Cessation of Posting


          There is a time for things to start, and there is also a time for them to end.  The purpose of this blog has been to help people come closer to Christ.  In fact, that is the great objective of my life.  I have learned a lot from the posts I have written, and I hope and pray that they have touched the lives of those who needed them the most.

          What I feel in my heart is that the purpose of this blog has been completed.  I accomplished what I set out to do.  It is time to move on.

          Elder Scott once said, " We need not worry if we can’t simultaneously do all of the things that the Lord has counseled us to do. He has spoken of a time and a season for all things. In response to our sincere prayers for guidance, He will direct us in what should be emphasized at each phase of our life. We can learn, grow, and become like Him one consistent step at a time."

          I know that that is true.  There is a time for everything under the heavens.  And there is also a time to end.  I pray that each of you that have read this blog will go forward in faith and accomplish all that your Father in Heaven knows that you can do.  I hope that you will arise and shine and be like Him.

          The time has come for me to focus on other projects.  I trust that with the Lord's help, they will be even greater tools in His hands to bring to pass His righteousness.  Know that I love you, and that I have written what I have written for your sakes.  Not mine.  I hope that my words will help you in your quest to follow the Savior.

          Finally, I want to acknowledge the Lord's help in anything good that has come from this blog.  It is His work.  He is the one who performs the miracles.  With His help, we can do great things.

          I would like to share with you my testimony that I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He did in reality die for us.  His Atonement extends beyond the immensity of space and to eternity.  He is intensely concerned about each one of us.  Joseph Smith was His servant in initiating a work that will sweep the world and ultimately save it.  I know that Thomas S. Monson is a literal prophet and that his words are God's words.  The Book of Mormon is true.  The Plan of Salvation is real.  Zion will come.  All of these things I know for myself, independent of all others.  It is true, and it is wonderful.


Your Fellow-Servant,
