[God's love can conquer any darkness!]

Two times a year, our Church holds a General Conference during which the Church leaders share inspiring talks. I loved this talk particularly. Such a powerful testimony that God's love & light are stronger than any possible darkness. Such an uplifting talk!

"Healing comes when we move away from darkness and walk toward the hope of brighter light." 

I've gone through some very difficult times in my life. The gospel has healed it all! I don't need to dwell on the terrible things that I went through. I can choose to walk in the light instead. There is no need to analyze every little detail of trials we've gone through. If you just let God in your life, His perfect light is there to chase away any darkness. It works better than any kind of therapy. 

"God's light is real. It is available to all... It has the power to soften the sting of the deepest wound."

"Isn't it wonderful to know that we don't have to be perfect to experience the blessings and gifts of our Heavenly Father?"

"The darkness will surely fade because it cannot exist in the presence of light."

I didn't know who said this until after I made this printable. Someone told me that the quote is by Saint Teresa of Avila.

[thoughts of a Mormon bishop]

Wonder what it's like to be a "Mormon" (Latter-Day Saint) bishop?

Here's an article by one of the many Mormon bishops who work long hours to serve their congregation. Without pay.

I read an interesting article about "Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) and politics. Written by a non-Mormon.

[study aids for children]

I have been trying to decide how to teach the Gospel to our daughter so it's fun and she will understand all the basics. I finally decided what to do. I'm going to use the "Preach My Gospel" manual and make fun study pages for her. Here is the first one I made. It goes along pages 31 and 32. 

I'll continue to share these as I make more.
