Lost In Wonder, Love, And Praise

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 26, 2008

Who Lost His Head?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 18, 2008

When we lose our ways emotionally or spiritually, we hurt ourselves and others. Herod, Herodias and Salome demonstrate the ways we can be seduced into losing our heads. John only lost his physical head but not his integrity.

"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their ...read more
