Freedom of Choice

Gordon B. Hinckley, President of the Mormon Church, April 1998:

We must and can respect other religions, and must do so. We must recognize the great good they accomplish. We must teach our children to be tolerant and friendly toward those who are not of our faith. We can do work with those of other religions in the defense of those values which have made our civilization great, and our society distinctive. We can and do work with those of other religions in various undertakings in the everlasting fight against social evils which threaten the treasured values which are so important to all of us. These people are not of our faith but they are our friends, neighbors, in a variety of causes. We are pleased to lend our strengths to their efforts.A most complete, fair, and respectful discourse on freedom of choice, given in Ireland: http://www.religiousfreedom.com/conference/Germany/kearney.htm

The Bees and the Poppy Fields

The clover fields were more distant than the poppy fields. So the bees went out during the day to the poppy fields which were closer, and came back at night. They did this all year.

That winter, the beekeeper found that there was no honey. They had done what was easier and more enjoyable.

Leaves of Many Colors - an Interesting Tapestry of Differences

Trees in fall, all different colors
In the summer, they looked much the same
Differences make it interesting
So it is with different culture, people and such.
We need to explore things that are different and people that are different than we are.

Then in the spring, you go out and look up into the leaves of the towering maple trees. Millions of leaves. Each turned slightly differently, each reaching for the light.

It's like us, except: are we each reaching for the light?

Some reach for the darker side, some aren't growing.

The Lord and his described ways are the only source of true light, knowledge, and happiness.
