    I hope that my response to whatever the Lord offers me will be “Yes please!” Saying we are unworthy to pray is like a sick person saying they are too sick to go to the doctor. Like medicine, prayer only works best and consistently if we use it as directed.

    The deceptive current had captured me and was pulling me from my family. Great example of how easily we can make a poor choice. We need to heed the warnings about dangerous currents even when those currents are not visible to us from our vantage point. It is never too late to choose eternal life.

    I have learned that a way to be real is to be able to teach in a way that does not restrict learning. I think that is an injunction against hypocrisy. We need to teach by the spirit, not in front of it or behind it. Do not think we are turning a lesson over…

    What think ye of Christ? “What has Christ done for me?” Anyone may accurately answer this by saying that Christ paid the price of their sins to open the way back to heaven. This doctrine is soothing and familiar. It is for ANY who truly wait upon the Lord. Our citizenship is in the Kingdom…

    I like the way that he thanked even those who said prayers during conference. This is at least the second time this conference that the call has come to choose you this day whom ye will serve. I want you to know how much I love and appreciate my devoted counselors, President Henry B. Eyring…

    Pride, selfishness, getting something for nothing We can do no great things, only small things with great love. “The church is not filling my needs.” That attitude is self-centered and retards spiritual growth. as a mature servant of the Lord, Elder Hinckley would say, “He who lives only unto himself withers and dies, while he…
