We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Happy 4th of July

Patriotism is not a short frenzied burst of emotion, but the long and steady dedication of a lifetime. -Thomas Jefferson



How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy. -Paul Sweeney

A special thanks goes out to all those soldiers and their families who have sacrificed for our freedoms.
