"The genius of the gospel is not that
of negative goodness-mere absence
of what is bad; it stands for aggressive
energy well directed, for positive goodness-
is short, for work."
from: Gospel Doctrine
by: Joseph F. Smith
More Holiness Give Me!!
Today we get to participate in the dedication of another beautiful temple. THis one being in our own backyard...ie. the Salt Lake Valley!!
How blessed we are to have a prophet that feels so strongly that we need MORe "safe havens" where we can find refuge from the storms of life.
Elder John A. Widtsoe said. " Men grow mighty under the results of temple service; women grow strong under it; the community increases in power; until the [adversary] has less influence than he ever had before."
Temples are blessing to our personal lives and to the community that has one within its limits. Thats what I think.
thanks neinei!
