Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.

God and mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one.

Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives!’

Clearly, one primary purpose of our existence upon the earth is to obtain a body of flesh and bones. We have also been given the gift of agency. In a thousand ways we are privileged to choose for ourselves. Here we learn from the hard taskmaster of experience. We discern between good and evil. We differentiate as to the bitter and the sweet. We discover that there are consequences attached to our actions.

Love thy neighbor is more than a divine truth. It is a pattern for perfection.
