Wood or Clay?

Paul said to Timothy: "...in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay." (2 Timothy 2:20).

And so it also is for me, as an ever so grateful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), that I am one of those wood or clay vessels.

Those Who Wait

Dear Charlene,

The persistent deluge of heavy rain and flooding yesterday really diminished the number of patrons at the D.C. Temple.

In point of fact, during the first morning endowment session, I was the only patron, but a sister finally was found, and a session was conducted for just the two of us (plus the two in the Spirit World, who had been waiting so long and anxiously).

Meanness Does As Meanness Is

Dear XXXXX,

Your comment yesterday about the strident meanness in the hearts and minds of a few folks hereabouts struck a resonant yet mournful chord in my heart.

Such attitudes in others are a cancer that eats away at their souls, doing them far more lasting damage than anyone else.

They have met the enemy and they are them.
