Break the Bands

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Remember the One who has opened the way for us to be freed from death and sin.

Beauty For Ashes

Last Sunday the Provo City Center Temple was dedicated to the Lord! What a wonderful experience it was! Not only is this new temple a symbol of the Lord and His Atonement, but also of rebirth, renewal, and God's ability to take disaster and mourning and turn it into wonderful blessings.

The Greater Portion

Just as the understanding a student gains from their classes is proportional to the heed they give to the material, so it is with spiritual knowledge.  Those that prove faithful in seeking out spiritual knowledge will obtain it to a much greater degree than those who are merely passive about the acquisition of such knowledge.

Thy Rod Comforts

While pondering one of the most well-known and beloved Psalms, I suddenly recognized something. It is the Lord's rod and staff that can give us comfort when we are traveling through the valley's of mortality. What do they represent? I think it would be appropriate to draw a connection to the iron rod seen in Lehi's dream. The Lord has provided us with His word, which will be a comfort and a guide if we will cling to it with all our strength.
