Merry Christmas! My thoughts are wilth the brave men and women serving overseas and with all the folks in hospitals and nursing homes, as well as those who are without homes, heat, food or warm clothing. I met a young man today who came from the Ukraine to serve a Mormon mission in Utah. I pray for all those who are serving the Lord today, and those who serve God by serving his children.


If more of us would read the teachings of Jesus and spend more time trying to emulate him, this would be a better world. There are many who do so all around us, but they don't get much press. They are the ones who express their charity in good works without fanfare, who live good lives and raise good families.
