  FAMOUS LATTER-DAY SAINTS The Latter-day Saint who played the voice of God + other Church connections to ‘The Ten Commandments’ April 07, 2022 08:00 AM MDT Twitter Pinterest Email Print Vox.com Every Easter season, I anxiously anticipate when the classic, Academy Award-winning, biblically epic movie  The Ten Commandments  begins to play on TV stations around the world. Nominated for seven Academy Awards,  The Ten Commandments  was the most expensive film ever made at the time of its release. The number of people involved in creating the movie is mind-boggling, and the set for the film was so elaborate, large, and expensive to move that producer, director, and narrator Cecil B. DeMille ordered it buried so a rival filmmaker could not use the set. Truly,  The Ten Commandments  is a movie that is unrivaled in its grandeur and impact. But did you know there are several Latter-day Saint connections to this iconic film? Latter-day Saint Artist Nominate...

   I'm posting more articles today, as they are pertinent today, and all good! Take your choice!  This isn't about the political situation, but very heart-warming! Will We Have Our Pets in Heaven? By  Joni Hilton  · October 28, 2020 When it comes to animals, I’m a pushover. Every dog and cat I’ve ever had has been spoiled rotten, but every one of them has had a happy personality along with loyalty and devotion (well, as much as a cat can muster). It pains me to kill spiders and insects, and I try to relocate them outside. I cannot watch dog or horse movies because I know I’ll be sobbing by the end. If a detective movie shows a cat wandering through the home of a murder victim, I forget all about the victim and my concern shifts to who will now care for the cat. But my most telling confession is that when our cat kills a mouse or bird, I pray that Heavenly Father will make the prey forget how it died, and just help it have a happy reunion with its relatives beyon...

These beautiful thoughts from Latter Day Light really help us feel the beauty and importance of this Easter Season!  I am more grateful than I have words for, that Jesus Christ died for each of us, and that we can repent and be forgiven, and through the Atonement be made clean again! Last night Julie (my daughter-in-law) and I went to a very beautiful and inspiring musical play "Savior Of The World".  It told the story of Jesus' birth, from Elizabeth and Zacharias to the crucifixion, and was beautifully done by the Centerville North Stake.  It  certainly will be a testimony builder for the 100 or more young people in it, plus adults!
