Re: How to Be An Antiracist, by Ibram Kendi
I like to keep it simple. Each of us is a child of God with a potential destiny of eternal life. Every other label, even including occupation, race, physical characteristics, or honors, is temporary or trivial in eternal terms." (President Dallin H. Oaks, Where Will This Lead? , April 2019 Ge...

Re: Shakespeare Sonnet 66
I can relate to these feelings. There's something beautiful about their being well articulated.

Re: A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A good one, Edward—though I had to look up "bivouac" in the dictionary.

Re: The Family: A Proclamation to the World
Right, Ian! President Nelson reminded us of this recently when he cautioned: The spirit in each of us naturally yearns for family love to last forever. Love songs perpetuate a false hope that love is all you need if you want to be together forever. And some erroneously believe that the Resurrectio...

Re: The Family: A Proclamation to the World
As I was cleaning out the clerk's office in our meetinghouse, I found a pamphlet authored by President Spencer W. Kimball, providing the following insights: Homosexuality certainly is a leaky cistern. It means waste of power, an end to the family and to the civilization. ... One young man sought t...

Re: Happy Birthday George Washington!
I'll add Washington's farewell address to my reading list. "The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it." So true.

Re: The Family: A Proclamation to the World
President Oaks spoke of three fundamental doctrinal truths that God has revealed: “ First , … that God created ‘male and female,’” and that this “binary creation is essential to the plan of salvation.” “ Second , modern revelation teaches that eternal life, the greatest gift of God to His children,...

Re: Black and White
Some things are simply true. The arbiter of truth is God—not your favorite social media news feed, not Google, and certainly not those who are disaffected from the Church. President Spencer W. Kimball taught that absolute truth cannot be “altered by the opinions of men. . . . If men are really humb...

Re: Black and White
We live in stressful times. ... We also have the challenge of living in a godless and increasingly amoral generation. More and more publicized voices deny or doubt the existence of God.

Re: Come, Follow Me 2019
I think it served as a good primer for them, but we'll continue to discuss those things going forward. We're blessed to live so close to temples as well, which helps make them a regular part of their lives.

Re: Come, Follow Me 2019
Yes, our family has enjoyed studying Come, Follow Me every evening and we are astonished by the insights that Jane and Abby share with us. It's been a great blessing. We're taking a 7-day break this week, though, to learn more about the temple (in response to Elder Bednar's invitation from general c...
