Now we see

decisions determine destiny. Oh, so true, but how do we know? We don't, we need to trust in the Lord in all our doings. President Monson gave the following advice at a fireside in 2005 to young adults.

"Now we see coming into focus the responsibility to choose, that inevitable crisis at the crossroads of life. He who would lead you down waits patiently for a dark night, a wavering will, a confused conscience, a mixed-up mind. Are you prepared to make the decisions at the crossroads? I can't stress too strongly that decisions determine destiny. You can't make eternal decisions without eternal consequences."

--President Thomas S. Monson, "CES Fireside for Young Adults", November 6, 2005

And

"We turn with hope...to Him who walked the dusty paths of villages we now reverently call the Holy Land, to Him who caused the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk, and the dead to live. To Him who tenderly and lovingly assured us, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life'(John 14:6)."

--The New Era, April 1991

 Yet, we need to live the commandments, say our prayers & live so that we can have the Lord's guidance at our crossroads.

Today's quotes

Here are some quotes that came directly to the blog!! There will not be any stray files floating around the network.

"We cannot repent for someone else. But we can forgive someone else, refusing to hold hostage those whom the Lord seeks to set free!"

--Neal A. Maxwell, "Repentance," Ensign, Nov. 1991, 30

And another short one.

"Only One who was with God, and was God, can answer the deepest and most urgent questions of our soul."

--Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Ensign, Nov. 1997, 65

Looks like both of these quotes came from conference editions.
