When symbolism is wet



Dark the night of sin has settled; Loud the angry billows roar.
Eager eyes are watching, longing, For the lights along the shore.
Let the lower lights be burning; Send a gleam across the wave.
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman You may rescue, you may save.

Hymn 335 - Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy

Singing through the night


"Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel."
Isaiah 30: 29

So close... and yet...


Therefore, sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to God, and the days will come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will.
Doctrine and Covenants 88: 68

Why his name is on my binder



"In my conversation, I shall talk and act as I please. Still I am always aware, when speaking in public, that there are those present who are disposed to find fault with this people, and to try to raise a prejudice against them; and they will pick up isolated words and sentences, and put them together to suit themselves, and send forth a garbled version to prejudice the world against us. Such a course I never care anything about; for I have frequently said, spoken words are but wind, and when they are spoken are gone; consequently I take liberties in speaking which I do not allow when I commit my sentiments to writing."

Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses Vol. 2, pg 179 

I love to see the... two security cameras?


But if it be defiled I will not come into it, and my glory shall not be there; for I will not come into unholy temples.
Doctrine and Covenants 97: 17
