Life moves all too fast. When you feel weak, discouraged, depressed, or afraid, open the Book of Mormon and read.

Dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.

Some people think a miracle is only a miracle if it happens instantaneously, but miracles can grow slowly and patience and faith can compel things to happen that otherwise never would have come to pass.

No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.

There is a falsehood that some are born with an attraction to their own kind, with nothing they can do about it. They are just 'that way' and can only yield to those desires. That is a malicious and destructive lie. While it is a convincing idea to some, it is of the devil. No one is locked into that kind of life. From our premoral life we were directed into a physical body. There is no mismatching of bodies and spirits. Boys are to become men-masculine, manly men-ultimately to become husbands and fathers. No one is predestined to a perverted use of these powers.

If our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.

Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.
