What is the mindset that causes people to practice such deception? Are they lazy? Do they like to live off other people’s dime? What could possibly make a self-respecting human being live like this?
SAINTS, LIFT YOUR VOICES
But they that wait upon the Lord . . . mount up with wings as eagles (Isa. 40:31).
There is none like Him; None can compare;
No god His equal, no prince His heir!
Lift up your eyes and see His great might!
Soar like an Eagle, on wings of flight!
Chorus:
Saints, lift your voices, tho’ dark your days!
Lift up your spirits, sing out His praise!
Upward the calling, brighter the light!
Soaring like eagles, on wings of flight!
Have you not known Him? Have you not heard?
God is Creator of all the earth.
Lift up your eyes and see His great might!
Soar like an Eagle, on wings of flight!
Chorus
Some will grow weary; Sin they’ll pursue.
Servants of God their pow’r He’ll renew.
Upward the calling, brighter the light!
Soaring like eagles, on wings of flight!
Chorus
Accapella singing Saints Lift Your Voices

A Day in the Life of a Priest
Kara’s unfailing diligence has produced yet another beautiful work of art. We all claim to love children and want what is best for them, but do we put in time and energy toward that love? In view of eternity, do we seek their best good every day?

Besides sewing the past two weeks, the main thing that has kept me from writing lately has been a Bible class project which grew a bit bigger than I originally envisioned (as all my projects seem to do!) We’ve been studying different aspects of the priesthood for a number of weeks, and considering that God has made us a holy priesthood ourselves (1 Pet 2:9,11) and designed the Levitical priesthood to be a shadow of ours (Heb 8:4-5), I wanted the kids to come away with a good grasp of what the priesthood was all about. I asked Mother for suggestions how to make the subject come alive to the kids. “Why not make a book describing each part of a priest’s day, from the perspective of an actual priest?”
Two labor-intensive months later…Mother’s idea is printed and bound, and the priesthood means so much more to me than it did before. I’d…

SLAVERY
The Law Library of Congress features a section about Slavery and Indentured Servants (https://memory.loc.gov/ammem/awhhtml/awlaw3/slavery.html). By studying that category carefully, one is able to understand that slaves were not always of African descent as modern America has been led to believe.
Laws listed there lend credence to recent research by Don Jordan and Michael Walsh in a book called WHITE CARGO. The book has proffered outlandish evidence, but who can say it is false? Have the majority of Americans missed the facts because they were deliberately suppressed in our history books?
The New York Times Sunday Book Review had only favorable comments about the new release—stating in particular that the book uses vast irrefutable documentation (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/books/review/Lau-t.html).
Why Everybody Else Is Happier Than You
Before you read the article, read this:
*HW won out in the argument with her twin The Grammar Mafia and managed to keep the vernacular with the objective pronoun.Now you Grammar Fanatics can rest easier during the reading.
I have a big house, a husband who sees to my needs, a boy I adore, and friends who’ve got my back. But these things are just the facts of a fuller story that no one in the know would envy. Who would think that I who have it all, by appearances, can understand why Facebook famously feeds depression? The Happiest Virtual Place On Earth can feel like one endless taunt of the Things That Are Missing in your life. After a ginger foray into that part of social media this year, I found myself leaving the screen disturbed – and sad – and eventually realized the feelings came from wounds that have yet to heal. Offline, I look at the people around me. My single friends would give an arm to be married. Those with families of their own each have their burden, ones I am grateful to have…
