So incredible!
Your poem is beautiful! You are a poet, and a great teacher. I love Jesus Christ and never want to hear those words… I Would Not! From Him.
Thank You for this wonderful lesson.

Wow! Beautiful insights Brother Halverson. My parents were serving in St Thomas when hurricane Marilyn hit and their experience was exactly how you described it holding dearly on to a mattress to survive the storm. While they thought the storm would never end, the winds stopped and calmed. They were so grateful to God that spared their lives and their fellow missionaries and neighbors❤️🩷❤️

I remember several years ago Ravi Zacharias giving an address at BYU and he shared a story about being in India and seeing the aftermath of a barnyard fire. There were several hens that had died from the heat and flames but the chicks that had sheltered under their wings were saved from the fire and lived.

Wonderful Morning
Every body is up...
Living with daughter now.
I love each part of the book 📖
But Jesus coming is special for many reasons
We think about the things we have found in the many years and cities off different countries, idols off in the seas, roads, yes he came to many different places
And came to 🌎 America's
I believe this and know it'd true.
Know it's True.
I don't know if I will be alive when he comes again .
I love him ❤
I don't know what I'd do without him. 20:12

this is my favorite part in the book of mormon all the heart felt feelings of not only our savior but the people and then feeling that you dont ever want him to leave ever . i can only imagine with that same hope . i love that thank you for all you do brother ..

My dad always says the every valley verse refers to what happens to us. The proud is brought low and the humble are raised up. I like his additional interpretation.

Thank you for your beautiful poem, Brother Halverson. You pay the price to have profound experiences. Thank you for sharing the treasures that comes from your sacrifices, with us. We are SO blessed because of you. I wish I could bless you and your family....

Brother Halverson, I love your poem….great job! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your testimony as you help us understand and liken the scriptures to us in our day!

[Linda-ween]

Yes, it's a battle against the evil one. The Book of Mormon is such an explaination of our day. Filling out lives with things of God is the only way we can navigate the upheavals and personal life disasters in these last days. I'm so grateful for the Savior and His matchless power to help, heal, comfort, lead and guide.

I believe we're going through a transition and we are witnessing the Gathering of Israel. Israel's not a country it is in our heart. All of our brothers and sisters are all connected to Father above therefore We Are Family. I love God with all my heart and my brother Jesus that did such an amazing job teaching the principles of God which are unconditional love unconditional forgiveness charity for all never judge anyone and pray for those who spitefully use us. All glory to God the higher power or whatever you want to call him he doesn't care just call him. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ just as Jesus taught us to pray to the father . Our Father and Jesus are connected as well as the holy spirit in the same purpose to walk with us on our journey and keep us safe. However we have to choose that guiding force to be safe

[reneewalters]

Yesterday I had 6 baby chicks hatch from my pure white silkie chicken family. The timing of it has been so special as I’ve been pondering the Savior’s words in chapter 10:5. I watch the mother hen stretch forth her white “wings of mercy”, while softly clucking to her chicks to gather beneath her in safety. Trustingly, they all flock to her, disappear under her wings, then cautiously poke their little heads out to see if danger has passed. She sits, fiercely protective, willing to give her life and face any threat to her babies. It is the most tender, nurturing scene. Never do I see any of the chicks refuse to be gathered. Oh that we could all be as trusting as these baby chicks!

[joannb]

We are witnessing the Gathering of Israel and every country. Just as God said that in the latter days this is where it would get to. Teach lovingly to The Strangers have the face in God and teach as Jesus did. That we must all have unconditional love unconditional forgiveness charity for all and never judging anyone else. All glory to God in Jesus humble name amen

I'm beginning to think that it's only when our hearts have been completely broken by tragic events in our lives that we are humbled sufficiently enough to submit to Heavenly Father's will and trust in His purpose for our lives here on earth. Submitting to and trusting in His will for us then brings peace and contentment even through our heartbreak.
