Jeffrey R. Holland, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
General Conference, April 2008

Surely they must have rejoiced that ever more convincing evidence of the divinity of Christ kept coming. And so do we rejoice.”

But in real life, if I so much as see her car driving on the highway I remember all the terrible stuff that happened between us, and I feel anything but happy. Damn girls, lol _________________ ~ Charley
