It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always.

Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the source of spiritual power that will give you and me the assurance that we have nothing to fear.

Let us remember that the Savior is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and there can be no greater promise than to know that if we are faithful and true, we will one day be safely encircled in the arms of His love (see D&C 6:20). He is always there to give encouragement, to forgive, and to rescue. Therefore, as we exercise faith and are diligent in keeping the commandments, we have nothing to fear from the journey.

The Lord does not want us to "miss supper." In fact, He has a great feast prepared for those who return clean and pure through the door.

Small events and choices determine the direction of our lives just as small helms determine the directions of great ships.

Jesus Christ can help us fix anything that needs fixing in our lives.

Be involved; be informed. Try to be understanding and tolerant and to appreciate diversity.
