Temple. One other word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!

At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.

A testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large.

If you stumble, rise up, go on.

Happiness is inseparably connected with decent, clean behavior.

You cannot force spiritual things. A testimony is not thrust upon you; it grows. And a testimony is a testimony, and it should be respected, whether it is small or large. We become taller in our testimony like we grow in physical stature and hardly know it is happening, because it comes by growth.

The answer is the same for everyone: we must, and we can, resist temptations of any kind.
