This Week - June 30, 2024
As a Child
Broadcast Date: June 30, 2024
You know, it seems an inherent part of human nature to want to be, and to know, who’s number one – the number one team, the number one song, the number one movie, number one, number one, etc. We are obsessed with number one and who’s the greatest. But what I want to know, and I think you too, is: If heaven is casting their votes for…
Solomon and His Wisdom
Broadcast Date: June 30, 2024
It seems altogether fitting at this patriotic season for me to tell you a story of one of the most successful governments in history and of the man who established it.Solomon came to power when he was “…young and tender...” (*1) David the king chose him as his successor and the Lord ratified that choice. (*2) Under the reign of Solomon…
The Miracle of Independence
Broadcast Date: June 30, 2024
In 1789 as he became our nation’s first president, George Washington said the following:“No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been…
The Star-Spangled Banner
Broadcast Date: June 30, 2024
August 24th, 1814, Washington D.C.: The capitol buildings of the United States of America burned so brightly that the citizens of Baltimore 40 miles away could see them. In horror they watched the city burn, and knew the British would come there next.War between the United States and England began in June of 1812. Fresh from the defeat…
The Declaration of Independence
Broadcast Date: June 30, 2024
You know, I believe it is altogether fitting, considering what sacred event is being commemorated this week, that we quote the following, dated July 4th, 1776:“WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of…

Follow Me
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
May I say, and give it as an opinion, that all of us follow someone, whether we know it or not.I recall some time ago being in the mountains on a memorable three-day adventure. The last leg of that ‘adventure,’ however, became a marathon twelve-hour hike back to civilization. Already worn down and tired from two days in the mountains, the hike became an ordeal,…
The Battle of the Bulls
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
It is when we are put to the test that we discover our faith and courage, and often that comes all of a sudden. For example:It was near the San Pedro River in Southern Arizona that on December 11th, 1946 that a significant event occurred in the history of the Mormon Battalion.The men were camped there along the river, and for a change, they had adequate water and…
David O. McKay and the Volcano
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
In 1921, David and a group of friends decided one evening while visiting in Hawaii that they wanted to see the Kilauea Volcano. So, together ten of them drove to the site of the then-very-active volcano. They stood on the rim and watched molten lava churning and boiling some 100 feet below.It was late in the evening and a stiff cold wind blowing down from Mauna Loa…
Mosiah's Gift
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
This is that sacred and essential time of year when we remember our freedom, and how it was obtained. We remember with deep emotion those who sacrificed, fought, and died to preserve our liberty. We remember with fondness those great men and women who dared in a time to turn their backs on the rule of kings, and gamble their future on the rule of law. But would it…
Miracle of Translation
Broadcast Date: June 23, 2024
Our God is a God of Miracles as this story illustrates.Joseph Smith was only 22 years-old in September of 1827, when he obtained the Gold Plates. He was charged to translate, but in the area of Palmyra, New York, there was not peace sufficient to do so. So in December of 1827, he moved to Harmony, Pennsylvania where he “commenced copying the characters off the…

- Carl Watkins
"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward."
- Doctrine and Covenants 58:26-28
