Be Not Afraid.... Only Believe

I voted. We lost. But, history was made and we are a part of it. The first African-American President!!! We can only hope that his "changes" will be for the better. I have my doubts and I have my fears, but we need to move forward and think positive. Instead of dwelling on the negative, we just need to work on being prepared, taking care of our own families, and choosing to be happy because we really are so blessed to live in such a great country and have all the things that we have.

I would suggest we follow some advise from our past beloved prophet, President Gordon B Hinckley. This quote came from a talk he delivered at a CES fireside in September 2001 titled "Be Not Afraid...Only Believe". I believe it is still very appropriate for these troubled times and it gives me a lot of comfort: "As you walk your various paths, walk with faith. Speak affirmatively and cultivate an attitude of confidence. You have the capacity to do so. Your strength will give strength to others. Do not partake of the spirit so rife in our times. Rather, look for good and build upon it. There is so much of the strong and the decent and the beautiful to build upon. You are partakers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel means 'good news.' The message of the Lord is one of hope and salvation. The voice of the Lord is a voice of glad tidings. The work of the Lord is a work of glorious accomplishment."
