Righteousness Has Never Precluded Adversity.

This Is A Beautiful Time Of Year With Spring Beginning To Burst Forth In Many Parts Of The World, Bringing All Of Its Colors, Scents, And Cheerful Sounds. The Miracle Of The Changing Seasons, With The Reawakening And Rebirth In Nature, Inspires Feelings Of Love And Reverence Within Us For God's Marvelous, Creative Handiwork.

...we Need To Strive To Keep Things In Proper Balance. Good Balance Comes In Doing Things In A Timely Way And In Not Procrastinating Our Preparation Or Waiting To Fulfill Our Responsibilities Until The Last Minute.

The Words Of The Lord Are Found In The Scriptures And The Teachings Of The Apostles And Prophets. They Provide Us Counsel And Direction That, When Followed, Will Act Like A Spiritual Life Jacket And Will Help Us Know How To Hold On With Both Hands.

We Need To Commit To Serve The Lord And Our Communities With The Same Diligence And Faith That The Pioneers Had. We Must Ever Be On Our Guard That We Do Not Become Casual In Keeping God's Commandments, In Abiding By His Laws, And In Being Honest And Trustworthy In All That We Do.

We Cannot Foresee What The Lord Has In Mind For Us. Our Only Course Of Action Is To Be Prepared And Worthy For Whatever He Requires. We Must Govern Our Actions Every Day With Our Future In Mind.
