Our Efforts ARE Important!

The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson 

"As we live the commandments of God, 

we can look forward with  joyful anticipation to the 

Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and know that through 

our efforts we are worthy, with our loved ones,

 to dwell in His presence for all eternity."

(emphasis added by Cassie Manger)

How Can He Still Love Me??

Sister Bonnie D. Parkin

Eternally Encircled in His Love

October General Relief Society Meeting 2006

"I know of a young mother with five little children who called an older sister, her valued mentor, and asked, "can we go on a hike?" Her friend knew that meant she needed to talk. Halfway through an eight-mile loop, the young mother finally said, "I just can't believe that Heavenly Father loves me; I've made lots of mistakes in my life. I can't feel that I'm worthy of His love; how can He possibly love me?" Sisters, this was a woman who made temple covenants and was active in the Church."

Self Help Books or the Scriptures???

True doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior quicker than a study of behavior will improve behavior.

- President Boyd K. Packer

Do Not Fear

In Light of Recent Events.......

"We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders."

~Maya Angelou

The Cycle of Pride~~~~~~~~

"I find it interesting that the meanest life,

 the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, 

but as human beings become more affluent,

 as their living standard and style begin

to ascend the material scale,

 God descends the scale of responsibility 

at a commensurate speed." 

~Maya Angelou

Do Your Very Best!

MAYA ANGELOU

"You did what you knew how to do, and when you knew better, you did better."

~Feelings~

MAYA ANGELOU

People will forget what you said

People will forget what you did

But people will never forget how you made them feel.
