We cannot and we must not allow ourselves to get distracted from our sacred duty. We cannot and we must not lose focus on the things that matter most.

Pause for a moment and check where your own heart and thoughts are. Are you focused on the things that matter most? How you spend your quiet time may provide a valuable clue. Where do your thoughts go when the pressure of deadlines is gone? Are your thoughts and heart focused on those short-lived fleeting things that matter only in the moment or on things that matter most?

It is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions.

Never give in, never surrender, Never allow despair to overcome your spirit.

The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real; it brings immortality to all and opens the door to eternal life. The gospel of Jesus Christ is again on the earth. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true and living.

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not an effort of once a week or once a day. It is an effort of once and for all.

God's love is so great that He loves even the proud, the selfish, the arrogant, and the wicked.
