This Week - February 16, 2025
Chopsticks and Runny Jell-O
Broadcast Date: February 16, 2025
Not too long ago, I came home from work, and immediately sensed that something funny going on at the house. As the preparations were being made for the evening meal, I noticed that some of our finer plates and glasses were on the table, and my wife and daughters were looking at me and pointing at me, and speaking in hushed and whispered…
Skiing Faith
Broadcast Date: February 16, 2025
On a recent cross-country skiing vacation, I learned a meaningful lesson about, of all things, ‘faith.’ If you don’t mind, I’d like to share it with you.
We got to our rustic cabin late in the day. After unpacking, several of us decided we wanted to go out for a skiing run, even if it was late. According to the map, there was a trail…
George & Abe
Broadcast Date: February 16, 2025
The Lord Jesus once said, “If you continue in my word, then are ye my disciples, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8: 31-32) Religion and political freedom are inseparable principles. The Exodus of Moses and the Israelites attest to that. So in that spirit, and in the spirit of Presidents’ Day, may I…
The President
Broadcast Date: February 16, 2025
On May 30, 1787, a small group of men in Philadelphia changed the world.
Those men were the delegates to the Constitutional Convention. They created an officer of government on that date unlike any ever before, one destined to become the most powerful political figure in the world - the President of the United States.
“There must be…
Surrendering Power
Broadcast Date: February 16, 2025
It is a true principle that “it is the nature and disposition of almost all men as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.” Or as Lord Acton put it, “Power tends to corrupt.”
Now, how many millions of souls – when you think about it – have suffered because of…

Misti's Balloon
Broadcast Date: February 09, 2025
The Savior once said, “Ask, and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” It interests me that each of those words keynotes effort.
I want you to know that prayer works, and nothing is so trivial or insignificant that we cannot counsel with the Lord about it. I have a friend who learned years ago this important principle.…
John's Dream
Broadcast Date: February 09, 2025
True and pure love is a God-given and a God-ordained gift intended by Him to reach beyond the confines of our mortal experience. But as with most of God’s greatest gifts, it must be sought for. In 1964, Spencer Kimball shared the following story.
“So long as you both shall live.” John and Mary heard this as they were married in a civil ceremony in their Bishop’s…
Mary Ann Maughn
Broadcast Date: February 09, 2025
Mary Ann Weston Maughn was born and raised in England. She and her husband, John Davis joined the Church, and soon thereafter her husband was killed by a hateful mob. Mary Ann decided to leave England and emigrate to the United States to Nauvoo, Illinois. Once there, she met and married a widower named Peter Maughn taking the care of his five children. In 1850 the…
Rebekah's Kindness
Broadcast Date: February 09, 2025
May I tell you the story of a single act of kindness that affected the lives of billions, even to this day?
The ancient patriarch Abraham “…was old, and well stricken in age…” (*1) and he was concerned that his son Isaac was not yet married. So he called for his most trusted servant, and in the custom of the day, sent that servant back to the land of Abraham’s…
Edith and Phil
Broadcast Date: February 09, 2025
Having tasted of the love of God, the apostle John said, “… God is love; …” (1 John 4:16) Therefore, it would seem logical that the closer one comes to God, the more pure our love becomes, and the more compelling it’s power – and the more self-sacrificing its behavior.
On the day of their twentieth wedding anniversary, a warm pleasant Saturday in March, Edith and…
