Tolerance: Monson

"The face of sin today often wears the mask of tolerance. Do not be deceived; behind that facade is heartache, unhappiness and pain. .. YOU be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."

--Thomas S. Monson, "Examples of Righteousness", Ensign, May 2008, 65–68

Southern Relish: Ford

We aren't slow in the South; we just savor our moments. -- Deborah Ford

Prayer of Thanks: Meister Eckhart

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. -- Meister Eckhart
