Bear One-Another’s Burdens

This week in our priesthood group meeting, we had an excellent discussion about Alma’s charge in Mosiah 18:8 to:”…bear one another's burdens, that they may be light.”

Thoughts on Immortality

Recently, my wife and I rode through the cemetery past her parents’ graves, and as we drove around and past the graves of others, including President Lorenzo Snow, my mind turned to the people who are interred there. I thought about them living and loving, and earning a living, about their joys and sorrows, about their children and the legacy they might have left. Some folks had small stones, and some were considerably bigger and more ostentatious than President Snow’s stone. I wondered if their stone represented the only heritage they had to offer those left behind.

LO, WO, O

Often, there are interesting patterns in the scriptures. Recently, I was watching one of the great programs on BYUTV where three or four BYU religious scholars sit together and discuss certain passages of scripture. This particular program dealt with 2 Nephi Chapter 9. One of the men, (lamentably, I do not recall his name) suggested that the chapter had a lot of “WOs” and “Os” in it. He said that the WOs (wo unto…) identified things that take us away from the Lord, and that the Os (O the wisdom of God) identified things that bring us closer to the Lord.
