3. “The sacrament is the most oft-repeated ordinance for us personally in mortality. Other ordinances of exaltation are performed for us personally only once in our lifetime (baptism, confirmation, temple endowment, and sealing). But with the sacrament, all worthy persons may participate in a personal, intimate way, as often as it is administered by those who are authorized.”

4. “Sometimes we unknowingly pull what would become flowers and leave the weeds. Or we find ourselves wishing we were in someone else's garden. Comparing, competing, and complaining leave us unsettled and dissatisfied.”

5. “An observation I have made of people I have worked with over the years whose lives have become burdened by serious sin is the connection between their actions and their addictions. Most of these individuals did not begin their journey into sin or addiction with an overwhelming desire to experience evil. Their journey began with an unwise choice or an evil deed. Instead of immediately turning away from a pornographic image or sentence, those who eventually became addicted dwelt on what was before them. Drug addiction often begins as an experiment or an ill-advised attempt at recreation. Many adulterous affairs originate with an inappropriate conversation with a friend or coworker. Some lose their faith as a process that begins by reading faithless or other uninspired literature. The evil desire or lust for whatever it is that people become addicted to most often follows an action of one kind or another. Sadly, this love of darkness often turns into an addiction and a way of life. The prophet Isaiah described this perilous process as follows: "And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken" (Isaiah 8:15).”

6. “Woman is God's supreme creation. Only after the earth had been formed, after the day had been separated from the night, after the waters had been divided from the land, after vegetation and animal life had been created, and after man had been placed on the earth, was woman created; and only then was the work pronounced complete and good. Of all the creations of the Almighty, there is none more beautiful, none more inspiring than a lovely daughter of God.”

7. “The mist of darkness will cover you at times so much that you will not be able to see your way even a short distance ahead. You will not be able to see clearly. But with the gift of the Holy Ghost, you can feel your way ahead through life. Grasp the iron rod, and do not let go.”

8. “As sisters we have enough, and even an abundance, to help and lift our fellow sisters. The Lord has put into our hearts the natural desire to lighten the load of our neighbors and sisters. As the hymn says, we are "to cheer and to bless in humanity's name." That is the responsibility we bear as daughters of God in our era or season on the earth. We are under an obligation now, as the Saints were then, to become "as one" by serving each other in an hour of need. How nobly, how faithfully, how bravely we must serve to bring our sisters home.”

11. “Most of my life I have thought saving and redeeming were synonymous because that is how they are most often used. However, the second question in the temple recommend interview is, "Do you have a testimony of the Atonement of Christ and His role as Savior and Redeemer?" The words describe two separate roles, and having a testimony of both is essential. By definition, a redeemer is one who buys or wins back, one who frees us from captivity or debt by the payment of ransom, one who returns or restores us to our original position. However, there is an additional dictionary definition we must not overlook: A redeemer is one who changes us for the better.”

12. “And so it comes down to this when considering the meaning of the cross for us personally: we can ignore it or we can embrace it and die upon it—meaning we can be transformed by it, we can crucify the natural man, we can yield to the enticings of the Holy Spirit (Mosiah 3:19).”

13. “It is not until you and I comprehend the magnitude of our eternal destiny—who we are and Whose we are—and find peace, regardless of life's circumstances, that we reach our potential. Recognizing our self-worth controls ultimately our ability to love God, to love others, to love life, and to love ourselves.”

16. “I have pulled my handcart when I was so weak and weary from illness and lack of food that I could hardly put one foot ahead of the other. I have looked ahead and seen a patch of sand or a hill slope and I have said, I can go only that far and there I must give up, for I cannot pull the load through it. I have gone to that sand, and when I reached it, the cart began pushing me. I have looked back many times to see who was pushing my cart, but my eyes saw no one. I knew then that the angels of God were there.”

18. “The name Emmanuel means "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). Is there a better definition of grace than that? God is not waiting at the finish line. He is not waiting for us to do "all we can do" by ourselves before He helps us (see 2 Nephi 25:23). Rather, He is "with us"—ready, willing, and able to help us every step of the way. In redeeming us, Christ does not just make up the difference. He makes all the difference.”
