Temple Collection
After class I drove to the Provo Temple and snapped some photos. I don't know why but I have this interest in the Provo Temple now. I never did before, but for some reason I like it. I love the architecture and the symbolism behind it. It's been said that the design of the Provo Temple is to represent Moses' Burning Bush. :) I love that ( Read more... ) -

"The Lord has not in view merely the salvation of a few people called Latter-day Saints, who have been or who may be gathered into these valleys, but the salvation of all men, the living and the dead."

Gems-Youth: Revelation
"We do not always receive inspiration or revelation when we request it. Sometimes we are delayed in the receipt of revelation, and sometimes we are left to our own judgment. We cannot force spiritual things. It must be so. Our life's purpose to obtain experience and to develop faith would be frustrated if our Heavenly Father directed us in every ( Read more... ) -

"Fasting brings spiritual blessing. The law of the fast is another test. If we merely go without food to supply welfare funds, it is much of the letter, but in real fasting, for spiritual blessings, comes self-mastery and increased spirituality. "

Gems-Youth: the Gift of the Holy Ghost
"If we keep the commandments 'the Holy Ghost shall be [our] constant companion' (D&C 121:46) to buoy us up, to teach us, lead us, comfort us, and sustain us. To obtain this companionship, we need to ask for it, to live for it, to be loyal to the Lord."

Gems-Youth: Living Righteously
"In his journal William Clayton wrote, 'I've composed a new song--"All is well" ' (William Clayton's Journal [1921], 19). I like that original title, 'All is Well! All is Well!' which explains our lives if we live as we should. We have the outline, we have the procedures, we have the information, and if we can get there and if our lives are spared ( Read more... ) -
Gems-Youth: Example
"We are missionaries every day in our families, in our schools, in our places of employment, and in our communities. Regardless of our age, experience, or station in life, we are all missionaries."

Gems-Youth: Overcoming Fear
"Who among us can say that he or she has not felt fear? I know of no one who has been entirely spared. Some, of course, experience fear to a greater degree than do others. Some are able to rise above it quickly, but others are trapped and pulled down by it and even driven to defeat. We suffer from the fear of ridicule, the fear of failure, the fear ( Read more... )
