Lessons from the story of Zeezrom (Alma 15)

Sometimes we feel that our sins are so great that we can't be forgiven. Such was Zeezrom's case. He felt his opposition to the Church had led to the death of Alma and Amulek and others. However, even in his situation, his faith in Christ was enough that he was forgiven and also healed. See Alma 15 < http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/15 >. 5 and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom; and they found him upon his bed, sick, being very low with a burning fever; and his mind also was exceedingly sore because of his iniquities; and when he saw them he stretched forth his hand, and besought them that they would heal him. 6 And it came to pass that Alma said unto him, taking him by the hand: Believest thou in the power of Christ unto salvation? 7 And he answered and said: Yea, I believe all the words that thou hast taught. 8 And Alma said: If thou believest in the redemption of Christ thou canst be healed. 9 And he said: Yea, I believe according to thy words. 10 And then A...

Lessons of the past prepare us to face the challenges of the future

Apostle Tom Perry said in October 2009 conference "Lessons of the past prepare us to face the challenges of the future." As we raise our children and chart our own courses we need to learn from past mistakes, choose models to follow, build on traditions, and set high expectations. An important person in the raising of my children was their grandfather who moved to Edmonton after my mother died – Melanie was sick during her pregnancy with Annelise and their grandfather came to take care of the other children. In his retirement he wrote family history "Them of the Last Wagon" and "Faithful Generation" and researched and found thousands of family names for genealogy. He also raised horses. Elder Packer said, "I have horses not because I raise horses.  I have horses because I'm raising children." Every summer my children spent riding horses with their grandfather. Their grandfather learned horsemanship from his father.  His father...
