Parables Read from Multiple Perspectives
When I encounter a hardship in my life, I benefit from turning to the scriptures for comfort and guidance. In the second half of my life, I found myself looking at parables from multiple viewpoints. Narratives afford that type of richness. They can speak to us in complex and nuanced ways. The Prodigal Son For...

Conference Sisters Speak
It’s October – that time when we think about pumpkins and goblins … and General Conference. In a different order perhaps? This month I decided to pull some treats out of the proverbial goodie bag of Conference addresses and see what gems our sisters at the podium had to say. In the Saturday morning session...

Return and report: My River Trip
Last month I was nervous about my 5 day trip Salmon River trip in August. Since it was something scheduled many months ahead, I had a long time to fret about my inadequacies, the gaps I have in my knowledge base, and the utter foreignness of the undertaking. Let me tell you how it unfolded....

A Time to Save, A Time to Toss

Free-Range Saint
As we read the four gospels of the New Testament, we observe Jesus issuing a call to people who subsequently must work out what it means to be a follower of Christ. There were no buildings with set floor plans, no organization charts, no handbook, and no elaborate leadership hierarchy. The saints of Galilee met...
