I was taken aback today when I read a statement by a friend who was highly critical of the talk given by Elder Holland today. It irritated me so I wanted to talk about it briefly… but not directly to him.

What is the purpose of life?
I was listening to a talk recently where a man spoke of meeting an elderly woman while on his mission. She had lived a full life. Her husband had passed and she was then a widow.

The Passion and Suffering of Christ
I was thinking about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ during this Easter season. I realized it was Good Friday. I typically like to watch the Passion of the Christ every year. I usually watch it by myself at night while the family is asleep.
