****************************
Joseph Smiths family had many moves that eventually ended up in Palmyra New York where Joseph was given the Gold plates. One person said it was like a rat maze where dividers move in order to guide the rat safely to it's intended destination. - speaker at church

When coal is hot and glowing as embers it has the ability to ignite other coals.  If it is taken from the embers it becomes cold.  If returned to the glowing embers it can reignite and share it's warmth.  So it is with members of the church.  If they will return to the glow of their ward they can ignite and glow once again. -speaker at church

God shows us a glimpse of what we may become

Never look at another person and think theyare less or better than me
