This is a beautiful time of year with spring beginning to burst forth in many parts of the world, bringing all of its colors, scents, and cheerful sounds.

M. Russell BallardThe Saviorโs words are simple, yet their meaning is profound and deeply significant. We are to love God and to love and care for our neighbors as ourselves. Imagine what good we can do in the world if we all join together, united as followers of Christ, anxiously and busily responding to the needs of others and serving those around us โ our families, our friends, our neighbors, our fellow citizens.
M. Russell BallardAll the marvels of nature are glimpses of His divine power and expressions of His love.
