Yesterday we went to the memorial service for Dale Kinnick...it was well attended...there is a website if you have any memories of Dale you want to share with their family..they love hearing memories...it is www.MeM.com.
There is a new LDS website that is youth-oriented at ABrandNewYear.lds.org or via a link through lds.org...........it is a multimedia supplement with MP3 music downloads...from a special program.
An article in the church news called" Challenges test our courage "said some of these things......... Everyone remember, challenges test our courage !!! "Courage " appears 41 times in the scriptures. In almost every instance, other phrases in the verse give us a clearer view of the circumstances surrounding "courage"; "
be strong," "valiant," "be not afraid" and fear not."
There is little call for courage in easy situations or trouble free times. Comfortable lives require no courage Undemanding times provide no seedbed for its growth. While hard times are usually unwelcome, they may be precisely what is needed to nurture courage. Challenges provide the framework for the growth of the most desperately needed virtues, not the least of which is courage. HANG IN THERE EVERYONE !!!!
