Do you remember an angel named Nancy Wallace?
As a middle school student around the turn of the century, she played an angel in the Living Nativity Pageant at the First United Methodist Church. That was before she went to college, became a missionary, married, and had two little angels of her own.
Now she’s Nancy Wallace Bradley, who brought her husband, Chad, and daughters Faith and Charity, home from Ethiopia, where they’ve been teaching and preaching for two years, to show the girl ...
At a recent devotional for business college students, Elder Neil L. Anderson made the following remarks:
“For me, there are no words in any language to truly describe the majesty, the power, the glory or the love of the Son of God. Christ came to the earth in the meridian of time and was able to experience the trials and temptations of mortality.

THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF A MAN SHOT by a former Dallas Police officer stunned the world when, instead of condemning Botham Jean’s killer for shooting him in his own apartment by mistake, said something so outrageous, so ridiculous, so weird, that he must have been an authentic believer in Jesus Christ.
IT’S TIME TO MAKE A STATEMENT! Do the very rare thing that has been long forgotten. Show that you are different, “Contra Mundum.” Be a quiet rebel by carrying one simple object that declares, “This is the way; walk in it!” Students, bring your Bible to school on Thursday, October 3, to show that you are not afraid, that you are a person of The Book and that you are the generation that will make a difference for God and country.
