  🌿 The Steward's Song You might enjoy this NEW Song of Zion:    The Steward's Song We Never Really Own Anything Hello, my friends. It's just me again... ...the old man on the porch. As I've grown older, I've noticed something. The older I get... the less I feel like I own anything. The house I live in... One day someone else will live there. The truck I drive... Someone else will drive it. The money I save... Someone else will eventually spend it. Even this old body I've walked around in for so many years... I'll return that too. Maybe that's one of life's greatest lessons. We don't really own very much. We've simply been trusted with it—for a little while. 🌿 The Lord calls us stewards. Jesus often spoke about stewardship. In His parables, servants were entrusted with vineyards, talents, fields, and responsibilities. One day the Master returned and simply asked: "What did you do with what I entrusted to you?" That question reache...

 The Journey Every Soul Must Walk 🕊️✍️ By The True Remnant Throughout this series we’ve been looking at patterns in the scriptures. Patterns that quietly teach us how the Lord works. Patterns that show up again and again across different books and generations. But when you step back and look at the big picture, something beautiful appears. Many of these stories are really describing **the same journey**. The journey every soul eventually walks. --- ## 📜 The Path One of the most powerful symbolic teachings in the scriptures is **Lehi’s dream**. In the vision he sees a path leading toward the **tree of life**. Along the way there is a rod of iron to hold onto. There is a mist of darkness that confuses travelers. There are voices from a great and spacious building trying to pull people away. Some people wander. Some people give up. But some hold tightly to the rod and continue forward until they reach the tree. This vision describes the **path of life**. --- ## ✨ The Turning Point A...

  The Winter Stories Why Chief Joseph Is Still Remembered NEW         Song of Zion :        Seven Drums Chief Joseph Some stories are told because they are interesting. Others are told because a people cannot afford to forget them. Among many Native American tribes, winter was the season for telling the old stories. When the snow covered the mountains and the work of the year had ended, families gathered around the fire. Grandparents became the teachers. Children listened. Heroes lived again. These stories were never merely entertainment. They preserved a people's memory, identity, and values. Every generation learned what courage looked like, what kindness looked like, and what it meant to become a peacemaker. As I read the First Book of Ahyahpahlehksihluhm in the Nemenhah Records, I found myself thinking of those winter fires. The prophecy speaks of sickness sweeping through the land. Cities become empty. Gardens are overgrown. Famili...

  🌿 Follow the Voice Listen to the New Song of Zion:    Follow the Voice The Most Important Decision We Will Ever Make Hello, my friends. It's just me again... ...the old man on the porch. If I could leave my children and grandchildren with only one lesson... only one... I think it would simply be this: Learn to recognize His voice. Not my voice. Not your favorite preacher's voice. Not the loudest voice on the internet. Not even the traditions you've inherited. His voice. Because every other decision in life flows from that one. 🌿 We live in a world full of voices. Some are sincere. Some are wise. Some are fearful. Some are angry. Some promise safety. Some promise prosperity. Some promise certainty. If we listen long enough, they can all begin to sound convincing. But Jesus said something wonderfully simple: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27) Notice what He didn't say. He didn't say His sheep know every answer. He...

 What Zion Communities Actually Look Like 🕊️✍️ By The True Remnant When people hear the word **Zion**, they often imagine a place. A city. A future gathering. But when the scriptures describe Zion, they rarely focus on buildings or geography. They focus on something much deeper. They focus on **the hearts of the people**. --- ## 📜 Zion Begins With the Heart The scriptures describe Zion in very simple terms. A people who are united. A people who care for one another. A people who walk humbly with God. Zion is not created by organization alone. It grows from the inside out. From hearts that have learned to follow Christ. --- ## ✨ A Glimpse of Zion in the Book of Mormon One of the most beautiful descriptions of Zion appears in **4 Nephi**. After the Savior appeared to the people in the Americas, something remarkable happened. For a time, the people lived in peace. There were no divisions among them. They shared what they had. They cared for one another. And the scriptures say: > ...

  🌅 The Knowledge Wheel Awakening to Light and Learning to Hear the Peacemaker 🪶 As we continued building the Sacred Wheels of the Nemenhah, something became increasingly clear: Everything begins with light. Not domination. Not control. Not blind obedience. Light. Understanding. Awakening. Learning to see clearly. That realization eventually became: The Knowledge Wheel. And honestly, this wheel may be one of the most important of all. Because without true knowledge: sacrifice can become manipulation, virtue can become legalism, consecration can become forced control, and religion itself can become Babylon wearing sacred clothing. The records repeatedly point people back toward something much deeper: living light. 🌿 One thing that stands out over and over in the Nemenhah teachings is that knowledge is not treated merely as information. It is relational. Experiential. Spiritual. The goal is not simply “knowing facts.” The goal is learning how to: hear correctly, see correctly, dis...

🌿 The Circle Returns Here the Song of Zion:    The Circle Returns Every Choice Comes Home Hello, my friends. It's just me again... ...the old man on the porch. I've been thinking about circles. Not the kind we draw with a compass. The kind we live every day. Long before I ever read the scriptures deeply, and long before I discovered the Nemenhah records, I noticed something about life. Nothing ever really ends. It comes back. Kindness comes back. Cruelty comes back. Mercy comes back. Bitterness comes back. Everything we send out into the world has a way of finding its way home again. The older I get, the more convinced I am that heaven built the universe that way. 🌱 The Savior taught the principle. "With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." (Matthew 7:2) What we give... returns. Not because God is trying to punish us. Not because He enjoys rewarding us. But because love—and truth—are woven into the very fabric of creation. The universe remembers...
