Natural Calamities
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Joseph Smith-Matthew 1:29-30

"Behold I speak for mine elect's sake; for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. And again, because iniquity shall abound, the love of men shall wax cold; but he that shall not be overcome, the same shall be saved."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph F. Smith

"We believe that these severe, natural calamities are visited upon men by the Lord for the good of his children, to quicken their devotion to others, and to bring out their better natures, that they may love and serve him. We believe, further, that they are the heralds and tokens of his final judgment, and the schoolmasters to teach the people to prepare themselves by righteous living for the coming of the Savior to reign upon the earth" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 393).

 
LDS QUOTE MEMES

We have added a new section to our website-- Memes!   We recently posted a meme from President Nelson from 1990 and it was viewed more 4,869 times.  That made us think, "Hey, we ought to put this on our website, too!"  So we did! 

This one is from President Thomas S. Monson and we think you will like it, too!
