We should remember that none of us is perfect and none of us has children whose behavior is entirely in accord with exactly what we would have them do in all circumstances.

And young women, please understand that if you dress immodestly, you are magnifying this problem by becoming pornography to some of the men who see you.

We need to lay hold on the feelings and try to control them to keep us from getting into a circumstance that leads to sinful behavior.

It is not enough that we are under call or even that we are going in the right direction. The timing must be right.

Tolerance obviously requires a non-contentious manner of relating toward one another’s differences. But tolerance does not require abandoning one’s standards or one’s opinions on political or public policy choices. Tolerance is a way of reacting to diversity, not a command to insulate it from examination.

Let us give thanks for what we are and for the circumstances God has given us for our personal journey through mortality.

Service that is given with little or no thought of personal advantage is an ideal to pursue for a lifetime.
