True Messengers or True Messages?

 Many rejected John the Baptist, Jesus and all the prophets because they weren’t what they thought God should use to declare a message. Will we reject his messengers today because we believe they are from the wrong profession, too proud or wealthy etc.? Some think Joseph Smith was arrogant when he delivered the King Follet discourse. Does that make the message untrue? Does a swearing messenger make the message untrue? If someone speaks out when they are imperfect themselves does that make their message false? I wonder how many would believe any of the scriptures if they were contenpories with those that wrote them and knew them personally?

The Widow’s Mite

 I think about the widow’s mite and what is important to the Lord.

This is interesting:

I’ve been to the Vatican and seen their vast amount of relics and precious things.
