Mercy can purge the soul of sin, making room for a fresh start. Truth is vital in order that we have an unvarying standard by which to determine what we are to be and to do and what we are to rid ourselves of.

When, as President Joseph F. Smith said, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, let us be quietly grateful. When of great truths we can say I know, that powerful spiritual witness may also carry with it the sense of our having known before. With rediscovery, we are really saying I know - again!

Progress is measured by milestones. What many good people lack are markers that might tell them how they are actually doing. Goals can become a ritual or a fetish, but in the right measure they can give us some much needed reference points. No wonder some seem discouraged! Minus such milestones, we often feel minus in our lives
