Jeffrey R. Holland : The Tongues Of Angels, General Conference, April 2007
I'm reading his book, Broken Things to Mend (which is absolutely amazing!) An d this conference talk is in it, and I had to share it. In a day, where words are more typed and written than spoken, and emotions and meaning isn't easi ly conveyed, it seems easier to offend and be sharp with other people, intentionally or not. Arguments and debates are started and hurtful words are toss ed around. We need to keep ourselves in check, while dealing with strangers and especially when dealing with ourselves and our families.
"The voice tha t bears profound testimony, utters fervent prayer, and sings the hymns of Zion can be the same voice that berates and criticizes, embarrasses and demeans , inflicts pain and destroys the spirit of oneself and of others in the process."
