If you’re an NFL fan, like I am, you’ve probably been amazed by the turnaround of the Denver Broncos season since their evangelical Quarterback, Tim Tebow began starting for them. Watching him for most of a football game is painful. He misses passes constantly, hardly converts on 3rd downs, and overthrows his wide-receivers. On paper [...]

Blessings Received after Trials
Posted in Depression and Anxiety, Faith, Patience on October 6, 2011 | 1 Comment »
While preparing to teach this week’s Sunday School lesson in 2 Corinthians, I came across a talk given by Paul Johnson, one of the Mormon Seventy, entitled “More Than Conquerors Through Him that Loved Us“. There were a few lines in the talk that stood out to me, which I will quote: At times it [...]
Remembering 9/11: One Nation Under God
Posted in Faith, God on September 11, 2011 | 7 Comments »
Today I became somewhat reminiscant of my thoughts and feelings 10 years ago during the tragic events of 9/11. At the time, I worked for the grounds crew at BYU and rather than taking the lawn mowers out that morning, we huddled around the radio and heard the tragic news of the airplanes crashing into [...]
Giving God Glory while Battling Cancer

As we were getting ready to celebrate the new year this evening, my wife showed me a story from her cousin’s roomate that touched me and I thought it was appropriate to share. It is a story of a young couple who chose to get married despite the fact the young bride is struggling with [...]
Lessons Learned from my Experience Dressing as a Homeless Man
Posted in Christianity, Faith on May 16, 2010 | 21 Comments »
It was about 5:45 p.m. on a friday evening as I drove my car a few blocks away from the food bank and parked it ambiguously. I hadn’t showered for two days and had about 5 days of facial hair growth as I stepped out onto the street and made my way towards the Salvation [...]
Man Led by the Lord to find Missing Girl in a Swamp
Posted in Faith on April 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
One time, when I was a little guy I took my little brothers and sisters with me into a forest. After a few hours, when we tried to turn around and return home and the sun was starting to set, I realized we were lost. I was 9, my brother was 7 and my sister [...]
Elder Joseph Tippett’s Incredible Survival of Alaska Plane Crash
Posted in Faith, Prayer on October 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My Grandfather recently passed down a lot of the books in his library and one of the books I picked up is entitled “LDS Adventure Stories” by Preston Nibley. One of the stories I read tonight was one of the most amazing accounts of bravery and faith I’ve ever read. It details a plane crash in Alaska in [...]
Discerning between God Speaking to us and our Own Desires
Posted in Faith, God, Holy Ghost, Prayer, Spirituality on July 28, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Periodically I read the blog Musings on Mormonism. It is a blog from a former LDS member who is juggling family and spirituality and posts blogs that for the most part appear to be sincere. The other day I read the post entitled “Can our Hearts be Trusted“. She describes how praying and receiving an [...]
Levi Savage: A True Disciple of Jesus and Hero of the Willie Handcart Tragedy
Posted in Faith, Forgiveness, Latter-day Saints on March 23, 2009 | 9 Comments »
For those not familiar with the Willie and Martin handcart company of the early Mormon pioneers, it is a tragic story in which many members of the party died or were severely injured. I will give a very brief description of the events surrounding the trek. Due to unforseen events and financial restraints, Brigham Young [...]
Thoughts about the LDS Phrase: “When I was on my Mission…”
Posted in Faith, Latter-day Saints, Prayer on March 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »
For those of you who are LDS or attend meetings, how often have you heard the phrase “When I was on my mission…”? If you’re like me, it’s a phrase you hear almost as much as “I know this church is true. Whenever I hear the “mission” phrase I think to myself “what about today?” [...]
