This Week - June 14, 2026
Praise
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
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,…
Emma Belle & Grandpa
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
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…
Sugar Cookie Baby-Sitter
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
Not only is the truest greatness found in doing well the things that the world deems [is] mundane, such things as parenting, but so too there is found our greatest happiness. May I illustrate?
With all the energy and agility that a six-year-old could muster, Jolee climbed atop the stool and perched herself at the kitchen counter beside…
A Child's Gift
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
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…
A Father's Prayer
Broadcast Date: June 14, 2026
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,…
Last Week
Old Faithful
Broadcast Date: June 07, 2026
Over the years I have observed some of the most arrogant, independent, and unlikely people fall to their knees and beg God for help in their times of trouble. I’ve often wondered why this is. And you know, I – I don’t know all the reasons. But a recent experience in Yellowstone Park may shed some light on why they always go back there.
My family and I decided to be…
Modesty
Broadcast Date: June 07, 2026
Raising children sometimes presents some pretty perplexing problems. I am one father who is very glad that the Lord is quick to help.
One day I was having some difficulty trying to convince my daughter why she should not wear short shorts. She was a teenager at the time and it was summer.
“Everyone else is doing it,” she told me.
My lecture on modesty was getting…
Sherem and Jacob
Broadcast Date: June 07, 2026
We live in tough and tumble times when men stumble about looking for meaning in life. Where is peace? Who really knows joy?Well, it was a moment so rare and powerful that it was engraven on gold for all to remember for all time. You see, there came a man among the Nephites named Sherem. He was anti-Christ. He went about preaching among the people that there should be…
Cross Yourself
Broadcast Date: June 07, 2026
I don’t like it, but today I need to tell the story of a terrible tragedy that could have been avoided.
King David walked up onto his roof one evening, presumably to refresh himself with the cool evening breezes that blew through Jerusalem. As he looked down, he saw a very beautiful woman bathing herself in a private courtyard below. He stood, and he watched. Then,…
Haircuts and Hugs
Broadcast Date: June 07, 2026
You remember that the Savior said, “Except ye…become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven”? (Matthew 18:3)
That statement is true. So why are we trying so hard to get our children to grow up? From them we can learn much of what manner of men and women we ought to be – as illustrated:
I wanted a haircut. So my wife and daughters gathered…
