There are many ways that we can learn to be more thoughtful, grateful, and spiritual. For many, the COVID-19 pandemic is one of those opportunities. We would be foolish to miss out on this opportunity to search our souls, do a little repenting, and try to be better and kinder.

Instead of passing on the stories of their worst decisions, we can choose to emphasize the times they were at their best.

“Not every statement made by a Church leader, past or present, necessarily constitutes doctrine. A single statement made by a single leader on a single occasion often represents a personal, though well-considered, opinion, but is not meant to be binding for the whole Church.”
