Daily Thought:
"The most important knowledge to be gained in this life is the which comes by revelation through the Holy Ghost. This is not to belittle in any way information available in a multitude of disciples or fields of study. But any of individually or all of it put together can never equal the importance of receiving the personal witness, borne on the wings of the Spirit, of sacred things. That witness brings light and certainty and peace." - L. Aldin Parker, Emeritus General Authority
