“It is a time of testing and trial. Like the old ships in Bristol Harbor, there will be times when the tide goes out and it seems as if everything in this world keeping us afloat disappears. We may hit the bottom and even be tipped over on our sides. Amid such trials, I promise you that living and maintaining temple-worthy lives will hold together all that really matters. The sweet blessings of peace, happiness, and joy, along with the blessings of eternal life and celestial glory with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, will be realized.”

                                                                                     -Elder Quentin L. Cook

If we are not in “Shipshape and Bristol Fashion” we can be easily deceived by Satan. One of Satan’s greatest tools in which he uses to gain followers is by making evil look good and good look evil. Check out my post Counterfeit Happiness to learn more, click HERE
