 My dear young friends, don't partake of the spirit of our times. Look for the good and build on it. Don't be a pickle sucker. There is so much of the sweet and the decent and the good to build on and live with. You are partakers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel literally means good news. The message of the Lord is one of hope and salvation. The voice of the Lord is a voice of glad tidings. The work of the Lord is a work of glorious and certain promise. I do not suggest to you that you simply put on rose-cuttered glasses to make the world look rosy. I ask rather that you look above and beyond the negative, the critical, the cynical, the doubtful, to the positive. I carry with me a statement that I took from an article published some years ago on Commander William Robert Anderson, the man who took the submarine Nautilus under the North Pole from the waters of the Pacific to the waters of the Atlantic. In his wallet he carries a tattered card with these words. I believe I am always divinely guided. I believe I will always take the right road. I believe God will always make a way where there is no way. Said the Lord in a dark and troubled hour to those He loved. Let not your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid. The Lord blessing each of you, my dear friends, with faith, with optimism, with hope, with charity, which are the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I humbly pray as I leave my witness and testimony of Him with you. In His holy name, even the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
