Summary

How do Lydia and Edward Partridge’s suffering, humility, and service apply to Latter-day Saints today? Dr. Alford returns for Part II and we discuss keeping a record of the Lord’s hand in our lives, what supporting our leaders may look like (or not), as well as the parable of the Last Days. Dr. Alford’s lifelong service in the US Army helps us relate to wars, rumors of wars, in the 1830s and today. Shownotes: https://followhim.co/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodca...

0:59.1	In the 19th century, they would acknowledge Christmas, they would recognize it, they would
1:03.2	do family things, but it's not uncommon for, you know, maybe children get a piece of
1:10.0	dried fruit or something for Christmas.
1:12.1	I mean, it's not, it is not the commercial event it is today.
