As We Gather Once Again


 Click for the talk

Quote 1: "Should there be changes which need to be made in your life, may you find the incentive and the courage to do so as you listen to the inspired words which will be spoken. May each of us resolve anew to live so that we are worthy sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father."

Thought: I hadn't thought about it before, but making changes in your life require courage. I would add persistence and a continual change of heart. I love the courage bit though. I want to be courageous!

Quote 2: "We come together as one, speaking many languages, living in many lands, but all of one faith and one doctrine and one purpose."

Thought: This sounds an awful lot like one of the definitions of Zion. Are we on our way to this? Can we really bring ourselves to be of one mind and one heart to have peace and form Zion on earth?

Quote 3: "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."

Thought: Even as the world goes downhill, there are many things we can find in the world that are beautiful and spiritual. Which do I seek out?
