Thoughts and stories, by Pal

I really enjoy receiving these every day in my e mails! September 2, 2016 Family SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY   Mosiah 4:14-15 " And ye will not suffer your children that they go hungry, or naked; neither will ye suffer that they transgress the laws of God, and fight and quarrel one with another, and serve the devil, who is the master of sin, or who is the evil spirit which hath been spoken of by our fathers, he being an enemy to all righteousness.  But ye will teach them to walk in the ways of truth and soberness; ye will teach them to love one another, and to serve one another.

We don't know just what will happen with Wayne, my husband, whom I've mentioned on this blog before.  His esophag...

This post may seem longer, but I included the footnotes, in case someone would want to know where Larry Barkdull gets his quotes.  Larry is a good friend of mine, and I truly  value his insight and research on this important subject.   This is in Meridian Magazine, December 9, 2014. LINE UPON LINE If your Child doesn’t come back to the Gospel in this life—Are they lost? By Larry Barkdull  · December 9, 2014 We can suffer a very long time with our wayward children. Despite our best efforts, one of our children might pass away having never abandoned his wayward ways. Is he lost? Have we failed? Not necessarily. The Lord anticipated this eventuality. To the grieving Martha, Jesus explained that the power of redemption transcends this life. The Lord’s power of redemption can reach deep within the world of spirits, offer the plan of salvation, and snatch a now-repentant, believing soul from the jaws of hell. Consider the deeper meaning of the Lord’s w...
