Sketchbook: Sweet and sour

For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it's been a roller coaster these past few days. Looking forward to General Conference, BYU winning a tight match against Colorado in a great game, the passing of Pres. Nelson, and then the horrific mass shooting and subsequent fire at the meetinghouse in Michigan — all against the background of studying D&C 107 and 109 in Come, Follow Me and again looking forward to General Conference!

Many of us, I'm sure, have spent a lot of time on our knees over the past day or two — with more to come!

I find comfort in one of Pres. Nelson's recent messages: "The best is yet to come, my brothers and sisters, because the Savior is coming again. The best is yet to come as we fully turn our hearts and our lives to Jesus Christ."

Let's pray for our brothers and sisters; let us pray for ourselves, our families and our neighbors. Let us pray for the members and helpers in Michigan. And then let us work to make those prayers come to pass!
