  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 18 The Sign Was Drawing Near Waiting for the Coming of the Peacemaker Listen to the NEW Narration:     The Sign Was Drawing Near 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week we begin The Book of Sahnhehmpeht . As you read its opening pages, notice the feeling that fills the record. The people are waiting. They know the promised sign is near. Yet uncertainty hangs over the land. As you read, ask yourself one question: "How do faithful people live while they are waiting for the Lord?" I believe that is one of the great themes of this sacred book. 🌿 What Happened? The opening of Sahnhehmpeht does not begin with celebration. It begins with concern. Word arrives from the south. The faithful are in danger. Prophet Nayfi sends an urgent plea asking that believing people be received into the land of the Nemenhah as a place of refuge. Hahgmehni is deeply grieved. He and Nayfi are more than fellow pro...

  🪶 The Way Is a Wheel, Not a Ladder These last few posts began with a simple question. Why a prayer circle? And somehow that little question opened into something much larger. Lehi’s dream. King Benjamin. Captain Moroni. Mormon. Mohrhohnahyah. The Nemenhah. And one thought kept returning: Maybe the Way is not a ladder. Maybe it is a wheel. I grew up often imagining spiritual life as a ladder. Climb higher. Do better. Reach higher levels. Move upward. And there is truth in growth. But over time I’ve wondered— is that the deepest picture? I’m not sure. Because real discipleship has not felt much like climbing to me. It has felt more like returning. Again and again. To Christ. To Center. A ladder suggests: higher… higher… higher. But the Way often feels more like: wander… return. Forget… return. Fall… return. Pray… return. That feels much more like life. And much more like grace. And maybe that is why the image of a wheel has touched me. A center. Spokes leading inward. Movement aro...

  Saturday Morning Common Sense Follow the Voice, Not the Robe A good messenger should help us recognize the Master. Listen the the NEW Song:   Follow the Voice, Not the Robe A Little Common Sense for Latter-day Saints First, let me explain what I mean by “the robe.” I am not talking about sacred temple clothing. The robe is simply a symbol for all the outward signs of religious authority: the title, the calling, the office, the position, the important chair, and the name tag. Those things may identify a leader. They do not automatically identify the voice of the Lord. [IMAGE: A dignified religious leader in a suit and robe stands beside a road sign pointing toward Jesus Christ in warm light. Several ordinary people look past the leader toward Christ. The leader is smiling and pointing the same direction. Gentle editorial-cartoon style, reverent rather than mocking. Minimal text: “THIS WAY TO CHRIST.”] We religious folks do love a good title. Put a man in the right chair,...

  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 17 Hahgmehni's Final Testimony Five Treasures to Carry Forward Listen to the NEW Narration:    Hahgmehni's Final Testimony 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week we finish The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read his final testimony, don't think of it as simply the end of a book. Think of it as the words of a faithful servant who knew future generations—including us—would one day read his record. As you read, ask yourself one question: "If Hahgmehni could leave me only a few lasting lessons, what would they be?" I believe that's exactly what he hoped we would discover. 🌿 What Happened? As Hahgmehni brings his sacred record to a close, he leaves us with more than history. He leaves us with his witness. He had watched families walk in covenant with the Peacemaker. He had seen communities built upon faith instead of fear. He had witnessed prayers answered and hearts healed. He had lear...

  🪶 Mormon Held the Center in Collapse After pondering prayer circles… and Lehi’s path to the Tree… and King Benjamin turning tents toward the temple… and Captain Moroni raising a standard… my thoughts kept settling on Mormon. And a sentence came to me I couldn’t shake: Mormon held the Center in collapse. I have sat with that line. And it keeps growing. Mormon lived while everything was coming apart. Not just politically. Spiritually. Morally. Socially. Everything. His people were unraveling. And he knew it. He saw it. He wept over it. But somehow… he kept his soul turned toward Christ. That moves me. Think about his life. He wasn’t writing in revival. He was writing in ruin. Not in Zion— but after Zion had largely been forgotten. And still… what did he preserve? Faith. Covenant. Christ. Memory. Hope. Even scholars note Mormon and Moroni become witnesses   through   collapse, not outside it.   That matters. Because many of us think faith is easier in peace. Mormon s...

  🌿 Journey Through the Nemenhah Sacred Records Lesson 16 A Delightsome People Walking the Covenant Every Day Listen to the NEW Narration:     A Delightsome People 📖 Let's Read the Record Together This week continue reading The Book of Hahgmehni . As you read these next verses, notice how often the Record speaks about the people—not their possessions. It isn't their wealth that is remembered. It isn't their power. It isn't even their victories. Instead, Hahgmehni describes the kind of people they became. As you read, ask yourself one question: "What made these people delightsome before the Peacemaker?" I think the answer is just as important today as it was then. 🌿 What Happened? As Hahgmehni continues his record, he describes a people who desired to remain faithful to the covenant they had made with the Peacemaker. They remembered Him. They taught their children. They cared for one another. They sought peace instead of contention. Thei...

  🪶 The Iron Rod May Be a Spoke A strange thought came to me after writing about sacred circles. It wouldn’t leave me alone. What if Lehi’s dream has been teaching this same pattern all along? And then a thought came so simple it almost made me laugh: What if the iron rod is a spoke… and Christ is the Hub? Now stay with me. I’m not trying to turn Lehi into a diagram. I’m just following a pattern. And sometimes patterns teach. We usually read Lehi’s dream as: Hold to the rod. Avoid the mist. Get to the tree. And that’s true. But what if there’s more? What if the whole dream is about learning how to return to Center? Because that’s what struck me. Everything in the dream moves toward one place. The Tree. And scholars have actually noted the tree is the symbolic center of the whole vision.   Center. That word started opening things for me. Lehi begins in darkness. A dark and dreary waste. How many of us begin there? Confused. Searching. Wounded. Praying for mercy. That sounds a ...
