Our communications reflect in our countenance. Therefore, we must be careful not only what we communicate, but also how we do so. Souls can be strengthened or shattered by the message and the manner in which we communicate.

Irreverence not only shows disrespect to Deity but also makes it hard for the Spirit to teach us the things we need to know.

Integrity is the core of our character. Without integrity we have a weak foundation upon which to build other Christ-like characteristics.

We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond.

People as well as nations perish without scriptures. The scriptures are spiritual food for our spirit, which is just as important as physical food for our body.

Christlike communications are expressed in tones of love rather than loudness. They are intended to be helpful rather than hurtful. They tend to bind us together rather than to drive us apart. They tend to build rather than to belittle.

Life is not always easy to live, but the opportunity to do so is a blessing beyond comprehension. In the process of living, we will face struggles, many of which will cause us to suffer and to experience pain.
