LET THE MOUNTAINS SHOUT FOR JOY

"Let the mountains shout for joy,

and all ye valleys cry aloud;

and all ye seas and dry lands

tell the wonders of your Eternal King!

And ye rivers, and brooks, and rills,

 flow down with gladness.

Let the woods and all the trees of the field

 praise the Lord;

and ye solid rocks weep for joy!

And let the sun, moon, and the morning stars

 sing together,

and let all the sons of God shout for joy!

And let the eternal creations

declare his name forever and ever!

- D&C 128:23

GOD'S PLANS

"As the heavens are higher than the earth,

God's work in your life is bigger than the story

you'd like that life to tell. His life is bigger than

your plans, goals or fears.

To save your life, you'll have to lay down your

stories and, minute by minute, day by day,

give your life back to him."

- Adam S. Miller

A POLISHED SHAFT

"I am like a huge, rough stone rolling down

from a high mountain, and the only polishing

I get is when some corner gets rubbed off

 by coming in contact with something else,

 striking with accelerated force - 

all hell knocking off a corner here and a corner there. 

Thus I will become a smooth and polished shaft 

in the quiver of the Almighty."

- Joseph Smith

A DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM

"It is the mark of a descendant of Abraham

- Miller, "Abraham, Friend of God", p 79-80

MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER

I am my father's daughter

I am the accumulation of the dreams 

of generations

And their stories live in me like holy water

I am my father's daughter

- Jewel, "My Father's Daughter"
