Inherent in the ordination to be bishop is both the right and the obligation to be directed by inspiration.

We are not free to break our covenants and escape the consequences.

There are few things more powerful than the faithful prayers of a righteous mother.

No pain will last forever. It is not easy, but life was never meant to be either easy or fair. Repentance and the lasting hope that forgiveness brings will always be worth the effort.
