Eqypt, Libya, New Zealand, “Two and a Half Men”. The world is obviously in commotion, and sometimes it starts to stress my EC. Being the optimist that I am, I try and console her by saying “It will be OK sweetheart, it has to get a lot worse than THIS before it gets better.” (Yeah, I’m thoughtful like that)
In Luke 21:9 the Savior said:
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass… (Isn’t that what I said?)
Elder Scott added:
“You have a choice. You can wring your hands and be consumed with
concern for the future or choose to use the counsel the Lord has given to

Elder Scott added:
“You have a choice. You can wring your hands and be consumed with
concern for the future or choose to use the counsel the Lord has given to
live with peace and happiness in a world awash with evil. If you choose to
concentrate on the dark side, this is what you will see. . . . Now the
brighter side. Despite pockets of evil, the world overall is majestically
beautiful, filled with many good and sincere people. God has provided a way
to live in this world and not be contaminated by the degrading pressures
evil agents spread throughout it. You can live a virtuous, productive,
righteous life by following the plan of protection created by your Father
in Heaven: His plan of happiness.”
(Richard G. Scott, “How to Live Well amid Increasing Evil,” Ensign, May 2004)
Unfortunately, Elder Scott did not make any comment regarding gas prices,
or if we should start learning Farsi.

Aaaaaand reposting. 🙂
Marty: Very insightful. But to be precise, it represents 2.5 of the four horsemen.
Really? Tom? You think Mr. MMM laments Charlie Sheen’s TV show’s demise? Or maybe, just maybe, its mere existence is one of the four horsemen.
I am not a huge fan of news because it frequently depresses me. Even Utah Jazz sports this last month has been a bummer. Despite the sad news of Charlie Sheen’s show going off the air, I’m guessing we will still have plenty of opportunities to see him on TV in the future (court room footage)
