Doctrine and Covenants 42:6

Spiritual Crocodiles Revisited

Those ahead of you in life have probed about the water holes a bit and raise a voice of warning about crocodiles. Not just the big, gray lizards that can bite you to pieces, but spiritual crocodiles, infinitely more dangerous, and more deceptive and less visible, even, than those well-camouflaged reptiles of Africa.
These spiritual crocodiles can kill or mutilate your souls. They can destroy your peace of mind and the peace of mind of those who love you. Those are the ones to be warned against, and there is hardly a watering place in all of mortality now that is not infested with them.- Boyd K. Packer

Eternal Families

What could be of greater importance than being with your family for eternity. I know for me this is of the greatest importance. How much does your family mean to you?

The Words of Christ

"all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good." -   2 Nephi 33:10

"all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good." 2 Nephi 33:10

There is Power in Prayer

When we are at our worst I know that is when it is sometimes hardest to ask for needed help, but I testify that help will come. All we need do is ask and act in Faith.

God is no respecter of persons

Christ invites all to come unto him, and receive a remission of their sins. He is no respecter of Persons. The worth of every soul is great in the sight of God.

What of Faith?

Many don't want to believe, or say they won't believe unless a sign is given, or they have a great life-changing experience. To this I say "What of Faith?" Faith is how we are strengthened through rough times. Walk in and by faith. Knowledge will come as we act in faith.

The Imperfect

In this Church, what we know will always trump what we do not know. And remember, in this world, everyone is to walk by faith.

So be kind regarding human frailty—your own as well as that of those who serve with you in a Church led by volunteer, mortal men and women. Except in the case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it. So should we. - Elder Holland http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2013/04/lord-i-believe?lang=eng

There is Hope

"When dark clouds of trouble hang o'er us
And threaten our peace to destroy,
There is hope smiling brightly before us,
And we know that deliv'rance is nigh.
We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness.
We've proved him in days that are past.
The wicked who fight against Zion
Will surely be smitten at last." -We Thank Thee Oh God For a Prophet
