His purposes will be fulfilled, and someday we will understand the eternal reasons for all of these events. Therefore, today we must be careful to not overreact, nor should we be caught up in extreme preparations, but what we must do is keep the commandments of God and never loose hope!

It is almost impossible for children and youth to find their way through the seas of life without the guiding light of a good example.

We each shape our own life, and the shape of it is determined largely by our attitude.
