SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Acts 17:28-29

"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."
 
Ezra Taft Benson
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ezra Taft Benson

"Children need to know who they are in the eternal sense of their identity. They need to know that they have an eternal Heavenly Father on whom they can rely, to whom they can pray, and from whom they can receive guidance. They need to know from whence they came so that their lives will have meaning and purpose" ("Salvation-A Family Affair," Ensign, July 1992).

Be Ye Therefore Perfect--Eventually

CHAPTER 6: THE POWER OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

By the time we had finished baking, we had a grand total of 30 dozen -- 360 cookies -- spread across the table.  We carefully counted them out so there would be enough for each family and wrapped them in aluminum foil with a nice little tag on each package. We had our Christmas gifts!

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
January 18

For more events in Church History

1827 - Joseph Smith, Jr. and Emma Hale are married by Zachariah Tarbell in South Bainbridge, New York.  The couple met while Joseph was working for Josiah Stowell and boarding with Emma's father, Isaac Hale. 

1843 - The Prophet Joseph, with his wife Emma, hosted a dinner party at the mansion house in Nauvoo, Illinois, to celebrate Joseph's deliverance from the Missouri legal proceedings.  Joseph and Emma waited on over seventy guests during the party.  The Prophet recorded that "Many interesting anecdotes were related by the company, who were very cheerful, and the day passed off very pleasantly" (History of the Church, 5:253).

As we planned to expand the "Today in Church History" section and add new material, it was decided to provide a link to our new website to keep the email to a manageable size with a simple link to provide you with the additional information.  We hope you will enjoy the additional history and other material in the future.  Thank you for your patience as our website comes online and we adjust to these changes.
