In 1 Nephi chapter 4 right at the beginning of the Book of Mormon, we encounter a narrative where a young man is instructed by God to kill an unconscious individual. I have to admit, on the surface, this is not…
I woke up this morning and there was a bright beam of sunlight peeking between the curtains. The first thought to come to my mind the words “Glory to God in the highest” like the hymn. I offered my thanks to…
