37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the nameContinue reading “O Jerusalem!”

WISDOM
Not long ago I stumbled across a 2010 address given to a university entitled “Education, A Religious Responsibility” by Russell M. Nelson, MD.
