A youthful experience before the bar of justice

I’ve already told this story here before, but I’m not feeling well and I’m very tired, and I thought that I could maybe smooth out the retelling of it for eventual inclusion in my personal history: I received my California driver’s license when I was sixteen, and I graduated from high school when I was seventeen. Between those two events, I managed to garner two driving tickets. In the wake of the first ticket, my license was... Read more

Because of illness, my wife and I and one of our sons were unable to participate in the funeral of my brother’s widow this morning in San Gabriel, California. That saddens me greatly. I would deeply like to have been there. However, we were able to watch the services via the modern and, to my mind, much under-appreciated miracle of Zoom. I was pleased at what was said; I thought that the remarks that were given nicely captured... Read more

First, though, a thought about earthquakes and divine providence. I submitted this column to Meridian way back on 27 February, and I had to re-read it this morning to see whether I still agreed with it. (I do.) I’m grateful that it has finally appeared: “A Purpose in Life’s Earthquakes” No other planet in our solar system has plate tectonics, which seems to be unique to Earth. Other planets—exoplanets—revolving around other stars may possess similar geology but, if... Read more

Mann tracht un Gott lacht is an old Yiddish proverb that means “Man Plans and God Laughs.” I was scheduled to be down in southern California by about now. I was to speak at my sister-in-law’s funeral in San Gabriel on Friday and then, thereafter, to visit with people in Santa Barbara on Saturday and to speak two or three times there in Santa Barbara on Sunday. Alas, though, my house has been a den of illness over... Read more

I spoke for about twenty minutes early this afternoon to members of the Utah Valley Interfaith Association and representatives of local government and other groups in connection with the full-size model of the ancient Israelite tabernacle that is currently located there. The model, which is open for free tours, stands adjacent to the church at 1230 South 500 East. Here is a rough text of what I had to say this afternoon. It’s been a long day —... Read more

On Being “Perfect” (Part Two)

This post, which focuses again on the famous passage in Matthew 5:48 (in the King James Version, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect”), is a continuation of “On Being ‘Perfect’ (Part One),” which went up on 2 April 2023. In our effort to understand Matthew 5:48, we should certainly not ignore the verse’s context. That is an all-too-common error in the explication and deployment of quotations from the Bible;...

I spent about 5.5 hours today — minus a ten-minute break! — recording an interview with Stephen Murphy for his Mormonism with the Murph podcast. Brother Murphy is based in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. He tells me that the recorded material, which will be divided into (at least) two parts, will likely go up in about three weeks. As the sheer length of it might perhaps suggest to you, it was a wide-ranging conversation. “The Teachings... Read more

They have been in the MTC lately and will soon begin eighteen months as a Church service couple in Egypt. She was a participant in an intensive Arabic program that I led, quite poorly, for BYU in Jerusalem back in the first half of (gulp!)... Read more
