MOTHER O' MINE

 If I were hanged on the highest hill, 

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose love would follow me still

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were damned by body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

- Rudyard Kipling

A STREET SWEEPER

"If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,

he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,

or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven

and earth will pause to say,

here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well."

- Martin Luther King Jr (1929-1968)

VISION

"Every dispensation begins with a vision. We must have a vision. We must  believe in miracles. We must believe and build on what our forefathers have done......if this is God's work, and if He still lives, then the miracles and angels are still there. We must live up to our potential. God will bless us with whatever we need. God wants us to just see what He sees, and know what He knows. He wants us to ratchet up the vision. God is easy to please, and hard to satisfy.....This is not convenient, easy work. We have got to take things to the edge. We have to move into the realm of the miraculous. We have to live in such a way that we cannot do it alone anymore - where we will resort to the Lord - where we will cry, 'Without thy help, I will fail. Help me fly.' Go to the edge where miracles happen. Move into the realm of the miraculous. Welcome to the apostolic work."

- Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
