• In a general conference talk, President Monson told of a tree destroyed by a metal wedge that had become hidden inside it. He then explained how hidden wedges of anger or resentment can destroy our lives unless we learn to forgive.
• … In many families, there are hurt feelings and a reluctance to forgive. It doesn’t really matter what the issue was. It cannot and should not be left to injure. Blame keeps wounds open. Only forgiveness heals. George Herbert, an early 17th-century poet, wrote these lines: “He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven, for everyone has need of forgiveness.” …
• May we … harbor no hidden wedges but rather remember the Savior’s counsel: “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” Enrichment Activity 1
• I am going to conduct an interview with Noah, his wife, and his family. You get to play the parts!

The Thirteenth Article of Faith
We believe in being honest, true, chaste,
benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all
men; indeed, we may say that we follow the
admonition of Paul—We believe all things,
we hope all things, we have endured many
things, and hope to be able to endure all
things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely,
or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek
after these things.

• How does the Thirteenth Article of Faith apply to the books we read and the movies and television programs we watch?
• Inappropriate movies, television programs, and books are offensive to our Heavenly Father.
• President Ezra Taft Benson, thirteenth President of the Church, said: “Your thoughts will determine your actions, and so they must be controlled. It’s difficult to control those thoughts if you submit yourself to temptation. So you will have to carefully select your reading material, the movies you see, and the other forms of entertainment in order to have good thoughts rather than unwholesome desires” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1985, pp. 47–48; or Ensign, May 1985, p. 36).
• How we can avoid exposure to negative influences and fill our minds with virtuous and lovely thoughts?

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

“… An outward token of God’s covenant with Noah. The rainbow no doubt existed before the flood, but with Noah the rainbow took on a new significance as the token of the covenant.”
JST Gen. 9: 17-25 enlarges the terms of the covenant to include not only that the earth will never again be covered with a flood of water, but also that the Zion of Enoch will return and the Lord will come again to dwell on the earth.”
