Richard G. Scott gave a wonderful talk about the principles of prayer in General Conference. I’m not quite sure how I missed it or what I was doing at the time, but almost three decades later I stumbled across his talk and it now speaks to me. Hopefully my efforts...

The funny thing about The Princess Bride is I feel like I have seen it a lot recently but when I actually sat down to watch it for this review I realized it had been many years. It’s just such a popular film and so often quoted that it kind of has a life of its own. I...

There’s a song titled “Time” by Chantal Kreviazuk that is one of my favorites. It’s so well written and really speaks about the importance of time. I love the message and I suggest you all to give it a listen when you can. That’s what I...

Before arriving in Israel, we mapped our travel plans. From Jerusalem, we planned to go north to the Sea of Galilee. I thought it might be better to avoid driving in the occupied West Bank, so planned to drive way out of the way east and then head north to Galilee. I...

It came to my attention that scattered throughout the scriptures are references to the “duty of man.” Since the prophets don’t toss words around lightly, I decided to look into our duty. What is a duty? Do we really have a duty? To whom do we owe a duty? If we really...

There is perhaps no word that is more casually thrown around than ‘classic’ in the world of movies. In fact, my beloved Disney claims all of their animated films are ‘Disney Classics’. But occasionally there will be a movie that has a near universal agreement that...
