We should be patient in developing and strengthening our testimonies. Rather than expecting immediate or spectacular manifestations, though they will come when needed, we should pray for a testimony, study the scriptures, follow the counsel of our prophet and other Church leaders, and live the principles of the gospel. Our testimonies then will grow and mature naturally, perhaps imperceptibly at times, until they become driving forces in our lives.

I know why there must be opposition in all things. Adversity, if handled correctly, can be a blessing in our lives. We can learn to love it.

Our integrity determines what we really are.

If television viewing choices serve as a valid measure of our society, they who choose evil surely are more numerous than they who choose good.

The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life.

The next time you’re tempted to groan, you might try to laugh instead. It will extend your life and make the lives of all those around you more enjoyable.

The place to cure most of the ills of society is in the homes of the people.
