...Then – miracle of miracles: That night as the sun went down below the horizon, it didn’t get dark...

...something a young friend of mine said. He said, “Christmas should mean everything the Savior means...

...Imagine if an expectant mother came to your door. Could you ever turn her away?...

...Washington was inspired by these words, and by the powers of Heaven. He did not lie down in defeat...

...The sun went down, but it didn’t get dark. It remained throughout that night as light as at noonday...
