Finding Out Who Really Cares

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 31, 2003

Who really cares about you? Not those who, like Herod, are so scared they will do anything to save themselves. Rather those like the wise men, who give gifts for the future, or like Joseph, who make sacrifices for your protection. For Epiphany.
