One sees a blatant disregard for the precious souls of mankind.

Self-discipline is a rigorous process at best; too many of us want it to be effortless and painless.

Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.

Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.

I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples.

Along that straight and true path there are other goals: missionary service, temple marriage, Church activity, scripture study, prayer, temple work. There are countless worthy goals to reach as we travel through life. Needed is our commitment to reach them.

Our Heavenly Father can appreciate our love for Him by how well we serve Him and how well we serve our fellowmen.
