"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden"

The Atonement of Jesus Christ and the healing it offers do much more than provide the opportunity for repentance from sins. The Atonement also gives us the strength to endure “pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind,” because our Savior also took upon Him “the pains and the sicknesses of his people” (Alma 7:11). Brothers and sisters, if your faith and prayers and the power of the priesthood do not heal you from an affliction, the power of the Atonement will surely give you the strength to bear the burden.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,” the Savior said, “and I will give you rest … unto your souls” (Matthew 11:28–29).

Love that piture of Christ!! Anyways thanks for commenting about Obama...or should I say Obamanation!!! Dont get me wrong if he becomes President I will have to support him but I seriously dred it. I really did like him at first but now I can not stand him! About you comment on the war. How many years did it take to build this counrty and we only have 2 parties....it is going to take so much longer to make it happen over there. McCain was a prisioner of war and was in the Militrary for 20 years...at a time of war we need him as a President! Yes his policy on the economy is a little shakey but Palin can help him and so can Romney! Anyways I am going on and on...I love your page! How do you make the header that you have that looks like a scrapbooking page?
