"The influence of your mother will bless you throughout life. . . .
Long years ago, Elder Frank Croft was serving in the state of Alabama.
While preaching to the people, he was forcefully abducted by a vicious
gang, to be whipped and lashed across his bare back. Elder Croft was
ordered to remove his coat and shirt before he was tied to a tree. As he
did so, a letter he had recently received from his mother fell to the
ground. The vile leader of the gang picked up the letter. Elder Croft
closed his eyes and uttered a silent prayer. The attacker read the letter
from Elder Croft's mother. From a copy of that letter, I
quote:
" 'My beloved son, . . . remember the words of the
Savior when He said, . . . "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you
and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my
name's sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for you will have your
reward in Heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
you." Also remember the Savior upon the cross suffering from the sins
of the world when He had uttered these immortal words, "Father forgive
them, for they know not what they do." Surely, my boy, they who are
mistreating you . . . know not what they do or they would not do it.
Sometime, somewhere, they will understand and then they will regret their
action, and they will honor you for the glorious work you are doing. So be
patient, my son; love those who mistreat you and say all manner of evil
against you and the Lord will bless you and magnify you. . . . Remember
also, my son, that day and night, your mother is praying for
you.'
"Elder Croft watched the hateful man as he studied the
letter. He would read a line or two, then sit and ponder. He arose to
approach his captive. The man said: 'Feller, you must have a wonderful mother.
You see, I once had one, too.' Then, addressing the mob, he
said: 'Men, after reading this Mormon's mother's letter, I just
can't go ahead with the job. Maybe we had better let him go.' Elder
Croft was released without harm."

"all the water in the world no matter how it tried could never sink the smallest ship unless it got inside. all the evil of the world and every kind of sin could never damn a human soul unless we let it in." -ballard

"Persecution
has not stopped the progress of truth, but has only added fuel to the
flame, it has spread with increasing rapidity. . . . No unhallowed hand can
stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine,
armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth
boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent,
visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till
the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say
the work is done."

packin up my crap. leavin for awhile.
dont know when ill be back. just dont stay up all night.
i find when life is hard, just turn your back and smile.
you need to keep movein on, no naping. so get out of bed and turn that light back on.
aways trying not to get showned down apon. but its so hard when your game is gone.
just remember to get back up. but just dont test your luck
for fame and glory come another day. dont worry, lose your self in time
because that day is bound to come when you turn your back and smile
