The Lunar Eclipse

Broadcast Date: May 19, 2024
Not too long ago I came home and heard my youngest daughter say something about an eclipse. Well, I hadn’t heard much about it. I hurried outside and sure enough there was only a small sliver of bright light left. Well, I’m not an astronomer, but I understand this phenomenon was caused by the moon passing through the shadow of the earth…

You Are Special

Broadcast Date: May 19, 2024
Not long ago, I had an experience – oh, it was the experience of a lifetime. I came home late one night, tired and in bad need of some sleep, when my wife said to me rather sweetly, “Can I read you a bedtime story?” You can imagine the look I gave her. I haven’t had one of those in a very long time. But dutifully and obediently I sat…

Verda and Carl

Broadcast Date: May 12, 2024
When God created Adam and Eve, both had God-given specific roles. Eve was to be the mother of all living. She and her daughters would be co-creators with God, and with that role, it seems that He granted unto mothers that special inspiration necessary to protect and guide their children. Sometimes we call this gift ‘a mother’s intuition.' The greatest calling that…

Honor Thy Mother

Broadcast Date: May 12, 2024
Learning to honor our parents is so important that God made it a part of the Ten Commandments. If one cannot honor earthly parents who he can see, how can he honor heavenly parents that he can’t see? We well know how Jesus honored His father throughout His life, but what of the Savior’s relationship with His mother? How did He treat her? Here’s the story:At the age…

Mama's Boys

Broadcast Date: May 12, 2024
Long ago in a far away ancient land, a terrible war raged between two mighty armies. An innumerable army of evil invaders had taken many cities. The defenders struggled day and night on many fronts to maintain the cities they had, and to reclaim those which they had lost, but they were too few and spread too thin. However, Heaven justified their cause because they…

Love You Forever

It’s Mothers’ Day, and I hope you’ll forgive me, but there is a children’s book called “Love You Forever.” It’s written by Robert Munsch, and I would like to dedicate this to mothers that are listening, and especially to my own mother.
