In Proverbs we read, "Open thy mouth for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."

In other words, we can imagine the Savior saying..

"Be a voice for the voiceless..

to suffer the little children to come into the world and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

I hope in today's episode by considering these additional 13 voices, as well as the voices of the prophets and apostles, and ultimately the voice of our Savior Jesus Christ..

that you can find ways in your own life to be a voice for the voiceless and for Him. 

Abortion-An Assault on the Defenseless by President Nelson

Weightier Matters by President Oaks

For the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this episode is dedicated to the heroes and victims of that horrific day.

I hope that after listening to today's episode, you will forever see Christ in the heroic examples of so many who sacrificed their lives that day.

I hope this changes the way you hear the children crying, your own and others', during sacrament meeting forever. 

President Holland's talk on the sacrament 

I hope today's episode helps any child listening learn how to bury their 'weapons of war' that they may have toward their siblings when they feel angry. I hope that instead of fighting, this episode helps them turn to Jesus Christ who is ready to help, shovel in hand, right beside them.

I also hope these episodes, as always, helps make naptimes and bedtimes just a little bit easier. :) 

The Mary & Martha dilemma is something we face as parents every day in keeping a clean home while simultaneously raising children who we strive to teach the 'good part' to daily. 

In today's episode, Seth and I talk about ways to discern the Mary and Martha moments in our lives cleaning our home, and how to remember the Savior even amidst the inevitable messes.
