Shadowlands
by Bruce Carlson
I think it’s more than a tear jerker. That’s kind of cheap. That’s not quite right. Furthermore, Lewis isn’t shy. Lewis was very gregarious, outgoing, not shy in the least.

Luke 24:44-53 and Waldenstrom’s Commentary

“Tolle lege; tolle lege”
by Elder M. Lindahl
Some good friends of mine left for college today. It was not easy to see them go, even though I knew it would be best for all concerned. They had been living in my study for many years — some of them since I first arranged space for them in the late ’40s.
