Diving into Doctrine and Covenants 25:1-7

Last updated on: March 26, 2020 at 11:07 pm By Delisa Hargrove

President Russell M. Nelson invited us to “study prayerfully section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants and discover what the Holy Ghost will teach you. Your personal spiritual endeavor will bring you joy as you gain, understand, and use the power with which you have been endowed.” I’ve studied this section several times since President Nelson’s challenge. This time around I decided to dive into the meanings of words to see if I could expand my understanding. Doctrine and Covenants 25:1 Hearken unto the voice... Read more

Finding Our New Normal During the Coronavirus

Last updated on: March 19, 2020 at 9:10 pm By Delisa Hargrove

How are you adjusting to this new normal? I stare out the window watching a lizard lounging on patio furniture in front of my growing baby pineapple. The very slight breeze permeates calm throughout our outdoor space and through my open window. In a flash, the lizard turns to face the other direction. The pineapple reaches towards a sun vaguely peeking through the clouds. My husband sits nearby diligently working on his laptop to keep business moving along safely for... Read more

Facing the Temporary Temple Closure

Last updated on: March 24, 2020 at 1:45 pm By Delisa Hargrove

The temporary temple closure of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints closes temples to general temple service on Monday 3/16/2020. I’ve felt a flood of emotions as I spent the better part of the past two days worshiping in the Lord’s sacred house. Thursday Before Temple Closure I’d just finished a session with friends visiting from Texas when I saw the news that Church meetings were temporarily suspended while still parked in the temple parking lot. As I... Read more

2020 General Conference: God Has a Vision for Each of Us in Our Own Space

Last updated on: March 24, 2020 at 1:45 pm By Delisa Hargrove

This morning as I read the Church’s announcement that general conference will be technologically distributed with no audience in the Conference Center this year, I thought, “God has a vision for each of us in our own homes!” I thought of my post A Correlation Between the Coronavirus and the First Vision and how the virus was proving to be so distractionary. Then I settled in to read the 1832 account of the First Vision again. Entering the Grove of Trees... Read more

A Correlation Between the Coronavirus and the First Vision

Last updated on: March 11, 2020 at 8:56 am By Delisa Hargrove

As we draw closer to April 2020 General Conference, my excitement is off the charts. What will happen during conference? Am I ready to receive what is promised by a prophet of God and available from heaven? The recent coronavirus outbreak and general panic brought new depth to my preparatory study. Why? I’ll explain that in a minute. But just as a reminder, or background, let me start from the beginning of the thought process and quickly get to the... Read more

Uncovering Adam-ondi-Ahman

Last updated on: March 4, 2020 at 7:24 am By Delisa Hargrove

I stood on a green bluff, taking in the rolling fields of grass and vibrant trees, a quiet summer breeze stirring the air. I saw foliage as far as I could see. I wondered what untold stories unfolded in that beautiful place. Some of its oldest stories are my stories, too. Adam-ondi-Ahman is a valley, a city, and a temple site. In this place, Adam and Eve offered sacrifices, Adam blessed their posterity and the Lord appeared to them! Modern... Read more

Read this very interesting series of prophecies of the People of the Seventh Fire, the Anishinabeg people, and found them fascinating. Hope you enjoy them, too.

God Prepares The Way to Keep His Commandments

Last updated on: February 18, 2020 at 12:21 pm By Delisa Hargrove

Do you know that the Lord prepares a way for us to keep His commandments? My brother Donovan Bushman shared ways Nephi testified that the Lord prepared and then enabled his family to keep His commandments as they traveled in the wilderness. These thoughts provide a great reminder that the Lord is mightier than all of our challenges and weaknesses and through Him, we can accomplish all the things He’s asked us to do. From Donovan Bushman I really enjoy... Read more

William Huntington Raised From the Dead

Last updated on: February 15, 2020 at 7:09 pm By Delisa Hargrove

I’ve recently been reviewing miracles performed and witnessed in the primitive church with latter-day miracles. The Savior promised His followers that true disciples would do the things He did. They did! And do those miraculous signs follow those that believe today? They do! I found this account of William Huntington being raised from the dead by Joseph Smith and two others who administered to him. From the writings of Levi Curtis About the month of August, 1856, William D. Huntington... Read more

The Miracle Story of Francisco and God’s Tender Mercy

Last updated on: February 14, 2020 at 6:03 am By Delisa Hargrove

Elder Liam Greene serves in the Washington Vancouver Spanish Speaking Mission. His dear grandmother, Paula Sorenson, recently passed away suddenly. She was a powerful influence in Elder Greene’s life. In his latest weekly email, he shared some of the Lord’s tender mercies that comforted him during such a difficult time away from home. As part of those tender mercies, he shared Francisco’s miracle story. I read in awe at the sacrifices Francisco made because the Gospel is true. Am I... Read more
