SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine & Covenants 98:1-2

"Verily I say unto you my friends, I speak unto you with my voice, even the voice of my Spirit, that I may show unto you my will concerning your brethren in the land of Zion, many of whom are truly humble and are seeking diligently to learn wisdom and to find truth. Verily, verily I say unto you, blessed are such, for they shall obtain; for I, the Lord, show mercy unto all the meek, and upon all whomsoever I will, that I may be justified when I shall bring them unto judgment."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph Smith

"Don't envy the finery and fleeting show of sinners, for they are in a miserable situation; but as far as you can, have mercy on them, for in a short time God will destroy them, if they will not repent and turn unto him" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 428).

ARTICLE: "Save It Be One Wife" (Jacob 2:27): A Legacy of Obedience

I jumped on my bike and biked as fast as my legs could move those two wheels down Main Street the mile or so to the LDS Visitors Center.  I parked my bike and quickly walked through the front doors and right up to a young missionary standing behind the front desk.  I opened my Book of Mormon to Jacob 2, pointed to the verse, turned it around to him, and, in a plea for help from a scared, testimony weakened fifteen-year-old, demanded an explanation!
Question of the Day

Q: Simeon Carter is mentioned in D&C 52:27 and D&C 75:30.  Who was this celebrated missionary and what settlement did he help settle in Utah?
