    I like the way we are reminded over and over that the restoration is ongoing, it isn’t a past event that we simply remember. It is a present event that we participate in. “Hosannah” means “save now” “Hallelujah” means “praise to the Lord Jehovah” The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday is the story…

    Speaking of the eternal perspective relative to those who are LGBTQ. We can’t allow our efforts to follow the second great commandment (love thy neighbor) to interfere with keeping the first great commandment (love God).

    All calls to serve are calls to serve others for Christ. We do not choose the length, timing, or order of the callings we receive but all callings are meant to prepare us to live in eternal families. When President Eyring speaks of Sister Eyring I get the feeling that she may die before next…

    Honor the names that you bear because Sunday you will have the opportunity and the obligation to report to Heavenly Father what you have done with those names. The most important name you will have to account for us if you have taken the name of Christ upon you.

Sadly, may who suffer severe depression separate…
