Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson Lesson 20: Feed My Sheep

This lesson is all about sheep. Sheep are stupid animals. Sorry to be blunt, but they are. They are adorable, and loveable, but they do stupid things that require their shepherds to be on the constant lookout for the next dumb thing they do. The majority of the flock is generally safe, but there is always someone wandering off that needs to be fetched back into the safety of the fold.

Old Testament Lesson 39: "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains"

By Ted L. Gibbons

I asked my institute students if they had beautiful feet. They thought I had gone mad, of course, but the question was asked in perfect seriousness. Isaiah’s poetic imagery about the messengers of the Atonement includes the moving assurance that those who carry such a message have beautiful feet. In Isaiah’s time, messages were always carried by runners, and he described those privileged to carry the most meaningful of messages as having beautiful feet.
