“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.” —G.K. Chesterton So much of the frustration, disillusionment, and bitterness we experience in life comes to us when we’re living like tourists in the world. We had plans, we expected predictable results…
Repentance is not always easy. The hardest part is restitution—repairing the damage, restoring trust, healing relationships, breaking old habits for good. That part can be complex. But one part of repentance is very simple: telling the Lord you’re sorry and calling Him to your…
The true and complete doctrine of Jesus Christ is found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This by no means diminishes the good found in other faiths—we rejoice in it! And, God intends to do more for His children at this late hour than He has ever done before. He…

“It is now time that we each implement extraordinary measures—perhaps measures we have never taken before—to strengthen our personal spiritual foundations. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.” —Russell M. Nelson What “extraordinary measures” are you…
Thank you, Brother Hawkins. The feeling is mutual! 🤜🤛
