This Week - May 25, 2025
Parting of the Waters
Broadcast Date: May 25, 2025
"... Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord ..." (1)
Trapped against the sea, the children of Israel cried out in terror as the chariots of Pharaoh descended upon them. Foolishly, they turned on Moses and railed on him.
"... stand still," Moses commanded, "and see the salvation of the Lord ..."
That night, God and…
Beloved Mother
Broadcast Date: May 25, 2025
You know, all of us have what we have, and are what we are because of the sacrifices of those who went before. Parents gave us life; teachers gave us knowledge; patriots gave us freedom. I wonder: Are we sufficiently appreciative?
My grandmother (is 90 years old. I love her dearly. She) has been my friend and teacher since I can…
The Hearts of the Children
Broadcast Date: May 25, 2025
Memorial Day was established to cause us to remember and honor those who have gone before us.
After the Civil War, there were those who wanted to remember and honor fallen Union soldiers. Eventually that sentiment expanded to include all those who had died in any war. And today Memorial Day is a national holiday where we remember all…
The Pharisee and the Publican
Broadcast Date: May 25, 2025
I want to tell you a story, which is true, but never actually happened. It’s a parable told by the Savior about two men praying in the Temple. And one of these men has become my hero, someone I’m trying, rather unsuccessfully, to be like. Now, here’s the story.
One of the men is devoutly religious. He works with great diligence to be…
Normandy
Broadcast Date: May 25, 2025
It was once said, “… all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good.” (D&C 122:7) May I illustrate what I mean?
June 1944: Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, in an effort to liberate war-torn Europe. Nine thousand, three hundred and eighty-six soldiers lost their lives in that offensive…
Last Week
Stalled
Broadcast Date: May 18, 2025
Somewhere along the way in my educational experience, I was taught that objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. Well, a few days ago I learned a powerful lesson about that.
I traveled to Wyoming in a large truck. It was a long trip. On my way back, I noticed that my fuel gauge was getting low. Well, I did a quick…
The Calling of Samuel
Broadcast Date: May 18, 2025
The word of the Lord is precious in any age, but in Samuel’s day, it was also rare. Why? Because no one was listening.
It was night, and Eli the High Priest had gone to bed. The child Samuel had also “…laid down to sleep;” (*1) when out of the darkness the Lord called Samuel by name. Well, to him it sounded like Eli’s voice to him, and he ran to Eli.
“…Here…
A Gnat on a Pillow
Broadcast Date: May 18, 2025
On a recent Saturday morning I woke up slowly. The morning light was streaming through the window. I opened my eyes, and there was a gnat only a fraction of an inch from my face. He was so close to the end of my nose, but so small, that I could barely see him. He was there only for a fraction of a second, and then he was gone! Now, I don’t know what but – most people…
Family Singing
Broadcast Date: May 18, 2025
My family loves music. We enjoy singing. And fortunately, not everyone in the family sings the way I do. Some of them actually have talent. Years of experience have taught me the awesome power of music to touch the soul for both good and bad.
It wasn’t long ago that my family traveled to Grandpa and Grandma’s house for a Sunday dinner. After a wonderful evening, we…
Jefferson's Inspiration
Broadcast Date: May 18, 2025
Inspiration can come so many ways – at any time, and from just about anywhere and anyone. And who can measure how many lives have been affected by a powerful idea?
For example, May 9, 1792: Alexander Mackenzie, a Scotsmen by birth and a Canadian fur trader and explorer, packed a 25-foot canoe at Fort Fork along the Peace River in Canada. He was determined to find a…
