If you want to be involved in member missionary work, it’s important that you associate with people not of your faith! Attending dinners designed to strengthen mutual understanding and respect between various religious groups is a great place to do that. In my case I was invited to attend the American Muslim Institution dinner in […]

In October 2019, I made a quick trip to Detroit Michigan to visit the Detroit Michigan Temple. To get from the hotel to the temple, I took my first Lyft ride. I’m glad I did! My Lyft driver was named Chantil. She had been driving for Lyft for about five weeks. She was a terrific […]

Sometimes member missionary experiences happen when you simply step outside of church in between meetings. That’s what happened with a wonderful young lady named Jackie. I met Jackie as she walked along the sidewalk towards my car one day in between church meetings. Jackie went on to take the lessons and join the Church. Now, […]

I was supposed to be on a plane to Utah tonight. For various reasons, I decided to stay home. Around 8 o’clock I was listening to a song performed by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. I had the thought, “That would be a fun song to play on the piano.” So I walked over […]

I flew to Detroit last Tuesday night to attend the Detroit Michigan Temple. The good news is the round-trip airfare from Baltimore was only $77 on Spirit Airlines; the bad news is I had to wait until Wednesday night at 7 PM to actually attend the temple. The World Series I used the Experian […]

Sometimes the opportunity is just waiting for you outside of a grocery store and all you have to do is walk up to it. That is what happened this morning when I walked up to the Giant Food grocery store in Derwood, Maryland. Positioned outside the store were three ladies sitting behind a table. It […]

IT’S LIKE BUILDING A HOUSE…

An Analogy… It’s like building a house. Except it’s not your house. It’s the Lord’s house. So guess who the general contractor is? Not you. It’s Him. Because it’s His house. And in this case, it’s not really a house, it’s a church. His church–The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The name of […]

Today I found some joy at the Visitors’ Center. A gentleman came to the temple grounds to purchase a used copier the Church was getting rid of. His name is Bonnie. He works with the Evangelical International Mission church. They needed a copier and decided to come pick up ours. Visitors’ Center Quick Stop After […]

You never know what’s going to happen at a loading dock. A church organization recently asked us to remove a vending machine from their cafeteria. Because it was still working, we put it up for sale on Craig’sList. A wonderful guy from a Baptist church in Temple Hills, Maryland contacted us about it. We had […]
