Quote:
“Being stuck serves a spiritual purpose. It’s a bountiful harvest for transformation to occur. It tells us that a change is needed. More than any type of outward change, what’s really being asked of us is an inner change. It could be a change of heart, change of priorities, a change of beliefs, or even a change of perspective.”
― Dana Arcuri, Reinventing You: Simple Steps to Transform Your Body, Mind, & Spirit
Remember: When things get hard, the life about which you complain is only a dream to many people. “Life is like a camera… Focus on what’s important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, take another shot.” Quote:“Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it.”
Quote:“We are either the ones holding the stones or the ones protecting the woman on the ground.”
Quote:“Listen. I wish I could tell you it gets better. But it doesn’t get better.
YOUget better.” – Joan Rivers Quote:Maybe life isn’t about avoiding the bruises. Maybe it’s about collecting the scars to prove we showed up.
Quote:We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.
– Madeleine L’Engle

Nice Ray! That is going on my phone of quotes to be able to pull out at church.Listening to the BoM Discussion on Jacob 1-3, 7… Stanley Johnson said that a Sunday School teacher once asked:
“
Quote:Do you really believe another person’s soul is as precious as your own?”
That certainly stopped the parade of thoughts. Seemed to me that part of the problem of not respecting the soul of others had to do with feeling my own soul was of little worth (or that I even had one?).
This past Christmas season, I actually
heardthe lyrics to “O Holy Night” where it says: “
Quote:Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth…” Reposted from Ann Quote:We are like sailors who on the open sea must reconstruct their ship but are never able to start afresh from the bottom. Where a beam is taken away a new one must at once be put there, and for this the rest of the ship is used as support. In this way, by using the old beams and driftwood the ship can be shaped entirely anew, but only by gradual reconstruction. – Otto van Neurath
I would only add, and often being fatigued with the never ending bailing of water.

Quote:“
Apostasy never came by renouncing the gospel but always by corrupting it. No one renounces it today, and so we have the strange paradox of people stoutly proclaiming beliefs and ideals that they have no intention of putting into practice.
1. Every Sunday we thank God for our beautiful surroundings, which in many neighborhoods are being systematically destroyed by developers all around us.
2. We seek knowledge as our greatest treasure, while the poverty of most of our manuals and handbooks defies description.
3. As a Church authority commented to me after the last Conference, the President’s keynote address on the Book of Mormon was hardly mentioned during the rest of the Conference.
4. For years we hailed the Welfare Plan as a living demonstration of continued revelation—and then phased it out in deference to the private sector.
5. Since the days of Joseph Smith, presidents of the Church have made resounding pronouncements against the wicked practice of needlessly killing animals and birds for pleasure, and have been unheeded; we have just passed a law permitting fourteen-year-olds the pleasure of killing big game.
6. A great and inspired bicentennial message by one we called our prophet was instantly swept under the rug.
7. The oldest and best testimony to Joseph Smith’s first vision has received no attention whatever by the Latter-day Saints since its discovery in 1969, and so it goes.
8. The prophet Joseph studied biblical languages with dedicated zeal to help him understand the scriptures, but such studies are frowned upon by too many in our religious institutions.

Quote:“Sometimes the greatest love is not found in the dramatic scenes that poets and writers immortalize. Often, the greatest manifestations of love are the simple acts of kindness and caring we extend to those we meet along the path of life.”
