God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but we are not. Each day, ours is the challenge to access the power of the Atonement so that we can truly change, become more Christlike, and qualify for the gift of exaltation and live eternally with God, Jesus Christ, and our families. For these powers, privileges, and gospel gifts, thanks be to God!
When we love somebody, we show it by doing something nice. So learn to serve: find a need and fulfill a need. Surprise people with a good deed they hadn't planned on. We have that opportunity at home, at school, and at church.
A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.
Make the Sabbath a delight by rendering service to others.
Faith in God engenders a love for the Sabbath; faith in the Sabbath engenders a love for God. A sacred Sabbath truly is a delight.

When priorities are proper, the power to endure is increased. And when internalized, those priorities will help keep you from "going overboard."
No other work transcends that of righteous, intentional parenting.
When priorities are in place, one can more patiently tolerate unfinished business.
Truth is truth! It is not divisible, and any part of it cannot be set aside.
Could an explosion in a printing shop produce a dictionary?
Eternal principles that govern happiness apply equally to all.
Contemplation of life after retirement and life after death can help you deal with contemporary challenges.
The development of faith in the Lord is an individual matter. Repentance is also an individual matter. Only as an individual can one be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. Each of us is born individually; likewise, each of us is "born again" individually. Salvation is an individual matter.
