27 Episode – Turning My Wheels
The scriptures are full of object lessons. The Savior, in his parables, used many object lessons. Have you looked for those in your own life? I found one on my way to Utah this summer. Hope you enjoy it!

25 Episode – Mighty in the Truth
The sword of truth is all we have to fight with, but will we pick it up?
Note: I refer to the sword in the Armor of God as the sword of truth, but the scriptures actually refer to it as the sword of the Spirit. I think my confusion came from the Hymn Let Us All Press On, 243. But, the scriptures came from the Spirit prompting prophets to write things down. And all truth comes to us by the Spirit, so, it works. Enjoy!

Do you ever have a hard time with the personalities of people you go to church with? I have. But there really is room for everyone. Heavenly Father can use all of us to further his work. Just look at the differing personalities in the scriptures.
