19 Now it was the custom among all the Nephites to appoint for their chief captains, (save it were in their times of wickedness) some one that had the spirit of revelation and also prophecy; therefore, this Gidgiddoni was a great prophet among them, as also was the chief judge.
What would happen if our political leaders had the spirit of revelation and also prophecy? A demagogue is a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power. Most of our political leaders today are demagogues. Gidgiddoni's number one tactic for preparing to fight the Gadianton robbers was to tell the people to repent. That sort of moral leadership is sadly missing in our world.
A place to celebrate all things family. A place to share, remember and dream.

Words of the Wise
We live in a time of turmoil. Earthquakes and tsunamis wreak devastation, governments collapse, economic stresses are severe, the family is under attack, and divorce rates are rising. We have great cause for concern. But we do not need to let our fears displace our faith. We can combat those fears by strengthening our faith.
