Quote of the Week: "Why do we care so much about the approval of others?  Why do we 'aspire to the honors of men' (D&C 121:35) and forget that Heavenly Father's approval is all that matters in the end?  When we allow our decisions to be influenced by the approval of others, we put ourselves at the mercy of fickle mobs, ever-changing fashions, and the devil's whirlwinds.  If instead we seek our Heavenly Father's approval only, we build our foundation upon a rock that cannot be moved (see Helaman 5:12).  And I can think of nothing that will bring us more stability and optimism than building our foundation upon the rock of our Redeemer...I testify to you that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are our greatest cheerleaders and fan section.  We will feel more joy and hope in this world when we do our best to seek and obtain Their approval." - T Jeffrey Wilks - BYU Speech
