He answered: “To this end I was born…that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth heareth my voice.” As he started to leave the hall, Pilate, more out of apprehension and bewilderment, exclaimed: “What is truth?”

So here we are again. Different time and place, but faced with the same perplexing question. A question that hangs heavily in the air but that gravity never seems to bring down upon ‘we the people.’ We listen with ‘itching’ ears and strain with ‘bloodshot’ eyes for the answer to that long ago question. We yearn for the sweet ‘taste’ of honesty from our political leaders, those that take the Attorneys Oath, and others who carry upon themselves the Hippocratic Oath. We depend upon our media to supply us with unbiased information so we can find the truth which allows us to make choices that will bless the lives of our families and of mankind. But still we are left bewildered and confused, as was Pilate.

And the public ‘hand washing’ by our leaders, on all sides, is beginning to grow tiresome to us all. As our search for truth grows ever so elusive and burdensome, we are left with the Pilatean question of ‘what is truth?’ and the disappointing conclusion that we might never find it!

ROOTS OF INSPIRATION

In 2007 I began writing a daily inspirational thought to my children, now grown, with the intent to draw them closer to Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. The influence of the gospel of Jesus Christ is found in all aspects of our lives. The Savior was a great teacher because he taught parables that resonated with the common man. He could relate simple stories that could be understood by all. I have found the more simple the story, the more profound the message.All of our testimonies can have a powerful impact for good for centuries if we take the time to write them down. After all, the scriptures are simply the inspired thoughts and interaction of men with deity that have been written down for all to read. There is no reason that our influence for good has to go with us to the grave. I have hopes, as did Jacob whose final words were, “…to the reader I bid farewell, hoping that many of my brethren may read my words. Brethren, adieu”
