays is common in most all countries as far as I know. However, I read this notation from the life of Napoleon the other day and found one who did…
On Love By Service
It is interesting to me how one who is shown love returns that love to the one who loved. There is a story that I have always enjoyed and I have wanted to share it because it has such a great moral to it. It is a ‘Once Upon A Time’ story that starts out…
On One Last Time
My sweetheart and I have been together as man and wife for over 61 years, and we both know that our time on earth is drawing near the end. We must know unconsciously, as well, because we tend to say more often, “I love you” and we hug a little longer after prayer each night….
On Spending A Little Time
I sometimes think to myself that I haven’t spent much time with one of my children. I need to call him/her and take them to dinner or do something with them. I say children but the youngest is 45 and the oldest of the six would have been sixty years old this year. He passed…
On Energy
Energy is associated with almost everything, for an individual it is an evaluation of what makes him move, work and think. It may be associated with a person’s job, how they make a living. It is associated with how the person plays and exercises. And it determines what a person does when they get home…
On The Soulmate Myth?
There are those who generally believe that there is one, and only one, right person to marry—their ‘soulmate.’ Helen Hayes made an important observation when she said; “The story of love is not important—what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.” My…
On Intelligence/Genius
I have been interested in observing acts of genius and intellectual behavior for many years, I suppose, ever since I first read from the Book of Abraham in respect to Intelligence, its meaning and its distribution in the world: “Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world…
