We invite you join us as we study and ponder the scriptures. Here are the links to our scripture ponderings. A small clip from each post is included.
Some Things Said Just Ain’t So, Part 1 Does being sustained as
prophets, seers, and revelators by the members of the church automatically give
men a special spiritual endowment in connection with their teaching of the
people? Does the sustaining vote of church members by common consent give the
First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve the right, the power, and authority
to declare the mind and will of God to his people? How does a man become a
prophet of God? What kind of servant does God ordain? July 2, 2012
Climbing the Mountain – Reaching for God As we hike the mountain, we
can look at and contemplate the symbols, types, and shadows God provides. If we look with eyes to see, we can learn
much of Him and our journey back into his presence. Today is the Summer
Solstice. It is a day of most sunlight and begins summer. To help us remember
that all light comes from God, we decided to climb the mountain and celebrate
this day with Him. June 21, 2012
Be Slow to Judge Jesus showed me that he is slow to judge. I saw myself standing before the Lord at the judgment bar. Christ was looking at his hand as if he were reading it and said, “Okay, let’s see how you want me to judge you. Let’s look at how you judged others.” I hadn’t expected this. It was then that I realized I had created my own measuring rod. The mercy I had shown to others would be shown to me. June 3, 2012
What Would You Say If You Saw Us? Part 1 Those who have come unto Christ, been covered by Him, and entered into the Father's presence have a fulness, but all those who have not experienced such a connection with heaven, no matter what keys, positions or power they claim to hold, cannot and do not possess the fulness because only the Father has the role to confer it. The prophets who have communed with heaven, like Nephi, are given the higher priesthood of God, which includes the sealing power. Neither the church nor men can confer it, only God. May 14, 2012
How Oft Have I Gathered You Just as a baby finds nourishment, protection, and love in the arms of her mother, our needs are fulfilled in the arms of our Maker. March 28, 2012
Business is Thriving in Salt Lake City As we drove up State Street, we couldn’t help but notice the many
tattoo parlors, smoke shops, bars, and pawn shops. I wonder if the environment
surrounding State Street was a motivating cause behind the City Creek
development? Is economic
self-reliance going to build the Kingdom of God on earth? Has Christ asked us
build a massive Babylonian Empire? How does City Creek “care for those in our community
least able to provide for themselves”? Will shopping malls
revitalize Salt Lake City? Will City
Creek change human nature and take the slums out of people? July 12, 2012
Why We Write When we came to the
startling realization that we must be redeemed from the fall in this lifetime, we began to call upon the Lord. We make this record for our
posterity, friends, family, and others who seek the face of God. As we continue to plead and
beg for forgiveness, God unveils our false notions. We
struggle, we laugh, and we cry. We’ve experienced challenges and
failures in
almost every area of our life, yet we trust we can be made clean through
the
atonement of Jesus Christ. July 11, 2012
Worshipping Men, No Can Do Elder Bednar walked in at
7:00 p.m. and almost everyone stood up to welcome him. I wonder why he had everyone arrive at 6:30
p.m. when he barely showed up on time. What’s all this standing up for an
apostle business? When my family came
home and told me what had happened, I was troubled. Is this kind of elitist idol
worship going to save us? Can anyone but the Lord, Jesus Christ redeem us? Should we put anyone except God on a
pedestal? Then why do we do it? If everyone is doing it, do we have to join
in? How does idol worship damn its
participants? July 8, 2012
Some Things Said Just Ain’t So, Part 5 Conclusion Who claims to be God’s
prophets? Has God given them power? Have they come from the presence of God
with a message? Have they been ordained priests after the holy order of the
Son of God? If so, by whom were they ordained? Have they received the sealing power from God, been given authority by Him to
speak in His name, and publicly proclaim a binding message from heaven to His
people? July 7, 2012
Some Things Said Just Ain’t So, Part 4 Is Gender an essential
characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and
purpose? Here are some fascinating
views of modern day “prophets, seers, and revelators”. Their versions of
doctrine seem to be at odds with each another and to be very difficult, if not
impossible, to reconcile and join together. July 6, 2012
Some Things Said Just Ain’t So, Part 3 Does President Hinckley really mean that any individual
who makes disparaging remarks concerning those of another race is NOT considered a true disciple
of Christ? If this is the case, are the racist Church presidents and apostles
condemned and not considered true disciples of Christ? July 4, 2012
Recently, the church has
officially declared its current position regarding priesthood for blacks and
racism. Here are portions of two statements that help reveal current Church doctrine
regarding these issues . . . If we accept current Church
doctrine as truth, how do we regard Brigham Young and the words he spoke? July 3, 2012
Are We Not All Beggars? We had a chance to go to
Salt Lake City and check out City Creek.
We met a few people who were begging on the street. Why do we need to repent of
our tightfisted attitudes? Why are the
stingy people denied access into the kingdom of God? July 1, 2012
The Church Restored Through the Prophet Joseph Smith – Part 2 We are surely in an awful
situation with threatening minefields lurking about. This is especially
daunting with the realization that the gentiles are in a state of unbelief,
under condemnation, without the fullness of the gospel, disconnected from heaven
and, therefore, without power. Anyone can obey His voice
and receive the attached blessing to see His face and know Him. It’s just a
matter of who truly wants to. June 30, 2012
I value my membership in The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, through which, gospel principles
are taught, ordinances are performed, and much is offered to mankind. I am an imperfect, flawed,
and deficient human. I am in the learning process, ridden with errors, and
seeking redemption. Leaders are human too. The Book of
Mormon is a handbook to help us gentiles to avoid deadly minefields surrounding
us and to bring forth fruit
meet for our Father’s kingdom. June 27, 2012
Be Slow to Judge Jesus showed me that he is slow to judge. I saw myself standing before the Lord at the judgment bar. Christ was looking at his hand as if he were reading it and said, “Okay, let’s see how you want me to judge you. Let’s look at how you judged others.” I hadn’t expected this. It was then that I realized I had created my own measuring rod. The mercy I had shown to others would be shown to me. June 3, 2012
He Shall Sit as a Refiner and Purifier of Silver How do you know when the silver is
fully refined? He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy - when I
see my image in it." How does charity purify true
followers of Jesus Christ? What is the purpose of the refiner’s fire? It’s interesting that as we
approach the Son, the heat intensifies, and our need for living water also
increases. June 2, 2012
Opposition Strengthens the Soul We are like a moth emerging
from a cocoon. As we are met with resistance on every side, we are fortified
and strengthened. Our struggles are calculated to become some of our greatest
blessings. This challenging obstacle course is exactly what we need. My journey
is custom-made for me. Your experience will be different than mine and
specifically made for you. If we were to go through life without any
impediments, difficulties, or complications, we would remain crippled and sick.
June 1, 2012
The Prophet’s Last Dream – A View of My Old Farm We’ve been talking about
parables, symbols, and what the Lord has to unveil to those with eyes to see
and ears to hear. Joseph Smith had this dream the night before he was martyred.
What do we learn from the Prophet’s dream? What do the symbols reveal? May 30, 2012
Old Paradise Church – Corner Stones, Rocks, Bells, and Towers They plan to use one of the original cornerstones in the new
building. They plan to make a monument
out of the other cornerstone. Dark storms are coming. If
they haven’t reached us yet, they are on their way. Upon what rock must we
build our foundation? May 29, 2012
Old Paradise Church – Demolition The track hoe operators
seemed to know the routine of razing a building and chose bearing walls and
supporting beams as the first objects to damage and weaken. This corrupted the
structural integrity of the church. May 28, 2012
Old Paradise Church – Removing Large Trees We looked up and noticed the huge pine trees
that surrounded the church. They’ve
been there for a long time and have strong, deep roots. The thought came, there’s no way they can
build the new church with those gigantic trees in the way. May 27, 2012
Old Paradise Church – Replanting As we spent several days
rescuing these plants, some thoughts went through my mind: We took what
no one else wanted. We have the machinery that allows us to
accomplish this huge project. The items
salvaged from the inside the building were dead. If they were scarred
during the removal process, they will
remain scarred. We took the living
things from the church. In time, they
will grow, regenerate, and flourish in their new environment. May 26, 2012
Old Paradise Church – Building Ransacked I didn’t walk through the
condemned church until Friday, April 13, 2012.
The doors were open for those who were still salvaging their
purchases. If I didn’t know better, I
would have thought a bunch of vandals had been through the building. May 25, 2012
Old Paradise Church – How it Used to Be One of the oldest
Mormon chapels in Utah will soon be demolished to make way for a new church.
The 133-year-old church in Cache County will be
leveled [May 2012]. Church historians say the chapel, located in the heart of Paradise. May 24, 2012
Parables Veiling the Obvious Using parables, Jesus can
teach us so much with so few words. He puts the mysteries of God on display for
everyone with eyes to see. Christ has many things to teach us. How fast are we ready to learn? May 23, 2012
Polygamy I am not going to throw out
the Bible because Father Abraham was a polygamist; neither do I believe Abraham
to be an adulterous man because he had wives and concubines .
Both the Jews and Christians look to Abraham as the father of many nations. May 17, 2012
The Doctrine of the Anti-Christ I have been so deeply
indoctrinated with the false belief that I should follow somebody, who is
superior to me in gospel knowledge and privilege, that I have acted foolishly.
I have found it is very easy to get caught up in: Who is the most admired among
us? Having a calling from God gives us status. I’m important
because I know so and so. Look at me, aren’t I great? etc. Those who led the church of
God in the days of Christ did not understand their damning influence upon the
Jewish people, and if they did, they intentionally rebelled against God. Christ
wisely counseled his followers. May 16, 2012
What Would You Say If You Saw Us? Part 2 We, the latter day saint
gentiles, play a key part in the visions many prophets have seen and are now
seeing. Our day has been revealed in detail and these prophets are eyewitnesses
of us and our doings. So, what did Moroni see and
record concerning us and our day? How did he describe us? What did he say about
the conditions of the world? People? Other circumstances? Did Moroni include
any information, counsel, recommendations, advice, warnings, or admonitions? May 15, 2012
What Would You Say If You Saw Us? Part 1 Those who have come unto Christ, been covered by Him, and entered into the Father's presence have a fulness, but all those who have not experienced such a connection with heaven, no matter what keys, positions or power they claim to hold, cannot and do not possess the fulness because only the Father has the role to confer it. The prophets who have communed with heaven, like Nephi, are given the higher priesthood of God, which includes the sealing power. Neither the church nor men can confer it, only God. May 14, 2012
Warring for Souls
The war that began in heaven
continues. The Devil and his angels
have been cast out of heaven down to the earth. Satan knows his time is short and comes against us in great wrath.
The climax of the battle is upon us. May 11, 2012
“And these signs shall
follow them that believe—in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any
deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they
shall recover;” Those who think the devil
only has power to tempt and put thoughts into your mind have been deceived by
the evil spirits that possess your body. The Devil doesn't want us to
know how real he is. He likes to stay hidden and undetected. May 6, 2012
The Great and Abominable Church, Part 3 If you were to receive a
message from a bearer of light and truth, would you listen? Would the message
be worth considering? Would you want it confirmed as a true message from heaven
by praying and asking God directly? Is receiving a witness from the Holy Ghost
necessary or important to obtain? May 5, 2012
The Great and Abominable Church, Part 2 When a few
humble followers of Christ recognize the distorted doctrine, see it for what it
really is, and say, "I don't believe what is being taught", the
church of the adversary begins to enforce by power and influence. The
saints are scoffed at, ridiculed, and condemned. Often, they are rejected,
abandoned, and cast out. Abomination looks right and is justified in the
minds of many people because the church says so and the majority really believe
it. May 4, 2012
The Great and Abominable Church, Part 1 The children marveled that
the devil would be the leader of this church throughout the world and have such
tremendous influence over the children of men. It’s frightening that so many people are deceived. They accept
and join the church of the devil and claim it to be the true church of
God. As we read about the desires,
motivations, and characteristics of this great and abominable church, little
eyes began to open. May 3, 2012
Jesus set out two
fascinating contingencies to meet the criteria to actually be His church.
First, be called in Christ’s name. Second, the church must be built upon His
gospel, not upon the works of men, or upon the works of the devil. What is His gospel?What is the doctrine of Christ? What did He teach? Do we live
what He exemplified? Do we consider ourselves a
chosen and a holy people while believing others are wrong and corrupt? May 2, 2012
What’s the big deal if
someone chooses to believe something different than what everyone else
believes? Would it be sinful to declare, “This man does not seem to believe
what is being taught”? Would it be grounds for apostasy and excommunication to
publicly declare your belief, even if no one agrees with you? What if you put
your thoughts on a blog? Is there any law in the LDS church against
someone’s beliefs? May 1, 2012
God, I’m ready… Then do it! Part 2 I was still sitting in my
chair talking with God. I communicated, “Okay, I’m ready to do whatever you
tell me to do.” An immediate reply came, “Then go do what I’ve already told
you.” I asked, “What is it that you have already told me to do? I don’t
remember anything remarkable, extraordinary, or impressive that you’ve asked me
to do. I am failing to remember an assignment from you of any great importance.
Help me. What am I missing?” April 30, 2012
God, I’m ready… Then do it! Part 1 I was sitting in my chair,
pondering, and asking God questions. What lack I yet? What stands between you
and me? I’m ready to do whatever you tell me to do. Father, what do I need to
do to know thee? What is required of me to obtain a promise of eternal life?
How can I get a promise, the everlasting covenant directly from you? April 29, 2012
And They Shall Fall Into the Pit Which They Digged “For that which ye do send
out shall return unto you again, and be restored.” Or in other words, what goes around comes around. . . The Devil and his children
are digging the great pit, which is designed to ensnare the people of
the Lord. Can we see the pit? Where is
it? What does it look like? What are we
going to do? Are we going to warn our
family, friends, and neighbors? What if they mock and ridicule us, calling us a
fool? What if they falsely accuse
us? Should we stop sounding the alarm? April 24, 2012
Connections in High Places Having connections in high places seems beneficial when you
are competing for something that appears to exist in limited supply. . . Maybe there’s a higher way to look at this. April 22, 2012
Abraham – A Change of Residence
Abraham
lived in a society that had deteriorated to a
low state of idolatry and sin. Abraham
saw that it was needful to obtain another place of residence. April 20, 2012
Abraham Rejects the Traditions of His Father The feast ended,
the king returned, and when he saw all his idols shivered in pieces, he
inquired who had perpetrated the mischief. Abraham was named as the one who had
been guilty of the outrage, and the king summoned him and questioned him as to
his motive for the deed. Abraham replied: "I did not do it; it was the
largest of the idols who shattered all the rest. Seest thou not that he still
has the axe in his hand? And if thou wilt not believe my words, ask him and he
will tell thee." April 19, 2012
Jeremiah Rebukes Latter Day Prophets, Part 3 How will we respond to
Jeremiah’s rebuke? April 18, 2012
Jeremiah Rebukes Latter Day Prophets, Part 2 "Behold, I am against
them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord,
and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their
lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not
profit this people at all, saith the Lord." April 17, 2012
Jeremiah Rebukes Latter Day Prophets, Part 1 As gentiles, we might think that Jeremiah is only
talking about the past. To help us along, Jeremiah tells us the timeframe for
the fulfillment of this prophecy. “The
anger of the Lord shall not return, until he
have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the
latter days ye shall consider it perfectly." April 16, 2012
Persecution, then Respect, then Popular, and then Admiration I found some interesting
quotes from church leaders over the last 150 years or so. They have different opinions
about what persecution and acceptance really mean. Everyone has his or her own
opinion. See what you think. April 15, 2012
The Lord Will Never Permit the Prophet to Lead You Astray? I heard the Lord saying, “Where did you get
this strange doctrine that I won’t allow a prophet to lead you astray? When did
I declare such a thing? Where is it recorded?" April 13, 2012
Blessed are Ye When Men Shall Revile You and Persecute What a strange phenomenon.
Try wrapping your head around this one. Does Christ really take away
the pain, when we are reviled for Him, and replace it with joy? This is
exciting. April 12, 2012
Awakening to Our Awful Situation “While the bridegroom
tarried, they all slumbered and slept.” Who
wants to be sleeping when He comes? Who will miss the wedding? What is the
difference between the wise and foolish ones? What does it look like to be
sleeping? What does it look like to be awake? April 11, 2012
Forgiveness, the Healing Balm of Gilead What
do we do with the pain that comes upon us by the deliberate or unintentional
acts of others? Forgiveness is a balm that heals wounds. Through
the power of Christ, we are able to let the pain go. April 10, 2012
Did you walk away from the Mormon faith? I don't mind answering. I prefer it when people ask straightforward questions. No, I haven't walked away from the Mormon faith. I still strongly believe in Joseph Smith as a prophet of God and the Book of Mormon as another testament of Jesus Christ. I also believe in the Bible. The center of my faith is Jesus Christ. I don't agree with some of the beliefs that are being perpetuated in the Mormon Church today, but I haven't given up on the Mormons. March 31, 2012
How Oft Have I Gathered You Just as a baby finds nourishment, protection, and love in the arms of her mother, our needs are fulfilled in the arms of our Maker. March 28, 2012
The Grieving Process and False Beliefs Over the last few years, I’ve had some of my major paradigms rearranged and turned upside-down. It’s been challenging. My false beliefs have been with me all my life, and I see myself going through the 7 Stages of Grief as I abandon them. March 23, 2012
Opening and Closing the Heavens Monkey Style How to train a monkey to stop reaching for bananas . . . When I read about the policy established in the monkey society, I recognized a similar behavior experienced by us . . . Those that have become institutionalized will gang attack and seek to control those who are making an effort to know God. . . What would happen if a determined, stair-climbing, banana-eating monkey replaced one of those other monkeys? March 20, 2012
On the Road to Eternal Life John was asking and pleading with the Lord, “Open my eyes so I can see. . . Then an analogy came to mind . . .So, turn on the GPS, type in the address, open your ears and eyes, and get ready for the ride of your life. March 19, 2012
The Rights and Privileges of the Women in the Church Sisters administering to the sick? Females laying on hands? Anointing with oil? Casting out devils? All that believe, whether male or female? A sweeping promise? Sisters ordained? And if the sisters should have faith to heal the sick, let all hold their tongues, and let everything roll on. March 4, 2012
Looking for Witnesses of Christ, Part 4 Conclusion Throughout my life, I’ve loved reading the stories in the Book of Mormon. I’m beginning to see that these stories are all about coming unto Christ. Throughout the book, we are given one example after another. Each story is a little different, and every individual has their unique set of obstacles and challenges. It’s their differences that teach us the invitation to come unto Christ is open to all. March 12, 2012
Looking for Witnesses of Christ, Part 3 Witnesses of Jesus can teach and help us as we seek to also become witnesses. Let’s look at some of the experiences and commonalities among witnesses in the Book of Mormon. March 9, 2012
Looking for Witnesses of Christ, Part 2 What is a witness? What makes an individual a reliable witness? . . . In a courtroom, can anyone just decide to be a witness because they want to be one? Or do they qualify as a witness because they “see or know by personal presence”? . . . So if God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, where are the latter-day witnesses? March 2, 2012
Looking for Witnesses of Christ, Part 1 Who is qualified to be a witness of Christ? I’m not a lawyer, but I have enough understanding to see the importance of having reliable, firsthand witnesses during a trial . . . Who would be a more dependable witness? One who believes, has faith, and knows about the Savior of the world? February 27, 2012
Ever Increasing Truth or Escalating Entropy? God creates, builds, organizes, and overcomes entropy. He quickens, enlightens, and gives life. Satan opposes God’s order. . . God sends true messengers to restore truths, establish order, and bring back that which was lost. February 23, 2012
Wolves in Sheep Attire, Part 2 True messengers of God stand at the mile markers and point confused and uninformed souls to Christ. On the other hand, Satan and his false priests stand in the middle of the road with detour signs that say, “Follow Me.” February 21, 2012
Wolves in Sheep Attire, Part 1 How can we tell the difference between a wolf and a sheep? When God sends prophets to teach and warn, can we distinguish between the genuine, bona fide, real McCoy and a wolf? February 18, 2012
Second Comforter Hymn - In Ancient Days The early saints sang and talked about receiving the second comforter. Joseph Smith boldly taught the importance of seeking the Lord’s face. This song was in the 1835, 1840, and 1844 Hymn Book. February 15, 2012
I’m Just as Good as the Next Damned Soul As I talk to others, I realize that many people do not believe that a common person like you and me can have an audience with God and talk to Him face to face . . . “My child, you’ve put in a big request. Are you ready to go the distance?” Naively, I replied, “Yes, yes!” . . . God needed to show me where I stood, in order to move forward. February 7, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 7 Conclusion Even if the fullness of the priesthood was taken from the saints and all that remains is the lesser priesthood, there is still a wonderful opportunity to connect with heaven. . . It is only through Christ, not men or organizations, that we are able to obtain forgiveness and be saved . . . When we are ready to come to him, he is ready to come to us. February 13, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 6 One of the greatest gifts we can receive in this life is the gift of knowing Christ. It would be very valuable to seek after the Heavenly Gift while in this telestial kingdom . . . We must each individually rend the veil of unbelief and converse with the Lord through the veil. February 11, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 5 As I began writing, I felt the importance of sharing a few additional thoughts before proceeding with the questions at the end of the last post. . . Asking challenging questions often causes serious reflection and thoughtful consideration. . . When new ideas and principles actually begin to make sense, I find myself in a dilemma as I reconcile my old beliefs with the new material and evidence. February 9, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 4 In the year 1844, Joseph Smith was killed and taken from among the Nauvoo saints. It appears they may have missed the opportunity to receive the fullness of the priesthood, and therefore lacked power from heaven. . . Is this the same order of priesthood that we receive from men today? February 4, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 3 Did the saints meet the Lord’s deadline to build His house? . . .At Joseph’s death, on June 27, 1844, the Nauvoo Temple was still in the early stages of construction. . . “Around midnight on 8–9 October 1848, the Nauvoo Temple was set on fire.” . . . Does this sound like a spot that was made holy? February 1, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 2 The saints were being offered a second chance to receive the fullness of the priesthood. Let’s look at the terms of the oath and promises. . . Don’t let this opportunity to establish Zion pass you by! . . .The Lord also gives the penalty for failing to hearken to His voice. . . What does history reveal? January 29, 2012
Child’s Sincere Temple Question, Part 1 Dad, I wonder if the temple ordinances are real and legitimate. Are they?. . . What about others who are really good people? What about people who seem much more righteous than me . . . The church is currently still under condemnation. January 27, 2012
Who Should I Follow? In a world where there are so many that set themselves up as a light and example, the answer to this question can appear quite complicated. . . We can only follow one shepherd. Who will it be? January 31, 2012
Not All Who Wander Are Lost I think it’s healthy to have differences in opinions. No mortal is infallible, and we all have much to learn in our search for truth. . .When I share ideas and ask questions, I occasionally get comments like: you’re going off the deep end; you’re apostatizing; or if you don’t believe as we believe, you and your family are going to hell . . . Worshipping God according the dictates of our own conscience is a privilege to be claimed. It is highly unlikely that society is just going to offer it to us. January 30, 2012
Caring for the Poor, Part 2 God has asked us to pay tithes and offerings, and most Christians give some kind of offering to the church they attend. So how does the Lord want us to spend the money? January 18, 2012
Mega Churches – Robbing the Poor, Part 1 When reading the scriptures, there’s a tendency to see our self as the good guy in the story and mock the bad guy for his stupidity. . . I’ve been thinking about what it means to care for each other and care for the poor. . . “They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries.” Who is He talking about? Is he talking to me? January 16, 2012
Keep Those Questions Coming I hear God saying, “Keep those questions coming. You need to learn how to ask meaningful questions if you intend to find me.” Over and over he counsels us to ask, seek, and knock. January 13, 2012
Work We Must, but the Lunch is Free We don’t have the money to do what we used to do . . . The Lord asks us to forget about lunch, and do his work, and the lunch will be taken care of. January 12, 2012
Come to the Source, Clean and Living Waters It is a common tendency for us to get in each other’s way on this journey back to God. Much of it is done with good intentions, but it still gets in the way. As you read the following parable ask yourself: Am I one of the bulls? Am I one of the cattle drinking dirty water? Or am I willing to go to the Source and drink clean and living water? "Our Father in Heaven showed to me something like a waking dream . . . January 11, 2012
Communicating With God January 11, 2012 Jonathan and Crystalynne were sitting at the kitchen table talking. We overheard their conversation. “So, what do you want to learn today?” “Nothing.” “Cool, you want to learn nothing today? ”So God asks us the same question, “What do you want to learn today?” What’s your answer? January 11, 2012
Truth Brings Accountability and Freedom We were talking about this idea with our family. April said, “No, please don’t give me more truth. That’s too much to be responsible for.” Emily said, “Oh no, we don’t want to shun off truth. It opens doors and makes us free.” January 8, 2012
Somewhere Over the Rainbow I've always loved rainbows. I think of God when I see their beauty. It's a lot like life. There's a silver lining in every cloud and a rainbow after the storm. January 5, 2012
