The Church of Jesus Christ is putting out a lot of videos on Youtube lately. They are really good quality, impressive videos. I’m going to add a couple of links to a couple of the videos on this website but if you would like to see more, please visit the “Mormon Messages Youth” Youtube channel for more.

Below is a video for Young Men in the Mormon Church. The video talks about the important need for Young Men to be a Priesthood man and fulfilling your Duty to God. The Video is called “Becoming a priesthood man: Priesthood duty”.

My two kids started a paper route just a few months ago. It has been great to have them learn how to work and that work does pay off. They are enjoying the money they are making and at the same time, they are learning how much a dollar is worth. The one down side of doing a paper route is that you have to work every day, including Sunday. I really would rather not have them work on Sunday but a paper route is not one of those jobs that gives you a choice. So, we do the paper route on Sunday and we try to keep our minds on the Sabbath. One morning I decided to turn on the radio to see if there was any uplifting music playing at the early hour of 5:00am. I bounced around the radio dial looking for something other than rock and roll and country music. I didn’t find anything. Then, I came across Mix 103. It is a local radio station and I was surprised to hear a “Mormon” song. I was a little shocked. We don’t live in a predominantly Mormon city so I was curious. We listened to the station all morning on the route and heard many inspiring stories and beautiful hymns. Some of the comments made during the program I could tell were specifically LDS topics. They mentioned the Book of Mormon and many scriptures from the Mormon Standard Works which includes the Bible, Doctrine and Covenants, Perl of Great Price, and the Book of Mormon. But, there were other messages that were just uplifting and positive with no reference to any specific religion.

I enjoyed it so much that I was determined to contact my local radio station, Mix 103, and let them know that I appreciated the programming of “Sounds of Sunday“. Every Sunday for several weeks I remembered that I wanted to call the radio station but each week I kept forgetting. Well, this morning I called and offered my thanks for such great programming for Sunday Morning. I also decided to go the “The Sounds of Sunday” website and thank them for what they were doing. I received wonderful feedback from both institutions. The radio station even mentioned that they are thinking of playing “the sounds of Sunday” all the way till noon.

So, now, every Sunday morning when we are on our paper route, I turn my radio to 102.9 and listen to some beautiful Sunday music so that our little LDS Family can prepare ourselves to participate in the Sunday services at Church later in the day.

I thought I would help get this video out there. It is a wonderful video by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Here is what was written about it.

“BYUtv is trying to promote good in the world by making this video go viral, and there is no better time than during the Christmas season!
