The Priesthood of Aaron
Twenty-five years ago he told his newly ordained deacon grandson (three years older than me and, by coincidence, currently serving as an Elder’s Quorum President) that he was not too pleased with the world conditions that the young men of that time were inheriting. It was the Savior’s teaching about baptism in Third Nephi that…

Generations Linked in Love
No matter your situation you can make family history a part of your life now. While the new Familysearch is an enormous step forward it is only a step.

O That Cunning Plan of the Evil One
The use of an artificial lure in fly fishing is similar to the way Lucifer imitates the truth to ensnare children of God. Addiction is surrendering to something that overrides our agency.

What Have You Done with My Name?
