The Light After Death At the recommendation of long-time reader Margaret Brough from a previous post on Cycles of Creation, I purchased and read “The Light After Death” by Vinney Tolman. I also watched several of his on-line interviews, including this one from Shaman Oaks. Because Vinney’s story includes spirit guides, Amazon recommended “Dancing on […]

Acts 2:17 (see also Joel 2:28) When I was much younger I had visions of the future, specifically my own future. Many of those visions came to pass. As they were happening, I recognized them. They had to do with life choices such as education, work or career, marriage, family, and even where I would

My dad passed away last week after a relatively short illness of less than six weeks. Dad’s death, about four years after my mother’s death has brought our family closer together. For example, although we always communicate via email at least weekly, I feel a greater desire to stay closer to my brother, who lived

In keeping with the instruction from Brother Brigham in yesterday’s post, I add today the words of Heber C. Kimball, also from remarks made at the funeral of President Jedediah M. Grant, who died of pneumonia at the young age of forty, while faithfully serving in the First Presidency with Brigham and Heber. Again, the
