This Week - June 21, 2026
Choose Ye This Day
Broadcast Date: June 21, 2026
Standing in their promised land, Joshua said to Israel, “… choose you [ye] this day whom ye will serve; … but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
Every morning when we get out of bed, we stand at a crossroads. In one direction lies a destination of misery and self-recrimination; in the other lies a…
Follow Me
Broadcast Date: June 21, 2026
May I say, and give it as an opinion, that all of us follow someone, whether we know it or not.
I recall some time ago being in the mountains on a memorable three-day adventure. The last leg of that ‘adventure,’ however, became a marathon twelve-hour hike back to civilization. Already worn down and tired from two days in the mountains,…
The Vision of Isaiah
Broadcast Date: June 21, 2026
Now, anyone who has set out to read the Book of Mormon has not gone far into the book before they encountered Isaiah, and as often as not he has proven a formidable stumbling block. Paradoxically, Isaiah is some of the most difficult scripture to understand, and yet by far, he is the most widely quoted of all the prophets. Nephi,…
The Battle of the Bulls
Broadcast Date: June 21, 2026
It is when we are put to the test that we discover our faith and courage, and often that comes all of a sudden. For example:
It was near the San Pedro River in Southern Arizona that on December 11th, 1946 that a significant event occurred in the history of the Mormon Battalion.
The men were camped there along the river, and for a…
David O. McKay and the Volcano
Broadcast Date: June 21, 2026
In 1921, David and a group of friends decided one evening while visiting in Hawaii that they wanted to see the Kilauea Volcano. So, together ten of them drove to the site of the then-very-active volcano. They stood on the rim and watched molten lava churning and boiling some 100 feet below.It was late in the evening and a stiff cold wind…
Last Week
Praise
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
It says in Pslams, “O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” (Psalms 104:24)
It seems to me that very few scriptural writers found more joy in the earth than did the psalmist David. From his writings all creation speaks the praise of the Lord, and reveals His wisdom. Now, like all scripture, the…
Emma Belle & Grandpa
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
In commemoration of events that took place June 27th, 1844, may I offer the following?
One day many years ago, some little girls were playing in front of Emma Belle’s house. They were talking about their grandfathers. Emma Belle had never heard of a grandpa [grandfather]. So she asked where hers was.
One of the older girls said, “Your grandpa was a bad man, and…
Sugar Cookie Baby-Sitter
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
Not only is the truest greatness found in doing well the things that the world deems [is] mundane, such things as parenting, but so too there is found our greatest happiness. May I illustrate?
With all the energy and agility that a six-year-old could muster, Jolee climbed atop the stool and perched herself at the kitchen counter beside her four-year-old sister,…
A Child's Gift
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
Ancient prophets saw our day, and they saw our weaknesses. Among those things they foresaw is that we moderns would struggle with – with in inordinate love of money and ‘toys.’ Well, perhaps it is timely to remind us all of a principle that Jesus taught:
He said, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves…
A Father's Prayer
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
I don’t believe there is a day that goes by but what I am reminded, as a father, of the great, awesome, and inescapable responsibility it is to be a father. I am keenly aware that I will be held strictly accountable for my actions in relation to my family. Therefore, it is my constant prayer that my children will cherish what I cherish, and serve as I have tried to…
