"Spirituality--our true aim--is the consciousness of victory over self and of communion with the infinite. Spirituality impels one to conquer difficulties and acquire more and more strength. To feel one's faculties unfolding and truth expanding the soul is one of life's sublimest exerpiences. Would that all might so live as to experience that ecstasy!"
-President David O. McKay

Monthly:

It has been such a blessing in our lives, even in just these couple of weeks, for us to schedule a time each day to do our scripture study and prayers each day. It helps us to remember to put the Lord first and do those things that hold our lives together like glue. We both look forward to General Conference this weekend hear from the Lord's servants.
