God Looks Out for the Shearers

This is the text of the things I said at my dad's funeral on November 23rd. I'm putting it here for safe keeping. God looks out for the Shearers My dad told me that several different times in my life. None of them were connected. When he said it to me the first time I …

Grateful

We lost my dad this past weekend. That's a funny way to start writing something where the titel is "Grateful". But here's the thing, when I took a minute to think about how things went I am grateful and I can see God in a lot of parts. My dad, Malcolm Shearer had cancer. He …

The Good Samaritan – Am I the last to see this meaning?

A couple of weeks ago I was rereading the talk form the April 2021 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter Day Saints that is called Room at the Inn by Elder Gerrit W. Gong. I remember him giving the talk in April but it didn't stick at the time. This time …

Two initial thoughts that inspired this post. Joseph smith describes himself as an obscure boy of no consequence JSH 1:22 2. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who …

2 Kings 5:1-14

I noticed something interesting this week in the story of Elisha healing Naaman who was a mighty warrior and also a leper. I think it's important to read the story. Go ahead and then we'll chat about it. 1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, …

Trust

These past 5 years have been a huge jump in learning for me. I've learned how better to study scriptures. I've learned how better to seek and receive revelation and inspiration from God. I've learned that God doesn't speak to all of us the same way (I knew that before but it has been impressed …
