On January 24, we had Elder L. Tom Perry give our weekly devotional here at BYU-Idaho. It was kind of a big deal. He gave a really great (of course - he is an apostle of the Lord, after all) talk of building "Scaffolding for our Lives".
The next week, Brother Dale Sturm - the chair of our religious education department - gave a devotional entitled "Faith is a Decision". It was also very good. In fact, I liked it so much that I told Rachel I thought it was even better than Elder Perry's.
She looked at me like I was an absolute heathen.
The next day, Ashley, who had not been able to come to devotional with us, came home saying that her religion teacher highly recommended Brother Sturm's talk and that he thought it was even better than Elder Perry's.
Rachel must think she's on a campus full of apostates, but I feel justified, now, in sharing this link, because, really, it was very good.
(I'm not necessarily encouraging you to listen to this in your spare time (because I know we all come home from church each week with a reading list as long as our arms that people have strongly encouraged (my, isn't this post full of italics?) us to read), but if you need to give any kind of lesson of your choosing in the near future, this is a *gooder.)
*Did you know "gooder" is a Canadian word?
You know, it's very possible that other people can speak with the power of the Holy Ghost -- not JUST Apostles ;) Thanks for the link. It sounds like the perfect FHE lesson for Dad and I. (When it's my turn, of course. So I don't have to come up with something on my own. giggle.)
ReplyDeleteOkay, this comment is a few days later. Dad and I just watched the talk for FHE, and you're right. It's a "gooder"!
