Quote: Goals

"A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it." -- Unknown

I've been thinking a lot lately about the direction life takes us. I know many people who just "go with the flow" -- whatever fits their whim, but never really getting anywhere. I've been guilty of that myself.

What I've come to discover is that it is vital to set goals for yourself -- whether it be financial, physical, or even spiritual goals -- otherwise, we certainly will not attain the heights which are possible, nor live the life of our dreams.

Quote: Achieving Perfection

"Perfection is our ultimate destination. Righteousness, or goodness, is the chariot to carry us there." -- Michaelene P. Grassli (Ensign, November 1988, p. 92.)

Direction for Life

"It matters very little what we are engaged in, it is impossible for us to do right without the guidance of the Almighty." -- John Taylor (JD, 13:221.)

Uplifting Fireside about "The Testaments"

The new film -- The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd is now available on DVD. The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd is a film depicting events from the life and ministry of Jesus Christ as recorded in the New Testament and the Book of Mormon. The story culminates with a portrayal of the resurrected Savior's visit to the ancient Americas as seen through the eyes of a fictional family. The film is now available on DVD. It is a powerful and beautifully done film and would be a great DVD to watch on Easter.

There is a fireside / talk done by Ane Marie and Tomas Kofod (the man who portrayed the Savior in the film, and his wife who helped design some of the costumes). The fireside entitled "Of One Fold and One Shepherd" contains the powerful conversion stories and experiences that Tomas had during the filming of The Testaments. He shares how the Lord tutored him and prepared him to play the role.

Tomas and Ane Marie are very good friends of mine -- and each time I have listened to this fireside, I am touched by the way the Lord is in charge -- and how He has a role for each of us. Both Tomas and Ane Marie have powerful testimonies and you will feel the Spirit as you hear about their conversions to the LDS Church, their experiences and miracles the Lord performed during the making of The Testaments.

A great gift for anyone (especially for Easter) -- it's available now as a download exclusively through LDS Audio. If you would like to pre-order a CD, you can purchase through Latter-day Light Books. If you have seen The Testaments -- you're going to want to hear this fireside! Both adults and teenagers will benefit from hearing these stories!
