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 dayContinue reading “What to see in Salt Lake City Utah?”
Unknown Ancient America
As archaeology gets more high-tech, we seem to be finding more and more about the ancient inhabitants of America. I’m fascinated to hear about discoveries of the ancient civilizations who lived right here on the American continent. I don’t remember hearing much about great civilizations the built temples and cities. I only heard about theContinue reading “Unknown Ancient America”
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.

You can do that at one of our churches or visitor centersContinue reading “Temple worship”
A letter to my children on Father’s Day
I wrote a great blog post Saturday after coming home from the Seattle temple. It was a good one and I was very pleased with what I had written.

Punch out arcade game
The year is 1985. It is summer time. There is a small arcade at the Dan’s grocery store about a mile from home. Each day during the summer, my friends and I would walk to the store for an ice cream and to play some video games. Sometimes I only had a quarter. Sometimes I had 4 quarters. But one thing was for sure, I was going to play “Punch Out.”
A temple in France
I recently had the incredible opportunity to go back to France where I served my mission and attend the open house for the Paris Temple. It is now the 156th operating temple. My mission president was Elder Neil L. Andersen who now serves as an apostle, and he took us on a personal tour throughContinue reading “A temple in France”

One of the unique things about the LDS faith (Mormon) is our temples. There is sometimes confusion about our temples from the fact that not just anyone can walk inside and look at one.
