"If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. Articles of Faith 1:13 Sloppy language and sloppy ways go together. Those who are truly educated have learned more than the sciences, the humanities, law, engineering, and the arts. They carry with them a certain polish that marks them as loving the better qualities of life, a culture that adds luster to the mundane world of which they are apart, a patina that puts a quiet glow on what otherwise might be base metal."

Stand a Little Taller - Gordon B. Hinckley
"Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, be cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5 To us, the River Jordan is a sacred stream. The Jordan marked the termination of the wandering of the children of Israel. They had journeyed there from the banks of the Nile. Joshua had led some 600,000 Israelite warriors and their families across the rolling River Jordan during the flood season, when the waters were suddenly stopped and heaped up to allow the faithful Israelites, carrying the ark of the covenant, to cross an empty river bed. ... The baptism (of Jesus Christ) took place in the vicinity of Bethabara. Bethabara in Hebrew means "house of the crossing" ... Could it be that Jesus Christ chose this location for His baptism in the River Jordan as a silent commemoration of the crossing of those faithful Israelites under Joshua's direction so many years before, as well as a symbol that baptism is a spiritual crossing into the kingom of God?"
