Dear parents, Jasmine was in a relationship with a dirty homeless boy named Aladdin. Snow White lived alone with 7 men. Pinnochio was a liar. Robin Hood was a thief. Tarzan walked around without clothes on. A stranger kissed Sleeping Beauty and she married him. Cinderella lied and snuck out at night to attend a party. You can't blame us. We were taught to rebel since a young age.

QUOTES

"Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ." --Sheila Walsh
The fire of yesterday's testimony can warm us for only so long. It needs constant nourishment to keep burning brightly.
"Fear and Faith have something in common. They both ask us to believe in something we cannot see." --Joel Osteen
"I can't. I have quidditch." --Jennifer
If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?
“Things of the Spirit need not – indeed should not – require our uninterrupted time and attention. Ordinary work-a-day things occupy most of our attention. And that is as it should be. We are mortal beings living in this physical world. Spiritual things are like leavening. By measure they may be very small, but by influence they affect all that we do.” --Pres. Boyd K. Packer
“The Lord isn’t asking us to load up a handcart; He’s asking us to fortify our faith. He isn’t asking us to walk across a continent; He’s asking us to walk across the street to visit our neighbor. He isn’t asking us to give all of our worldly possessions to build a temple; He’s asking us to … attend regularly the temples already built. He isn’t asking us to die a martyr’s death; He’s asking us to live a disciple’s life.”

SOME BOOKS (mostly non-fiction) I HAVE ENJOYED
