Burdens Made Light
August 06th, 2021 by G.
You that have not passed through the trials, and persecutions, and drivings, with this people from the beginning, but have only read of them, or heard some of them related may think how awful they were to endure, and wonder that the Saints survived them at all. The thought of it makes your hearts sink within you, your brains reel, and your bodies tremble, and you are ready to exclaim, “I could not have endured it.”
I have been in the heat of it, and I never felt better in all my life; I never felt the peace and power of the Almighty more copiously poured upon me than in the keenest part of our trials. They appeared nothing to me.
-thus B. Young

I have wondered, if the reason the Brethren has been soft on BYU, is that some of these trials are coming, and will do a better job of weeding people out anyway.
It does feel like there is stormy weather in the air.
