Three Gardens and the First Easter FHE
Elder Bruce R. McConkie gave a powerful talk in General Conference called The Purifying Power of the Atonement. It would end up being his last talk as he died three weeks later. In that talk Elder McConkie said, “As we read, ponder, and pray, there will come into our minds a view of the three […]
Always There are Those Angels
I had an experience almost two months ago that I’ve felt I needed to share but haven’t because, well, there’s always the question “Why didn’t that happen to so-and-so but it did to you?” And I don’t know the answer.

Hinckley at the Relief Society General Conference. I was only ten years old at the time. I knew nothing about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, nor […]
Fathers and Mothers Matter
The roles of fathers and mothers are downplayed in our society. The scorn comes from those who do not fully appreciate or catch the vision or have tasted the joy of being a father or a mother. Both are necessary ingredients not only in producing a child but in raising and rearing one. Fathers and […]
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God
In the stillness of morning the sun peaks out behind misty mountain tops. Its rays reach out to bathe my room in golden beams of light.
