758. Ben Lieske singing "Questa o quella" from the opera Rigoletto



This is an extra today!  I have another entry I will also do today.  The concert in the St. George Tabernacle on June 30, 2013, was truly enjoyable, and I will post other numbers in the future.

614. The classic story "The Currant Bush" by Elder Hugh B. Brown, counselor to Pres. David O. McKay

Image
The Currant Bush by Elder Hugh B. Brown  (1883-1975) of the Council of the Twelve  Stories from General Authorities.  (From the New Era) Over the years our General Authorities have recounted stories that have touched the hearts of their listeners and changed behavior. Many of these stirring examples come from their own lives or from the lives of friends and acquaintances. All ring as true today as when first recounted.  This story of the Currant Bush is well known.  Elder Hugh B. Brown was a noted Apostle, and a counselor to President David O. McKay.  It is fascinating to put his name in "Google" and read about his interesting and amazing life.  This story can inspire you when you are having problems .   Elder Hugh B.

412. My 2nd great grandmother, a true pioneer! Caroline Farozine Skeen Butler. Amazing experiences!

Image
Last night we went to a very inspiring lecture in the St. George Tabernacle by Glen Rawson.  He was a Seminary teacher for 30 years, and now is an LDS tour guide, and talks often in various places.  He told several inspiring and touching stories about pioneer women, and their trials, and how strong they were.  He looked at our audience, and said to us, "You folks in this audience come from strong stock!"  I truly felt what he was saying, and decided to repost two posts that I have done before, about one of my great-greatgrandmothers, Carolyn Farozine Skeen Butler.  I have several wonderful pioneer stories about my great grandmothers, and will probably repost some in the next few days.

20. Spiritual Preparedness, talk by Pres. Henry B. Eyring, Oct. 2005

Image
    We all have just enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday.  In order to have had a successful Thanksgiving dinner, and enjoy family members, we needed to prepare beforehand.  The preparation helped make it a pleasant holiday, with lots of good family memories.   The preparation we make to truly follow and be committed to living the Gospel, takes even more preparation.  It takes daily thought, and committing ourselves to living in the way that will bring us eternal happiness.  I enjoyed Pres. Henry Eyring's talk, in October Conference 2005.  I have included parts of it here.  The entire talk can be read at:  www.lds.org -- and search for the title.   PREVIOUS NEXT Spiritual Preparedness: Start Early and Be Steady HENRY B.
