This Week - March 01, 2026

If I Lose My Way

Broadcast Date: March 01, 2026
If the Lord delights in the song of the heart, then He must equally delight in the heart that writes the song. Well, this is the story of an inspired song. A few years ago, a friend of mine, Fay, was a sad and lonely college student – lost in the vastness of a huge university. Fay is also a songwriter. One day a song that she had…

Joseph of Egypt

Broadcast Date: March 01, 2026
I’ve heard it said and I believe it, “It’s better to be trusted than loved.” (David O. McKay) Love may be freely given, but ‘trust’ has to be earned. When we trust the Lord, He can save us. When the Lord can trust us, He can use us. You remember Joseph was sold into Egypt by his brothers. Their cruelty and lies brought unspeakable grief…

Telephone Wire

Broadcast Date: March 01, 2026
Not long ago while doing some remodel work, I – I accidentally cut my telephone wire. It had to be repaired. But the problem was that the area was too small for me to get into it. I couldn’t fit. So I asked my twelve-year-old daughter if she wanted to learn to wire a telephone. She gave me that look like, “Right, Dad!” but dubiously…

The Power of His Word

Broadcast Date: March 01, 2026
Talk, talk, and more talk! We live in a world these days where problems seemed to be solved by throwing words at them, and it doesn’t seem to be working. With all this noise, wouldn’t it be wonderful to hear a word these days that has real power? One Sabbath Day in Capernaum Jesus went to church and He taught. The people were astonished…

Kind Words

Broadcast Date: March 01, 2026
You know, sometimes it’s not what you say to people; it’s how you say it. When Jerry was just a teenager he got into an argument one day with his father. Well, that night as he sat in his room sulking, his mother came down to talk to him. As they talked, Jerry realized he had judged his father wrongly and that he had acted…

The Paradox of Joy

Broadcast Date: February 22, 2026
“…men are, that they might have joy.” (2 Nephi 2:25) Our Heavenly Father gave us life that we might find joy. All that He does is to lead us to joy. It’s our consummate purpose in life and in eternity. Ironically now, it’s in the obtaining of joy where saints and sinners so radically diverge. While a sinner will seek joy for himself by helping himself, a saint will…

Jacob and Esau

Broadcast Date: February 22, 2026
You know to me, one of the greatest mistakes that we mortals make is giving up what we want most forever for what we think we have to have now, as illustrated by this story. Even in the womb these two brothers were rivals, struggling and fighting against each other to the dismay and the discomfort of their mother.(*1) And in birth, well they were still battling for…

Kassie's Soap

Broadcast Date: February 22, 2026
To all those of you who are listening, who think that there’s nothing special about you, that you are common, ordinary, garden variety, and vanilla, I have something to say – something about your uniqueness. The other day I was teaching a college institute class. It was a new semester, and I asked the class members to share their name and something unique about them…

Martin's Cove

Broadcast Date: February 22, 2026
The plucky little ATV growled along the trail chewing through the crusted snow. We had left the shelter of the ranch house and went deeper into the Wyoming sage. It was cold, somewhere below freezing.We traveled over the trail for a couple of miles. Then we parked the vehicle and walked the remaining yards to the top of the hill. We stood looking out over a beautiful…

The Mountain of Nephi

Broadcast Date: February 22, 2026
You know, studying the scriptures is enlightening and life-changing in and of itself, but discovering their subtle patterns within them, well that takes us to another level of meaning that is all together thrilling and revealing! For example: Lehi taught his family of his vision of the Tree of Life. While Laman and Lemuel wondered and argued over what the vision…
