“The end of all activity in the church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity.”

We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit; otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.

When I see an entire community disenfranchised, it disturbs me. Not that I’m a message guy, per se. I write about people. I like to write about human beings, not crap political rhetoric.

I know what I did and how I accomplished it. I am proud of it and know that it was done with integrity.

Now, it is my contention that the deneuroticization of humanity requires a rehumanization of psychotherapy.

Our lives are made up of thousands of everyday choices. Over the years these little choices will be bundled together and show clearly what we value.

If you are burdened with depressing feelings of guilt or disappointment, of failure or shame, there is a cure.

Our whole social order could self-destruct over the obsession with freedom disconnected from responsibility; where choice is imagined to be somehow independent of consequences.

We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.

We are able to feel and learn very quickly through music, through art, through poetry some spiritual things that we would otherwise learn very slowly.
