For my Hugh Nibley fans, I've updated my MP3 library. I have the rest of the Book of Mormon to upload and then three more talks to share with you, but I have added some files that were missing.
One of my favorite Nibley quotes -- "Why was I put in this situation?" It's from the video, Faith of an Observer when Nibley shares his World War II experiences. He was part of the military intelligence, assigned to the 101st Airborne Division -- the Screaming Eagles. On June 6, 1944, D-Day, he was selected to be one of the first few to hit the Utah Beach in Normandy. What an assignment of doom.
"I'll tell you if there was anything that puzzled me all the time I was there, I would say, 'What on earth am I doing here? Why was I put in this situation?' I felt I was just an observer. 'Why, am I being shown this awful stuff? I don't want to see it!' " (Hugh Nibley)When life serves up some difficult experiences, I try to say that to myself, "Why was I put in this situation?" God must want me to learn something.
You can read about World War II experiences in "Sergeant Nibley Memories of an Unlikely Screaming Eagle." It's a really fun read, written by his son.
