L TOM PERRY Quotes

Hello,
Here are some fantastic quotes from L Tom Perry. By the way, I know I was always wondering...maybe you were too. I always thought the L in L Tom Perry was "Larry," but it is actually LOWELL! Wow, I was wrong. Luckily you can't go too awfully wrong with quotes, so here I go.

The Lord has commanded you to take good care of your body. To do this...eat nutritious food, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. When you do all these things...you gain the blessings of a healthy body, an alert mind, and the guidance of the Holy Ghost.

Powerful huh?! I'll have more coming up on nutritious food, exercise, and sleep later on!

(I know, it is super small!) One of the greatest weaknesses in most of us is our lack of faith in ourselves.

Sorry, it was a fail for me. I couldn't find too many quotes. I guess I did go wrong!

(Do you have a favorite L Tom Perry quote? Comment and we'll post it on the blog.)

Boyd K Packer Quotes

Life was never meant to be either easy or fair.

Family time is sacred time.

Prayer is your personal key to Heaven. The lock is your side of the veil, but that is not all. To one who thought that revelation would flow without effort, the Lord said: You have not understood. You have supposed that I would give it unto you when you tookn no thought save it was to ask me. But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind, then you must ask me if it is right, and if it is right, I will cause that your bosom shall burn whithin you. Therfore, you should feel that it is right.
Inspiration comes more as a feeling as a sound.

David A Bednar Quotes

I think Elder Bednar, though he is one of the newer members of the 12, is absolutely amazing and inspirational. I hope you think so too.

Each family prayer, each episode of family scripture study, and each family home evening is a brushstroke on the canvas of our souls.
(Wow, powerful!)

Ordinary people who faithfully, dilligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results.

The Lord knows who we really are, what we really think, what we really do, and who we really are becoming.

Quotes from President Eyring

Finally, I have the 1st Presidency of the Church complete! Tada! Enjoy.

You pass heritage along as you help others receive the gift of charity in their hearts. They will then be able to pass it to others. The history of Relief Society is recorded in words and numbers, but hertiage is passed heart to heart.

Acting on even a twig of faith allows God to grow it.

God not only loves the obedient - He enlightens them.

If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing.

I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down.

Ah Stinkers!

Sorry, ladies. I know some of our polls aren't working right now, so I'll try to get them back up ASAP! Thanks for your patience!

The power of prayer

Hey all!

Many authors that have been invited to do so, write on this blog. This is the first time that I have come up with something to write about.

I just wanted to briefly talk about the power of prayer.

Even when it is super late at night, and you feel extremely fatigued, you always need to get down and pray. Christ sacrificed so much for all of us that the least we can do is pray. I know that it is sometimes hard for me to get down on my knees when it's past midnight, but I always do so, and I feel it's blessings in my life. I also feel that doing so shows your dedication to your father in heaven.

I will be posting more on this blog soon, I hope this post doesn't seem too corny... :)

What to do with...Old Jeans

Hi girls,

Since it is summer and it can get boring, I decided to put some "what to do with" segments on the blog. I've found these ideas online and wanted to share them with you.

   What to do with old jeans?

    Sometimes old jeans are so ratty-torn that no DI would accept them. And throwing them away would be a waste.

     How about we recycle our jeans and pull out some old fashioned homemaking skills (which really aren't so old fashioned!) You could maybe even use this as one of your value projects: Divine Nature, Good Works, etc.

   Here are five ideas of what to do with your old jeans! You can find more at:
