Follow Me
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
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 Battle of the Bulls
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
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 23, 2024
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…
Mosiah's Gift
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
This is that sacred and essential time of year when we remember our freedom, and how it was obtained. We remember with deep emotion those who sacrificed, fought, and died to preserve our liberty. We remember with fondness those great men and women who dared in a time to turn their backs on the rule of kings, and gamble their future on…
Miracle of Translation
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
Our God is a God of Miracles as this story illustrates.Joseph Smith was only 22 years-old in September of 1827, when he obtained the Gold Plates. He was charged to translate, but in the area of Palmyra, New York, there was not peace sufficient to do so. So in December of 1827, he moved to Harmony, Pennsylvania where he “commenced…
Last Week
Praise
Broadcast Date: June 16, 2024
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…

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…
Families Are Forever
Broadcast Date: June 16, 2024
John the Beloved said, “… God is love …” (1 John 4:16)Now please, think about this for a minute: If God is love, then love is forever; and if love is forever, then families must be forever. Please, let me illustrate.Grandpa and Grandma were serving the Lord back east when it was learned that Grandpa had cancer. The doctors gave him little hope. He grew steadily…
A Child's Gift
Broadcast Date: June 16, 2024
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 16, 2024
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…

Our Mission
Our mission is to directly or indirectly touch countless hearts to help prepare them to receive the fullness of the Gospel and/or live by its principles — to help others become prepared to meet the Savior at His second coming.
- Carl Watkins
"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward."
- Doctrine and Covenants 58:26-28
