    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 31, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 4,450 views

    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.

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Some people have acquaintances. But everybody has somebody you do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s a distant relationship, limited just to transactions. Everybody deals with ...read more
