"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.
"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through. (Ye Are the Light of the World, Harold B. Lee, p350-51)

Candace,
ReplyDeleteI loved your Turning the Tide show yesterday! You really inspired me and you have made me want to go out and teach someone to read!
I have no children of my own but I simply adore reading aloud books and if I had any children, I'd read aloud to them daily!
You are so inspiring! I love your blog, your articles in the US Daily Review and all your podcasts and radio shows!
Elizabeth-
Thank you so much, Elizabeth. That is very sweet of you to say. It is why I do what I do, to inspire people to greatness. And to me, the greatest thing anyone can give to another is the gift of reading, all else becomes possible then!
ReplyDeleteYour broadacast yesterday about your Dad has been haunting me all morning. Wow.. it really does start with the little infringements upon our freedoms doesn't it and then next thing you know, you've got people electing a Hitler!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hope you write a sequel to "Out of the Shadows.." some day, for I just loved that book!
Thank you, Elizabeth. My father's life has always inspired me to fight hard for America and the freedoms and rights we enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, the sequel to Out of the Shadows is halfway done. I hope to have it out in the first quarter or so of next year.
