TRACES OF TIME . . . {Last week: Scroll to end and click "Older Posts" at bottom right.}

Joseph Smith Quotes... about time:“The great Jehovah contemplated the whole of the events connected with the earth, pertaining to the , before it rolled into existence, or ever 'the morning stars sang together' for joy; the past, the present, and the future were and are, with Him, one eternal 'now."
"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly. The Color Purple” by Alice Walker, 1982

"The magical, supernatural force
that is with us every second is time.
We can't even comprehend it.
It's such an illusion,
it's such a strange thing."
— Anthony Hopkins
Note from Eileen: You will notice I call
my blog: "Traces of Time..."

I like to read
"The Standard of Truth"
from time to time.
I had forgotten it was from
"The Wentworth Letter"
of 1842...**

“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”

― Joseph Smith Jr.

The Wentworth Letter

By Joseph Smith Jr. (1805–44)

Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization modernized.

Of this classic, Elder B. H. Roberts (1857–1933) of the First Council of the Seventy wrote: “The letter is one of the choicest documents in our church literature; as also it is the earliest published document by the Prophet personally, making any pretension to consecutive narrative of those events in which the great Latter-day work had its origin. … For combining conciseness of statement with comprehensiveness of treatment of the subject with which it deals, it has few equals among historical documents, and certainly none that excel it in our church literature.”

March 1, 1842.—At the request of Mr. John Wentworth, editor and proprietor of the Chicago Democrat, I have written the following sketch of the rise, progress, persecution, and faith of the Latter-day Saints, of which I have the honor, under God, of being the founder. Mr. Wentworth says that he wishes to furnish Mr. Bastow [Barstow], a friend of his, who is writing the history of New Hampshire, with this document. As Mr. Bastow has taken the proper steps to obtain correct information, all that I shall ask at his hands is that he publish the account entire, ungarnished, and without misrepresentation.

“To read the full text of the Wentworth letter, which I highly encourage you to do, you can access it here > Wentworth Letter

God be thanked for calling the prophet Joseph Smith, and God bless Joseph Smith for sacrificing his whole life to bring about the restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are so grateful for him and his words of inspiration and light.”

A Personal Interview with the Savior
President David O. McKay

In 1965, President David O. McKay made the following statement to a group of Church employees: Let me assure you, Brethren, that some day you will have a personal priesthood interview with the Savior himself. If you are interested, I will tell you the order in which he will ask you to account for your earthly responsibilities.

First, he will request an accountability report about your relationship with your wife. Have you actively been engaged in making her happy and ensuring that her needs have been met as an individual?

Second, he will want an accountability report about each of your children individually. He will not attempt to have this for simply a family stewardship but will request information about your relationship to each and every child.

Third, he will want to know what you personally have done with the talents you were given in the preexistence.

Fourth, he will want a summary of your activity in your Church assignments. He will not be necessarily interested in what assignments you have had, for in his eyes the home teacher and a mission president are probably equals, but he will request a summary of how you have been of service to your fellow man in your Church assignments.

Fifth, he will have no interest in how you earned your living but if you were honest in all your dealings.

Sixth, he will ask for an accountability on what you have done to contribute in a positive manner to your community, state, country, and the world.

(Reported by Cloyd Hofheins in a talk to the Seventies Quorum of Provo Utah Oak Hills Stake, May 16, 1982)

                                                             I just found out last week

that Sharon Prescott died.

When we stopped to see our

Prescott cousins in Kaysville

on the way to Rexburg for

Thanksgiving, Linda told

us Sharon had a stroke

and died. She couldn't

remember when.

I found Sharon's death

notice and obituary...

Sharon Prescott
May 1, 1943 - May 4, 2023

Sharon is survived by her husband, Billy H. Prescott, daughter Tamara Jo Pugsley (Aaron), son Thomas Lee Prescott (Amber), and three grandchildren, Taylor Pugsley, Ryan Prescott, and Sarah Prescott. She was preceded in death by her mother Hazel May Morrison, father Bernard D. Morrison, and brother Larry Lee Morrison.

Published by Idaho Statesman on May 11, 2023.

Sharon Louise Prescott

May 1, 1943 ~ May 4, 2023 (age 80)

Tribute

Sharon Louise Prescott, age 80, passed away on May 4, 2023, in Nampa, Idaho. Sharon was born on May 1, 1943, in Nampa, Idaho, to Hazel May Morrison and Bernard D. Morrison. She attended Cole School, Borah High School, and was granted The Degree of P.H.T. (Putting Husband Through) from the Associated Students of the University of Idaho.

The two greatest things in her life were faith in God and love of family. Mom celebrated 58 years of loving dedication to Dad in November of 2022 and spent 55 years as a homemaker, taking care of her family.
Prior to starting a family, she worked as an IBM equipment operator and as a wedding consultant at the Bon Marche. Sharon was an active member of her community. She served in various capacities, including member of the PTA, teacher and supervisor for the C.M.C. Church School, 4-H leader, member of Utah’s 4-H advisory committee, board of directors for the Utah Quarter Horse Association, board of directors for the Intermountain Reining Association, and author of feature articles for the Intermountain Quarter Magazine, The Horse Times, and The Universal Horse Journal.
Most recently, she served as the President of the Moonstruck Homeowners Association. Sharon was passionate about horse competitions since childhood and loved showing Grand Champion halter horses. Sharon took great joy in watching her grandkids grow and develop in 4-H, FFA, band competitions, cheer, and all their adventures.

Sharon is survived by her husband Billy H. Prescott, daughter Tamara (Aaron) Pugsley, son Thomas (Amber) Prescott, grandchildren Taylor Pugsley, Ryan Prescott, and Sarah Prescott, brother Gene Morrison, and three sisters Shirley Strickland, Darlene Moser and Pam Morrison. She was preceded in death by her mother Hazel May Morrison, father Bernard D. Morrison, and brother Larry Lee Morrison.

Sharon worshipped at Cole Community Church in Boise, Idaho, Presbyterian Church in Brigham City, Utah, and most recently at Ten Mile Christian Church in Meridian, Idaho.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, May 12th at 2:00pm in the Gibson Chapel at Cloverdale Funeral Home (1200 N. Cloverdale Rd., Boise, Idaho 83713).

my father on his

112th birthday...

the last 42 have been in heaven.

Arnold Albertson, Age 21 in

Hagerman, Idaho where he grew up.

Summer of 1934

He was 24 in September 1937 when

he eloped with his sweetheart,

Verna Beth Huffaker.

Arnold - Age 32 - Summer 1945

He died at age 69 of colon cancer.

Miss you, Daddy. I think of you as busy

and happy in heaven, reunited with

your eternal sweetheart after she was

a widow for 31 years.

** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this

Great Plan operational.

At the end of this
December 8th,
I pray you have had a restful , peaceful, and spiritual Sabbath Day...
I share these truths as my testimony to you...

Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment.

Daily Scripture:** Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. - Psalm 150:6
Daily Quote: I think the Latter-day Saints have a great obligation pressing in upon them to rejoice in the Lord, to praise him for his goodness and grace, to ponder his eternal truths in their hearts, and to set their hearts on righteousness. - Bruce R. McConkie

* * *

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
* * *

* * *
I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead.
Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."
Daily Scripture:** And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew
* * * * *

Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration. He is the Restorer of all things.
* * *
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world.
* * *
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
* * *
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
* * *
Daily Scripture:** This life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead. - Alma 12:24
Daily Quote: I invite you to diligently learn about and appreciate the eternal importance of temple covenants, temple ordinances, and temple worship as you strive to come unto the Savior. - David A. Bednar

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today. Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.
* * *
Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, a**men.

Happy 142nd in 2024 Birthday to Grama Rie
Maria Smith Prescott
(pronounced Mariah)
The last 55 in heaven.
10 Dec 1882 to 19 Sep 1970 age 87
Married Byrum Heber Prescott
21 May 1874 to 12 Dec 1943 age 69
Married on 10 Jun 1903.
Bide was age 29; Rie age 20
They were married for 40 years.
Rie was a widow for 26 years.

They had 7 children:
Byrum - 1904 - lived one day
John - 1905-1985
Heber - 1909-1985
Jane -1910-2001
Walter "Dean" - 1915-2005
Thomas - 1918-2003
Mary Theresa "Tess" - 1921-2010
Grama Rie could write a poem for any
occasion without much advance notice.
She sewed temple clothes; she did genealogy.
She was a stake Relief Society president
for many years. She could have a dinner on
the table quickly for unexpected relatives
or friends--which included killing, plucking,
and cooking the chickens--along with
everything else needed for the meal.
She owned a millinery (hats--men and women)
shop in Clifton, Idaho
(southeastern Idaho before they moved to
Wendell.) She was quite the woman I am told.
