Devotion leads to peace of mind
Ronald A. Rasband
"As we live with devotion born of faith in Jesus Christ, we will feel the peaceful presence of the Holy Ghost, who guides us to truth . . . "
Ronald A. Rasband.
Devotion leads to peace of mind,
when with Christ we are aligned.
With the Holy Spirit's guide
we can shun both sin and pride.
Truth is not subjective -- nay!
Not when God does lead the way.
Devotion born of faith succeeds
in filling all our wholesome needs.

Netflix Review. Legends of Tomorrow
How to explain the allure of this series? It's goofy and laid back in a way that other shows attempt but do not succeed at. And my Prude Alarm (which I like to think of as a righteous Spidey Sense) never tingles when I watch this show -- even though it's filled with the kind of leftist liberal twaddle that Hollywood dishes out in such massive quantities today.
No, I really can't think of an adequate way to explain this show's appeal. Except, maybe, to say that it's like the real comic books of my gilded youth -- the kind that featured implausible plots and zany villains to such an extent that my prepubescent cerebellum threatened to implode. They have just posted Season Four, and I am binge watching it like it was the World Series.
Is it possible to OD on popcorn and root beer floats?
A Way Out and a Way Up
Jeffrey R. Holland
Fortunately, there was going to be a way out and a way up.
Jeffrey R. Holland.
If mortal life's a prison
(and it seems more ev'ry day)
then finding an escape route
is the only prudent way.
But seemingly all pathways
of escape, with gravity,
descend into the gully
of much broad iniquity.
The only road that takes me
up from whence I came is priced
with believing reverence
for only Jesus Christ.
Freedom from the bonds of sin
comes from one Man alone --
who for me died on a tree
with no complaining groan.
"Walk out and up" he asks me,
and I'll try my best to stride
along the trail he offers
without slothfulness or pride.
