Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God's approval.

The philosophies of men surround us. The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance. Do not be deceived; behind that facade is heartache, unhappiness, and pain. You know what is right and what is wrong, and no disguise, however appealing, can change that. Be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.

May each of us remember this truth; 'one cannot forget mother and remember God. One cannot remember mother and forget God.' Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one.

When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes.

It was by faith, nothing wavering, that Joseph saw God our Eternal Father and Jesus Christ, His Son.

The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility.
