Something we can all do better at...

I saw this video on TV the other day and can not watch it without feeling that I can do something more for those who are suffering everywhere...



Here's a devotional that Dallin H. Oaks gave at BYU-Idaho Oct. 13th, 2009. It covers the importance of Freedom of Religion and some on the deteriation of the Constitution by those that threaten the First Amendment:

Here's an interview regarding the devotional's topics:

Elder Oaks has had a front-row seat in observing what he calls the “significant deterioration in the respect accorded to religion” in public life. Prior to his appointment to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Oaks had an illustrious law career. He served as a justice on the Utah Supreme Court, was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School and Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School and clerked for Chief Justice Earl Warren of the United States Supreme Court.
