It's Great, Except for ...

     Our Sunday School teacher mentioned this poster this past Sunday.  Often we justify the movies we watch, the music we listen to, or the print we read by telling ourselves "it is really good, except for this one small part ..."  Many aspects of our lives can be compromised by such an attitude, such as how we drive.  May we ask ourselves, "What would Jesus do?"

Who’s on the Lord’s Side, Who?

Sharing Your Beliefs

     As I begin my second year of this blog, I bear my testimony that God lives and loves us.  His beloved son is Jesus the Christ, Jehovah of olden time, our Savior who saves us with his grace.  The Holy Ghost will guide all those earnestly striving to know and live truth.

     President Thomas S. Monson said, “This great cause in which we are engaged will continue to go forth, changing and blessing lives as it does so. No cause, no force in the entire world can stop the work of God. Despite what comes, this great cause will go forward. You recall the prophetic words of the Prophet Joseph Smith: ‘No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.’

     There is much that is difficult and challenging in the world today, my brothers and sisters, but there is also much that is good and uplifting. As we declare in our thirteenth article of faith, “If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.” May we ever continue to do so.”

     I testify that as we follow the Savior, we will love as He loved, we will do as He did, and we will be instruments in His hands as we serve.  --john
