Quick Thoughts on Noah and the Flood and the Ark and the Dove

Last updated on: February 4, 2022 at 12:29 pm By Delisa Hargrove

What are your takeaways from the story of Noah and the flood and the ark and the dove? The story is found in Genesis 6-9. For me, among other things, the story of Noah’s ark includes a story of prophecy, a story of agency, and a story of consequence. I’m amazed that Noah obediently built the ark. I wonder how Noah’s family and the animals reacted as water immersed the ark. The ark crew absolutely put their trust in the... Read more

Look Forward to His Coming with Faith and Hope

Last updated on: February 1, 2022 at 7:41 am By Delisa Hargrove

The topic of Jesus Christ’s Second Coming has fascinated my mind and guided my scripture study since my childhood family’s Sunday ask-whatever-questions-you-have gospel discussions. I really enjoyed these thoughts by Jessie Brown as she shared some simple and always timely ways to “prepare and look forward to His coming with faith and hope.” From Jessie Brown ~ Look Forward to His coming with Faith and Hope A month before Christmas, my daughter Ellie asked me if Jesus would come again...

Facsimile 3 and Progression’s Path

Last updated on: January 31, 2022 at 8:02 pm By Delisa Hargrove

During a message on Love from the Sunday pulpit, an instructive thought flashed through my mind. I immediately turned to Fascimile 3 in the Pearl of Great Price to continue the lesson. The initial thought impressed that each figure depicted my hoped-for path of ultimate salvation. Without detracting from Joseph Smith’s explanation or proffering some intended wide-spread application, I’ll share how the Spirit “likened” Facsimile 3 to me. To understand what I learned, I share the applicable portions from the... Read more

Invocation and Benediction

Last updated on: November 18, 2021 at 12:43 pm By Delisa Hargrove

The beloved hymn “O My Father” by Eliza R. Snow was originally called “My Father in Heaven” or “Invocation, or The Eternal Father and Mother.” While studying Eliza’s poem, I fixated on her title “Invocation, or The Eternal Father and Mother.” “Invocation, or” fascinated me. Why did she choose those words? To me, invocation meant prayer, and specifically a prayer given at the beginning of a worship service or meeting. A quick Google search to understand additional meanings of Invocation invited... Read more

Faith and the Works of Faith Open the Door to Hope

Last updated on: November 12, 2021 at 8:28 am By Delisa Hargrove

Until recently, for me, faith, hope, and charity were oft-repeated though relatively abstract concepts. I believed and experienced faith as a principle of action and power. Charity, the least ambiguous in my mind, represented the pure love of Christ. I’ve felt of His love and grace so equated charity to a magnified version of my experiences. Hope seemed to vacillate between the faith and charity. Scriptures about hope seemed to summarize both faith and charity, so hope formed some sort... Read more

Sunday Morning Walks: Finding Peace

Last updated on: November 6, 2021 at 5:17 am By Delisa Hargrove

Several years ago my brother Daylen Bushman began a habit of Sunday morning walks that resulted in deep inner peace. This simple intentional act yields a bountiful harvest for him, and I wanted to share his thoughts with you. Peace by Daylen Bushman I love Sunday mornings. For the past several years, I have been waking up early on Sunday mornings to go for an hour-long walk. I am a pretty fast walker and typically cover four miles during my... Read more

Last updated on: October 27, 2021 at 6:14 am By Delisa Hargrove

More demands on my time than ever before came at the exact same time and in ways I couldn’t believe. I felt overwhelmed and needed to calm my blood pressure so I went to the Book of Mormon to find refuge for a few moments, expecting to then face the challenges with better clarity. I didn’t care where I read and happened to turn to 1 Nephi 1. I started reading, slowly and purposefully, so I could calm my runaway... Read more

Putting Off the Natural Man

Last updated on: October 22, 2021 at 12:35 pm By Delisa Hargrove

On a recent morning walk, while listening to an inspiring audiobook about being a true disciple of Jesus Christ, a new thought trickled through my mind and heart: The Savior’s atonement heals sins, weaknesses, sorrows, and every wound of mortality. Sins, weaknesses, sorrows, and wounds of mortality are all part of the natural man. Cast off all of them. I literally stopped in my tracks and turned off my audiobook. “What?” I asked. Startled, I needed more information. Mosiah 3:19... Read more

Accessing the Power of God During Unprecedented Times

Last updated on: October 4, 2021 at 11:23 am By Delisa Hargrove

How do you access the power of God during unprecedented times? President Russell M. Nelson warned that in coming days, we will need to know how to access God’s power. In like manner, it is now time that each of us implements extraordinary measures, perhaps measures we have never taken before to strengthen our personal, spiritual foundations. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. My dear brothers and sisters, these are the latter days. If you and I are to withstand the... Read more

Doctrine and Covenants 109: In His Name

Last updated on: September 30, 2021 at 7:45 am By Delisa Hargrove

Names have always mattered to me, probably because my siblings and I have unique names that are regularly mispronounced. I remember learning that biblical names meant something and looking up their meanings frequently in the Bible Dictionary. Especially when names changed, the meanings caught my attention. For example, Abram means The Father is Exalted. His name was changed to Abraham which means father of a multitude, father lifted up. While both names seem to have the same meaning, entering into the new and everlasting... Read more
