Quotes from LDS Living magazine, May/June 2022

Ed Willis, Panther to Priesthood

“I believe that the wedge between white and Back, or men and women, or other cultures, is authored by the enemy of all humankind.  Period.  And I also realize that racism is a learned thing.  So don’t let that issue keep you from the gospel, or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, because the racism aspect is from people; it’s not in the doctrine of the Church to be racist against any people….

“,,,in spite of what the status quo might mean for you, or what the enemy, which is Satan, might want for you–that doesn’t matter to God.  Because God loves you equally as everyone else.”  

From Erin Hallstrom, Associate Publisher

“In this issue, we read the story of a woman named Karin who seems to have experienced more trials in life than the average person (“Winter Never Lasts Forever,” p. 40).  But Karin makes a beautiful analogy about how trials are seasons we pass through.  For me, viewing a trial as a season that will change allows for hope and gives needed perspective.”
