Christmas is a glorious time of the year, simple in origin, deep in meaning, beautiful in tradition and custom, rich in memories, and charitable in spirit.

The world around you is not equipped to provide the help you need to make it through this often treacherous journey.

The battle for self-discipline may leave you a bit bruised and battered but always a better person.

This is not a time for fear, brethren, but rather a time for faith - a time for each of us who holds the priesthood to be his best self.

The battle for self-discipline may leave you a bit bruised and battered but always a better person. Self-discipline is a rigorous process at best; too many of us want it to be effortless and painless. Should temporary setbacks afflict us, a very significant part of our struggle for self-discipline is the determination and the courage to try again....Eternal life in the kingdom of our Father is your goal, and self-discipline will surely be required if you are to achieve it.

Love is the catalyst that causes change. Love is the balm that brings healing to the soul.

We cannot truly love God if we do not love our fellow travelers on this mortal journey.
