The birth of a true poet is neither an insignificant event nor an easy delivery.

. . . the number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of greater importance. Let us open our eyes and see the heavy hearts, notice the loneliness and despair let us feel the silent prayers of others around us and let us be an instrument in the hands of the Lord to answer those prayers.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf

. . . Our Lord humbles in order to raise up, and allows the suffering of interior and exterior afflictions in order to bring about peace.

In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection, he stated. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered. ... Do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?
Benjamin Franklin

Michael Jackson is the reason why I do music and why I am an entertainer. I am devastated by this great loss, and I will continue to be humbled and inspired by his legacy. My prayers are with his family. Michael will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. He's the greatest, the best ever. No one will ever be better.
