Quotations

In those days—the “dark ages” of my life—I had to fight daily for the determination to simply get through the day. I had everything—the gospel, a beautiful family, no devastating health problems or financial concerns. Yet nothing could cheer me.

I expect to experience trials, challenges, and heartbreaks as I travel through this life. At the same time, I rejoice in the realization that through the Spirit, and through following principles of correct living, I can find light in the midst of it all.
