Special day of prayer and fasting

I submitted this to the Peninsula Daily News but I guess they decided not to publish, so I thought I’d share it here. I’m 49 years old. In my lifetime, the closest thing that I can relate to today’s COVID-19 pandemic, is 9-11. The world as we knew it had changed. The loss of lifeContinueContinue reading “Special day of prayer and fasting”

Joseph Smith’s First Vision

This video took way longer than it should have. Back in the October 2014 General Conference, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, invited everyone to consider recording Joseph Smith’s account of the First Vision in our own words. I tried doing an audio recording of everyone reading it during aContinueContinue reading “Joseph Smith’s First Vision”

What to see in Salt Lake City Utah?

I am currently in Detroit, Michigan making a connecting flight from Harrisburg, PA to Seattle, WA. It was a ridiculously early flight which boarded at 5:10 a.m. I wanted to get home so I would still have some of my Saturday with my family back in Port Angeles, WA, but wowza! What a long dayContinueContinue reading “What to see in Salt Lake City Utah?”

My witness of a living Apostle of Jesus Christ

I have been blessed in my life to have had some wonderful examples, leaders, and friends. As I have thought today about someone who exemplifies Christlike service, my mission president, now an Apostle, Neil L. Andersen, has been on my mind. He was called at a young age to be a mission president. He stillContinueContinue reading “My witness of a living Apostle of Jesus Christ”

Je Suis Enfant De Dieu

Newly released song where I sing in French, the primary song I Am A Child Of God. I think that I will make a video of this in the future. Je Suis Enfant De Dieu https://soundcloud.com/jason-cable-guy-bringhurst/je-suis-enfant-de-dieu    

Making a music video

This is my first attempt at recording, filming, editing, and publishing a music video. I know it’s not as polished as it could be, but it’s my first attempt. I probably have all the wrong equipment.  In any case, I hope you can overlook that enjoy the video of my oldest daughter Julienne Bringhurst singingContinueContinue reading “Making a music video”

Hydrocephalus strikes again

For those who don’t know, Xavier is back at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Over the past few weeks he’s been having headaches on and off. He would usually take some Tylenol and sleep it off. Sunday he was in pain and didn’t eat much after breakfast. He was sleepy and he started to get dizzy. These areContinueContinue reading “Hydrocephalus strikes again”

Temple worship

One of the unique things about the faith of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints is our temples. There is sometimes confusion about our temples from the fact that not just anyone can walk inside and look at one. You can do that at one of our churches or visitor centersContinueContinue reading “Temple worship”

Making music

I have always loved music. I used to play around with a double cassette recorder adding different sounds and singing to mix my own music. I was never trained in music and I don’t play any instruments, but I have been able to learn enough to sing in our ward (church) choir and have evenContinueContinue reading “Making music”

The secret about the Book of Mormon

I was raised in the faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My grandmother always had the Book of Mormon on the end table next to her chair so she could read it every day. It was well marked and worn. I saw her read it often.  I had my personal copyContinueContinue reading “The secret about the Book of Mormon”
