If you are a local church or non-profit, you live and die with volunteers.

The more you expect from a volunteer the more you get.

We ask our volunteers, "Do you work here?" They say, "Not yet."

Two primary ways to keep volunteers motivated - Food and T-shirts.

In a volunteer organization there has to be time for community.

Attractive labels are usually attached to the most dangerous programs, often in the name of public welfare and personal security.

An almost forgotten means of economic self-reliance is the home production of food. We are too accustomed to going to stores and purchasing what we need.

Faithful attendance at Church meetings brings blessings you can receive in no other way.

A young woman who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord.

One of the standards on which your happiness is based, now and in your future, is moral purity.

Years of happiness can be lost in the foolish gratification of a momentary desire for pleasure.

One of Satan's most frequently used deceptions is the notion that the commandments of God are meant to restrict freedom and limit happiness.

Do not leave yourself or your family unprotected against financial storms... Build up savings.
