“It is difficult to look at any newborn baby and accept that he or she will necessarily encounter pain, challenges, disappointments, and hardships in life. Yet even the Savior needed to "go forth, suffering pains and afflictions . . . of every kind" (Alma 7:11), the only difference being that Jesus, though tempted, did not sin (Hebrews 4:15; see also D&C 45:4). Even harder to comprehend, however, was how that precious Babe of Bethlehem, whose birth we celebrate each Christmas, would one day bear the weight not only of our sins but also all our infirmities.” LooksKindPainSufferingJesusDifficultChallengesDifferencesSinAcceptingBabyBearsBirthNeededOne DayWeightHarderDisappointmentCelebrateEncountersHardshipSaviorAfflictionTemptedBabeHebrewNewbornInfirmityBethlehemNewborn BabySuffering Pain Author:Eric D.

“The Church does not superstitiously observe days, merely as days, but as memorials of important facts. Christmas might be kept as well upon one day of the year as another; but there should be a stated day for commemorating the birth of our Saviour, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected.” ShouldYearsWellsMayDoeImportantDoneFactsMightChurchDangerBirthOne DayChristmasMemorialNeglectedSaviourChristmas DayMerry ChristmasChristmas EveChristmas ThoughtsDays Of The YearChristian Christmas Book:The Table Talk of Dr. Johnson: Comprising Opinions and Anecdotes of Life and Literature, Men, Manners, and Morals Source: The Table Talk of Dr. Johnson: Comprising Opinions and Anecdotes of Life and Literature, Men, Manners, and Morals

“It's funny. When we were alive we spent much of our time staring up at the cosmos and wondering what was out there. We were obsessed with the moon and whether we could one day visit it. The day we finally walked on it was celebrated worldwide as perhaps man's greatest achievement. But it was while we were there, gathering rocks from the moon's desolate landscape, that we looked up and caught a glimpse of just how incredible our own planet was. Its singular astonishing beauty. We called her Mother Earth. Because she gave birth to us, and then we sucked her dry.” MenEarthMotherWonderAliveRocksPlanetsBirthOne DayMoonAchievementIncrediblesCaughtLandscapeStaringObsessedOur TimeDryCosmosGlimpseGatheringAstonishingMother EarthDesolateGreatest Achievement Author:Jon Stewart
“At the end of a criminal’s life, it’s always the small mistake, the coincidence, the lark. The time we got too comfortable, the time we slipped up, the time someone aimed a little to the left. I’ve heard Grandad’s war stories a thousand times. How they finally got Mo. How Mandy almost got away. How Charlie fell. Birth to grave, we know it’ll be us one day.
