Let Freedom Ring

This week at SVU there was an education conference and I was able to go to the opening speaker on Friday and most of the speakers on Saturday. It was a great conference with very qualified people that gave insight into the situation in the world today regarding feelings from both within and without our country about America. Some gave stirring remarks about our country and rekindled feelings of patriotism. Others raised the voice of warning about the unrighteous state of the people and challenged us to speak up for righteousness. I came away with a better understanding of D&C 88:81
as I came to know that I indeed have been warned.
I purchased a book by one of the speakers, Douglas F Brinley, called America in Peril, Ten stages in the destruction of the promised land.He is a professor of Church History at BYU and gave a very thought provoking presentation. After he had written the book the publisher said "we would love to publish it but isn't there any GOOD news?" He then added the final chapter "America's Hope". I'll let you know how the reading goes! I am so grateful that I can live here and have access to all these wonderful avenues of learning.
