The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is also the God of Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah, and the wives of the patriarchs offer powerful examples of righteous living in difficult times.
During the early part of this new year, our family made a point of reflecting on the life and teachings of the Savior. Through this reflection, it has become even more apparent how the lessons and parables Christ taught still have significance in our day. Given the confusion and turbulence of our time, the state of the world, and the conditions of families and individuals, we are all in desperate need of His counsel.

It is the fast-flowing, churning, and tumbling water that is purified, not the water that sits.
