Contributed by Robert Butler on Apr 12, 2021

Wisdom is merely seeing life from God’s perspective and responding accordingly. It does not happen by chance. It is given by God to those who pursue, test and prove its value.

<The owl commercial launches the message> Did you know that that commercial is almost 50 years old? It’s memorable. It points to a question, provides a practical experiment and even an answer. However, the wise old owl is only validating his own personal knowledge and experience so is that ...read more

A House Is Not A Home

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 3, 2001

Christ comes to dwell in our messy, imperfect homes, just as they are, to build love, not a museum-like perfection.

Let me tell you a tale of two houses. These are the best of houses, these are the worst of houses. See if you ...read more

His own future was uncertain; the nation’s stability was shaky; the confidence of those around him was low; and, most of all, his relationship with his son was in jeopardy. There had been a ...read more
