Joseph Smith Sr.
Broadcast Date: April 21, 2024
February 1829: Notwithstanding the snow and cold, Father Joseph Smith Sr., now in his 58th year, arrived in Harmony, Pennsylvania in company with his son, Samuel, to visit his other son, Joseph Smith Jr., and his wife Emma. The work of translating the Book of Mormon was in process, but progressing slowly. In the course of that visit,…
My Mind Was Flooded with Ideas
Broadcast Date: April 21, 2024
In 1963, Alvin and his family found their faith in God. Excited and determined, they set out on a new life. Unfortunately, Alvin’s present job as a baker consumed long hours of his family time.

The Waters of Life
Broadcast Date: April 21, 2024
Word reached Jesus that His friend and forerunner, John the Baptist, had been martyred. Desiring to be alone with His apostles, Jesus crossed over the Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida on the northeastern shore. The crowds followed Him, and soon there were thousands. Filled with compassion, Jesus taught and ministered to them. Late that day He…
Remember Them No More
Broadcast Date: April 21, 2024
I have a thought just for those who – well, who might be still haunted by the mistakes of their past:
Years ago, a man was asked to serve as bishop. One night in the middle of the night, he was awakened by the doorbell. Standing there at his door was one of the young men that he knew very well.
“I have to talk to you, Bishop,” he said…
Run Away to Jesus
Broadcast Date: April 21, 2024
You know, there are times, I think, when we all feel like we’re completely alone in a great big world, and that no one cares. A friend of mine recently shared an experience of a time when she felt like the whole world was against her. And – and as she told me that story – of a time when she was just a little girl of about 4 years of age…
Last Week
Allelopathy
Broadcast Date: April 14, 2024
You know, sometimes you can learn some of the most important principles in the strangest places.
It was about 25 years ago on a field trip in the deserts of Utah that I first learned of this interesting phenomenon of nature. We were studying Juniper trees and it was pointed out to me how no grass ever grows in close proximity to Utah Juniper. Now, that’s not because…
Karen, Kyle, and the Atonement
Broadcast Date: April 14, 2024
Some two thousand years ago, the Savior of the world suffered in Gethsemane, died on the cross, and rose from the tomb. The Lord referred to these wonderful events by saying that He had “…finished my [his] preparations unto the children of men.” (D&C 19:19)Now that word intrigues me, ‘Preparations.’ What did He mean – ‘Preparations?’ It makes it sound like…
Jack-knifed
Broadcast Date: April 14, 2024
Not too long ago I was driving a truck along a road that I very seldom travel. I passed through a little town called Randolph, Utah, when all at once I was struck with a sense of familiarity. I was taken back 32 years ago along this same stretch of road when this experience occurred.
I had taken a load into Evanston, [and] I was on my way home now empty. My normal…
Nothing to Fear
Broadcast Date: April 14, 2024
Not too long ago I came around a corner on a quiet Wyoming highway, and there were some horses all bunched up and running. Now, I looked to see why – and there was a small dog chasing them. Now he couldn’t have weighed more than 10 pounds, but he had that whole herd of horses on the run. It was a comical sight to see all those great big horses running from one little…
The Adulterous Woman
Broadcast Date: April 14, 2024
I don’t think that I’m alone when I say that those who have had the greatest impact on me for good have been those who have defended me, believed in me, and loved me especially at those times when I was anything but worthy of it. And to me no one ever exemplified this better than the Savior. May I illustrate?
Early in the morning, the Savior is teaching in the…
