Recently my wife and I were released from serving in our church calling at the Utah State Prison, and though we are saddened by this gut wrenching change in our lives, I felt the need to write yet another short article about my observations of prison life as a third in the series of articles titled, A Change of Heart. This article similarly discusses our experiences facilitating Latter-day Saint related... 
After watching the presentation and historical background of the Latter-day Saint broadcast, Music and the Spoken Word, I remembered one unique broadcast that gave me several new perspectives on life and my relationship with God.

Every time I attend the prison and meet with the inmates, male and female, I experience the Spirit and come away having learned something new. The first article, A Change of Heart: Part I, has been widely circulated among the female inmates and volunteer staff there. It was written to express the profound experiences felt there by volunteers about how the atonement of Jesus Christ is affecting the... 
A recent calling to serve as a volunteer providing church services at the Utah State Prison and recent loss of a son to substance abuse has changed my perspectives on judging another person based on what we see with our eyes and not in righteousness. This article discusses my observations of the inmates who pursue a change of heart that accompanies the sincere application of the atonement of Jesus Christ... 
During one of our adoption visits to Russia we stopped at an orphanage unrelated to ours to let our escort do some business. My wife and I waited in the air-conditioned van for about thirty minutes in 110 degree weather when I announced I had to use the bathroom – an outhouse with a hole in the ground behind the orphanage. The driver got permission and we walked through the orphanage to the... 
Having participated in many multidenominational Bible studies and discussions, thoughts about what the root differences are between Latter-day Saint beliefs and the rest of the Christian world have weighed heavily on my mind for some time. Recently, I came to believe that all of the differences in the world can be summarized in three words found only in the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus...

Oftentimes our discussion would move in...

Other vices may sometimes bring people together: you may find good fellowship and jokes and friendliness among drunken people or unchaste people. But Pride always means enmity-it is enmity.
