If I do not know the will of my Father, and what He requires of me in a certain transaction, if I ask Him to give me wisdom concerning any requirement in my life, or in regard to my own course, or that of my friends, my family, my children, or those that I preside over, and get no answer from Him, and then do the very best that my judgement will teach me, He is bound to own and honor that transaction, and He will do so to all intents and purposes.

He is our Father - the Father of our Spirits, and was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being.

I love the Constitution and government of this land, but I hate the damned rascals that administer the government.
