The latest installment of my now bi-weekly column in the Deseret News<\/em> has appeared. \u00a0I\u2019m actually a bit late in calling attention to it \u2014 which I regret, because it\u2019s slightly time-sensitive. \u00a0But life interferes, sometimes. \u00a0Anyway, here\u2019s a link:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA feast to learn about the Restoration\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I close with one of my all-time favorite quotations from the Prophet Joseph Smith, followed by another one from him in a similar vein:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile one portion of the human race is judging and condemning the other without mercy, the Great Parent of the universe looks upon the whole of the human family with a fatherly care and paternal regard; He views them as His offspring, and without any of those contracted feelings that influence the children of men, causes \u2018His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.\u2019 [Matthew 5:45<\/a>.]\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0(History of the Church,<\/em>\u00a04:595; from \u201cBaptism for the Dead,\u201d an editorial published in\u00a0Times and Seasons <\/em>[15\u00a0April 1842], p.\u00a0759)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purposes of our God are great, His love unfathomable, His wisdom infinite, and His power unlimited; therefore, the Saints have cause to rejoice and be glad, knowing that \u2018this God is our God forever and ever, and He will be our Guide until death.\u2019 [Psalm 48:14<\/a>.]\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0(History of the Church,<\/em>\u00a04:185; from a letter from Joseph Smith and his counselors in the First Presidency to the Saints, dated September 1840, Nauvoo, Illinois, and published in\u00a0Times and Seasons<\/em>\u00a0[October 1840], p.\u00a0178)<\/span><\/p>\n
