About Me
- Diane
- My faith guides me and gives me strength and hope...My family I hold in my heart and find great joy in...My friends are valued for their influence, shared talents and good times.
The greatest
man in history, named Jesus, had no servants, yet they called him master.
Had no degree, yet they called him teacher.
Had no medicine, yet they called him healer.
Had no army, yet kings feared him.
He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world. He committed no crime,yet they crucified him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet he lives
today!
“We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour,
each day, making choices. We choose the thoughts we
allow ourselves to think, the passions we allow ourselves
to feel, and the actions we allow ourselves to
perform. Each choice is made in the context of whatever
value system we’ve selected to govern our lives. In
selecting that value system, we are, in a very real way,
making the most important choice we will ever make."
Benjamin Franklin
1706-1790
Self-Reliance
"Without self-reliance one cannot exercise these innate desires to serve. How can we give if there is nothing there? Food for the hungry cannot come from empty shelves. Money to assist the needy cannot come from an empty purse. Support and understanding cannot come from the emotionally starved. Teaching cannot come for the unlearned. And most important of all, spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually weak."

Freedom and Liberty to God's Country
As members of society, we should appreciate freedom and promote the responsible use of it. Freedom of speech, freedom of action within boundaries that do not infringe upon the liberty of others are...divine gifts "essential to human dignity and human happiness."
Liberty may be either helpful or fatal according to the use made of it,..."Liberty is an atmosphere of the higher life....Liberty? - It is respect,...Men must be made capable and worthy of [liberty], otherwise public life becomes impossible." True liberty in individuals consist in the enjoying of every right that will contribute to one's peace and happiness, so long as the exercise of such a privilege does not interfere with the same privilege in others. It consists not in doing what one likes to do, but in doing what one ought to do. It is the right of each individual to be master of his own time and actions consistent with fairness and justice to his fellow men and with harmony with the laws of God. ....It is freedom of choice, a divine gift, and essential virtue in a peaceful society.
In these days of uncertainty and unrest, liberty-loving people's greatest responsibility and paramount duty is to preserve and proclaim the freedom of the individual, his relationship to Deity, and...the necessity of obedience to the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ- only thus will mankind find peace and happiness. If we would make the world better let us foster a keener appreciation of...freedom and liberty.
Ninth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints David O McKay
