The news from Newtown is distressing. We live in perilous times alright. Which is the title of the last lesson in the George Albert Smith Teachings book. We discussed it in RS today. The solution is not tighter gun control or guns for teachers, or learning karate or locks on doors. It's nothing to do with politics or conspiracy theories.
Here is what President Smith said: "There is only one remedy for the universal distress--a panacea for the sickness of the world. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ." If we are living the gospel in our lives and listening to the spirit, we will be warned and guided and comforted. And if we are killed by someone else's bad choices, it is not the end of our existence. Going on to act three will be exciting.
That is what I believe.

Yes, the gospel is a great comfort in times like these.
We've been getting lots of news coverage on the church members whose daughter died and will be coming back to Ogden for the funeral. Very touching and sad yet also wonderful example.
Really really like GAS.
