Dare to Stand Alone

I just watched this video and thought I would share it. It takes courage to do what is right especially when it isn't popular. Just remember, 

"We are never alone when we stand with our Father in Heaven." - Pres. Thomas S. Monson

The Youth of the Church

Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley said, “I love the youth of the Church. I have said again and again that I think we have never had a better generation than this. How grateful I am for your integrity, for your ambition to train your minds and your hands to do good work, for your love of the word of the Lord, and for your desire to walk in paths of virtue and truth and goodness.”

Youth Conference pictures will be posted soon, come back and check them out!

July Stake Thought

A few years ago I had the unique opportunity to study the Constitution of the United States as part of a college English class. I had always heard from our church leaders that the Constitution is a divinely inspired document. However, I never had taken the time to read it or think about it very much. In the times that we live there is a lot of unrest in our government. Many of the laws which people try to pass are against God's laws. So at this time when we celebrate our Independence as a nation I challenge you to find out what that independence means to you. Does it just mean hamburgers, hot dogs and fireworks or does it mean something more?

President Ezra Taft Benson said:
I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed His stamp of approval on the Constitution of this land. I testify that the God of heaven sent some of His choicest spirits to lay the foundation of this government, and He has sent other choice spirits to preserve it.
We, the blessed beneficiaries, face difficult days in this beloved land, “a land which is choice above all other lands.” (Ether 2:10.) It may also cost us blood before we are through. It is my conviction, however, that when the Lord comes, the Stars and Stripes will be floating on the breeze over this people. May it be so, and may
God give us the faith and the courage exhibited by those patriots who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor that we might be free.

Love to you all!
