Serve Thy Mother

Broadcast Date: May 10, 2026
You know, there are only three known references to Jesus’ direct interactions with His mother after His public ministry began.

He comes with His disciples…

Honor Thy Mother

Broadcast Date: May 10, 2026
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…

Mama's Boys

Broadcast Date: May 10, 2026
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.

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.

Last Week

Annie and Mosiah

Broadcast Date: May 03, 2026
I was sitting at my desk working one afternoon when the front door opened and in walked my Annie, just getting home from school. “Daddy,” she called through the house. “Up here,” I said.She came up, flopped down, and with no preamble said, “Is the second coming going to be this year?”How’s that for a report on your day? Well, she went on to tell me that there’d been…

The Skunk

Broadcast Date: May 03, 2026
Many years ago when I was a just boy growing up on the ranch, a friend and I came upon a skunk caught in a trap. That little critter was so hopelessly tangled in the fence that he couldn’t move an inch, at least so I thought. Now, it’s a long story that I won’t bother to tell here, but I decided I was going to let that skunk go. I had done this before, and I knew…

Is It Worth It?

Broadcast Date: May 03, 2026
If you are like me, sometime today your faith in God is going to ask you to attend a meeting. And if you don’t go, you’ll feel guilty. It’s going to ask you to sacrifice in the form of your time, your effort, and maybe even your money. Now I ask, is it worth it? I mean, all of the effort that you expend to keep the commandments, love God, serve others, save…

It is said that in the holy temple families are organized forever. Well, may I share one family’s somewhat unusual story?
