Creating a Beautiful Mosaic | Michelle Hodge

Last updated on: September 12, 2026 at 1:44 pm By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

I am Michelle Hodge. My husband and I moved to Lubbock three and a half years ago so we could live closer to a temple. I grew up in upstate New York, about two hours from Palmyra, where Joseph Smith lived, and in my youth I had the opportunity to visit the Sacred Grove and the Hill Cumorah frequently. These experiences helped me form a strong testimony of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ from a young age.... Read more

God, I’m for You | Valeska M. Bushman

Last updated on: September 2, 2026 at 7:28 am By Delisa Hargrove

My niece Valeska is preparing to serve an 18-month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Fresno, California area. She recently shared thoughts about fundamentally switching to a “God, I’m for You” mindset. Her thoughts apply widely to everyone seeking to serve Jesus Christ in any capacity and deepen their relationship with him. God, I’m for You | Valeska M.

The Character of God, Enos, & The Family Proclamation

Last updated on: August 10, 2026 at 1:33 pm By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

After years of being asked to study The Family: A Proclamation to the World, I realized that this proclamation not only instructed my mortal family relationships but also taught me about the characteristics of my Heavenly Parents and family. It provided tangible glimpses into the character of God. The Character of God Joseph Smith taught that God “looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regard” and that “if men do not comprehend the... Read more

Dancing on the 15th of Av

Last updated on: July 29, 2026 at 4:39 pm By Delisa Hargrove

On the Hebrew calendar, today is the 15th of Av. That reminded me of an entry I found in the Talmud that reminded me of what is (for me) a troublesome/annoying story in the Book of Mormon when wicked priests kidnapped women for wives. Mosiah 20:1 Now there was a place in Shemlon where the daughters of the Lamanites did gather themselves together to sing, and to dance, and to make themselves merry. 2 And it came to pass that there was one day...

Could Abinadi Have Been a Young Adult?

I think I’ve mentioned how I’ve been deconstructing my scriptural assumptions. I realized that many of my assumptions come from images created by others that depict their versions of scriptural scenes. And while I appreciate the artists’ efforts, I realize that they’re creating through their frame of reference, and I’m not convinced they’re always accurate. One day, while sitting in an endowment session pondering a gospel question I had, an unusual scene came to mind in response. I saw this... Read more

How the Old Testament Tax Collector Adoram Typifies Christ

Last updated on: July 6, 2026 at 7:19 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

I decided to look for direct references to Jesus Christ’s ministry as I read through the Old Testament this time. Some examples include the well-known ways prophets and miracles are a type of Christ—such as the sacrifice of Isaac representing Jesus’ sacrifice. As I read about David’s kingdom splintering after Solomon’s death, two verses caught my attention. When Solomon’s son Rehoboam promised to increase his subjects’ taxation and burdens, all of his people except for the tribes of Judah and... Read more

Vow for Healing

Last updated on: June 23, 2026 at 8:47 am By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

While doing some research for a family history project, I came across this journal entry by my great-great-grandfather, John Bushman. It struck me because, while petitioning for a miraculous healing, I once vowed a vow as well, which culminated in the Lord blessing me according to my vow. I appreciated the opportunity to reflect on the miraculous healings in both our lives and on the eagerness I feel as I anticipate the Lord’s continued covenant blessings. From John Bushman’s Diary...

The Author of Salvation or Destruction

Last updated on: June 16, 2026 at 6:58 am By Delisa Hargrove

One name of Jesus Christ that always catches my attention is Author. Considering Jesus the “author and finisher of [my] faith” has always meant that He is the “originator or creator of an original work;” that original work being my reason and purpose for faith and salvation. Author of Destruction While reading Helaman 8:28 last week, I really honed in on Gadianton and the evil one also being authors, but of destruction. Helaman 8:28 And behold, they both belong to...

As my congregation’s music coordinator, I select the hymns for Sunday’s Sacrament Meetings. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the release of a new hymnal in 2027 and, in anticipation of that, releases new hymns every three or four months. I schedule our congregation to sing a new hymn as the opening song each Sunday. We typically sing the new songs in numerical order, but I have reordered songs when I felt a song’s message fit better... Read more

Thoughts on a Relationship with Jesus Christ | Sol Wylie

I’m a music guy. And I like to buy a lot of my music gear from a website called Sweetwater. Now, what’s different about Sweetwater compared to every other gear marketplace, like Reverb, is that Sweetwater assigns a Sales Engineer to you when you create an account. My guy’s name is Conner. He’s there mostly for whenever I end up breaking something and need some help, or if I need to return something. But a couple of months ago, something... Read more
