The accident was caused by the crew focusing on what seemed to matter at the moment at the expense of focusing on the thing that mattered most.

“I imagine that I could ask any priesthood holder to prepare a talk on what matters most and they will do a good job.”

What excuses do you cling to that keep you from being the kind of husband, father, son, and priesthood holder that you should be.

The doctrines of the church are not someones best guess as to the meaning of ancient scripture.

I am doing a great work and will not come down.

Our Heavenly Father seeks those who refuse to allow the trivial to hinder them in their pursuit of the eternal. He seeks those who will not allow the attraction of ease or the traps of the adversary to distract them from the work He has given them to perform. He seeks those whose actions conform to their words – those who say with conviction, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down.”
