Mother in Zion: What Does It Mean to You?

Last updated on: May 8, 2021 at 5:21 pm By Delisa Hargrove

What does the term “Mother in Zion” mean to you? How do you see that term being applied to women? Curious how others would respond, I posed that question to women from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Following are their responses, in alphabetical order. I loved their diversity of expression and application and also how all the comments tied together. Mother in Zion — What Does It Mean and How Is It Applied? Beverly: I do love the story... Read more

Make Time to Experience Him: Ye Cannot See Me (Doctrine & Covenants 38:7)

Last updated on: April 14, 2021 at 12:25 pm By Delisa Hargrove

But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst and ye cannot see me; (Doctrine and Covenants 38:7.) How would it be to find the Messiah you worship and adore suddenly in your presence? How would it be to have Jesus approach your fishing boat and call you to follow Him? Or to have Him open the scriptures to your mind as you walked along a road? Or to have Him visit you in your home... Read more

Salt Lake Temple Frescoes: Thank You & Goodbye

Last updated on: March 21, 2021 at 1:22 pm By Delisa Hargrove

The night I heard about the Salt Lake Temple’s frescoes being removed during the temple’s renovation I laid awake carefully reviewing each fresco in my mind. I’ve spent hours studying them during endowment sessions or while working in the temple. My most memorable interaction with the frescoes happened during a session. Anthony and I had just decided to move back to Hawaii from Salt Lake City. He felt so giddy about the decision. And while I felt happy to return... Read more

How the Aaronic Priesthood Applies to Me, a 40-something Woman

Last updated on: February 23, 2021 at 12:11 pm By Delisa Hargrove

How does the Aaronic Priesthood apply to you? Finding out if, and how, the Aaronic Priesthood applied to me was an awesome road of discovery. One of my favorite passages of scripture is Oliver Cowdery’s footnote at the end of Joseph Smith-History. Oliver’s words, full of imagery, transport my mind to Harmony, Pennsylvania, and the banks of the Susquehanna River. “These were days never to be forgotten—to sit under the sound of a voice dictated by the inspiration of heaven,...

A Home-Based MTC Sneak Peek

Last updated on: December 28, 2020 at 2:55 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Have you wondered about the ins and outs of Online and Home-based MTC (Missionary Training Center)? We come from a long line of missionaries in our family, but my nephew, Elder Austin Bushman, is the first to experience a home-based MTC. Elder Bushman received a call to serve in Spain and to begin his mission experience at a home-based MTC. He has since been reassigned to serve in the Dallas area until/if/when he can travel to Spain as a missionary.... Read more

The Nativity Story from The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ

Last updated on: December 24, 2020 at 9:03 am By Delisa Hargrove

I love nativity stories. They help me think more broadly about the circumstances of Jesus Christ’s birth. This nativity story from The first Gospel of the INFANCY of JESUS CHRIST offers an apocryphal look at the Savior’s birth. From The first Gospel of the INFANCY of JESUS CHRIST 4 ¶ In the three hundred and ninth year of the æra of Alexander, Augustus published a decree that all persons should go to be taxed in their own country. 5 Joseph...

Confounded and Mixed in Moroni 10:31

Last updated on: December 18, 2020 at 5:44 pm By Delisa Hargrove

My friend Roxy Kimokeo and I share notes on things we learn during our scripture study. She sent me her findings on “confounded” in Moroni 10:31. She refers to a post called “In” in Moroni 7 that I posted last week. “Confounded” and “Mixed” by Roxy Kimokeo Today in my studies one of the things that caught my attention was in Moroni 10:31.

Peaceable Followers of Christ: Moroni 7

Last updated on: November 6, 2021 at 5:14 am By Delisa Hargrove

The only time the phrase “peaceable followers of Christ” is used in the entire canon of scripture is in Moroni 7:3! Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven. And the only two times the word “peaceable” is used in the Book of Mormon is in Moroni... Read more

“In” in Moroni 7

Last updated on: December 10, 2020 at 10:47 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I have been transfixed by the word “in” in scripture since pondering the meaning of “in” in Doctrine and Covenants 88. Here are a few verses to illustrate verses containing “in.” He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth; Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made. As also... Read more
