January 24, 2012 - Arriving at the Pearly Gates
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." Marjorie Pay Hinckley |
"It is the orthodox orchestration of the many principles found in the gospel of Jesus Christ that is necessary for human happiness ... [They] are so powerful that any one of these doctrines, having been broken away from the rest, goes wild and mad ... [They] need each other just as the people of the kingdom need each other." -Elder Neal A. Maxwell
