QUOTE OF THE DAY

Joseph Smith

"All persons are entitled to their agency, for God has so ordained it. He has constituted mankind moral agents, and given them power to choose good or evil; to seek after that which is good, by pursuing the pathway of holiness in this life, which brings peace of mind, and joy in the Holy Ghost here, and a fulness of joy and happiness at His right hand hereafter; or to pursue an evil course, going on in sin and rebellion against God, thereby bringing condemnation to their souls in this world, and an eternal loss in the world to come” (Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p.213).

Dear readers,

I'm still in recovery and can only get out the daily devotional occasionally-weekly. Thank you for your encouragement and your many emails. Hopefully soon all will be back to normal.

Thank you again,
