Sometimes things move quickly, much quicker than expected. I don’t doubt that the Lord is involved in my life, as strange as it may be. I say strange, because I feel that I am a bit of an anomaly. I am a fossil from an older generation that likes to have everything in writing or […] The post Considering the Evidence of Brigham Young appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

Back on July 30th, I shared that I had an opportunity to meet with a former temple president and his wife. Carol and I are blessed to have them as our ministering brother and sister (current LDS terminology for home teachers). I have great respect and love for these kind people who visit us in […] The post According to LDS Doctrine, I Have Lost Everything appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

“The death cult now meeting in Chicago continues their war against children, encouraging the slaughter of the unborn. To interfere with God’s plan for mankind to bear children to replenish the earth, they offer free vasectomies and abortions during their national celebration of the power to destroy life. Interestingly, their convention’s first day repeatedly celebrated […] The post The Death Cult appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

I find the doctrines of salvation fascinating (beyond the books of Joseph Fielding Smith). Always have. When my family converted from the Presbyterian Church many years ago, my mother, as a professional educator, led our family in our study of the gospel. At one point in her career she held the position of “Director of […] The post The Holy Spirit of Promise, Revisited appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

First Impressions of a Familiar Book No, the 116 lost pages have not been found. That just happens to be how far I have read in the new Modern English version of the Book of Mormon, now given the title “Covenant of Christ” by the Lord. It also happens to coincide with Mosiah chapter one, […] The post First 116 Pages of Modern English Book of Mormon appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

Amazon Came Though Even With the Holiday When I placed the order last Saturday, the delivery date showed it would arrive this Saturday (today). During the week, I received an email from Amazon advising me the delivery would be delayed until Sunday, probably because of the holiday. Surprise, it arrived on time. I was delighted.

I have been enjoying the Top of the Mountains conference for the past few days, delighted that somebody arranged for streaming video of the speakers. On the conference page, it clearly states that Wi-Fi is not available at the site (and a beautiful site it is), so having the sessions available to view from the […] The post Well That Was A Surprise – Modern English Version of the Book of Mormon appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

I have been trying to be more deliberate about sharing appropriate things already recorded in my private journal onto my public blog, which, although the readership is small, invites feedback, almost all of which comes via personal emails and text messages. This blog is still open to public comments. Always has been. I have been […] The post Thoughts on Personal Revelation and Sealing Power appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more

Recently, Carol was assigned new ministering brothers. For those who aren’t familiar with the change in nomenclature, that would be home teachers. I was pleased to learn she was assigned a couple in our ward we greatly admire, who previously served as the President and Matron of the Los Angeles temple. We have been in […] The post As I Have Loved You appeared first on Latter-day Commentary - Last Days - Signs of the Times ..read more
