Keeping the Sabbath day holy is much more than just physical rest. It involves spiritual renewal and worship.
The overwhelming message of the Atonement is the perfect love the Savior has for each and all of us. It is a love which is full of mercy, patience, grace, equity, long-suffering, and, above all, forgiving.
I believe there is a strong familial pull as the influence of beloved ancestors continues with us from the other side of the veil.
Young women should realize that young men they date will not honor and respect them if they have been involved in moral transgression.
I have the greatest respect for single parents who struggle and sacrifice, trying against almost superhuman odds to hold the family together. They should be honored and helped in their heroic efforts. But any mother's or father's task is much easier where there are two functioning parents in the home.
In many ways, each of us is the sum total of what our ancestors were. The virtues they had may be our virtues, their strengths our strengths, and, in a way, their challenges could be our challenges.
