Talk: Enduring to the End M6 M2 Oct 2015

“Enduring to the end means being faithful to the end. This is not an easy task. It is intended to be difficult, challenging, and, ultimately, refining as we prepare to return to live with our Father in Heaven and receive eternal blessings.” Elder L. Tom Perry (“The Gospel of Jesus Christ” Apr 2008)

Talk: Healing as Jesus Healed SC Sep 2105

13/9/2015

0 Comments

 
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of healing. Christ's triumph over death and sin mean that we, you and I, will eventually and can even now begin to be healed wholly. Is there any sick among you? Are any tired, weary, forlorn? Any lonely? Any needing repentance? Physically, emotionally and spiritually, He can and does heal us all, often by the hand of his servants, if we but let him.

Talk: Teaching as Jesus Taught WE Jun 2015

21/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Christ taught by parable, by precept, through scripture, directly to those prepared, and by perfect example, always loving and inviting us to 'Come unto Him' and to repent and be healed. He reinforced these teachings with symbols; of bread and water, of lambs, rocks, salt, lamps, and seeds. He taught us to pray, to read and obey the scriptures, attend our meetings and fulfill our callings, to make and keep covenants, and to feel and follow the Spirit. We need to do the same in our homes with our families.

Jun 2015 Notes from RS Enrichment Presentation - rdd

As the resident expert (aka the only one Aubrey could convince to help her), I was asked to demonstrate my vast skills in dutch oven-ing-ry. Since I am also scheduled to attend Stake PEC at this same night and time, I decided to just video the presentation ahead of time for her. We can then start the dutch ovens and let them cook while the video is presented and the presentation will pretty much run itself.

Trek Journal - Pa Davies

3/6/2015

0 Comments

 
I am unsure as to why I felt to transcribe this journal and my final thoughts on trek in this fashion. For me it was a surprisingly spiritual experience, one that I hope was the same for those we shared it with. I admit to feeling a tiny bit jealous of my daughter as she described how she loved her trek family 'the best' but also see her reaction out of the corner of my eye as I pontificate on how great our trek family was, many of whom are her current classmates and friends. I feel the same feelings for both our trek family and their family(s) as I do for my own flesh and blood. I watch over and for them whenever they are near. My definition of 'family' has been expanded by this experience and hope to continue expanding it in all my callings. Do you love your neighbor? Do you know their names and worry over and for them? Do you watch and wait for them to turn the corner and wave hello just one more time? We do now ..

Talk: Joyfully Enduring to the End M1 M6 May 2015

17/5/2015

I would speak today of this concept of 'enduring to the end'. Why is it when we hear the word 'endure' or the phrase 'endure to the end' we automatically associate all those other 'less happy words' that seem to go along with it: pain, suffering, trials, hardship, and work?

Talk: Ministering Angels M5 Apr 2015 

19/4/2015

2 Comments

 
There is an unseen power all around us that protects and directs us for good. Although we cannot see it nor always feel it, we know it is there by observation and as taught us from other informed sources. With it we can determine which direction we must go, even when times are dark. It also protects us without us knowing, forming a protective layer on high that buffers us from fiery darts that may come our way.

    My mom (and my grandkids) couldn't be at all my public speaking assignments, so I post them here for them/her and you to read ..

    Disclaimer: These thoughts are not official church policy and in the end are but my own current ideas on the subject(s) 'mingled with scripture'. Regardless, I hope they are of some value to you, dear internet browser.
