We’re coming up on that all important day of the year: Mother’s Day. You’d probably get in trouble if you forgot this day, right?
Do you think the Lamanite mothers just sat around and waited for their sons to grow up to be righteous men, or maybe they taught them from the time they were very young? (more…)

And memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
