Outlook 2014 Too

History: “A statistical look at the decline of American values” posted in StandUSA.com, indicates “a decline in the traditional values that sustained and strengthened us in the struggles of the past.”  Powerful nations have fallen as a consequence of such a decline.

My predictions for 2014:

In spite of decaying moral values of the world, faithful youth will continue to grow stronger and more valiant, as they find freedom and true happiness in obedience to gospel principles, and follow the Savior, Jesus Christ.  Forever families will be more proactive in fighting for right, and thus more immune to the strains of evil that proliferate around them.  The Light of Christ, with which all God's children are born, will move young and old of all faiths to follow their conscience and combat the designs of perverse, power-hungry men everywhere. 
“The Light of Christ is the divine energy, power, or influence that proceeds from God through Christ and gives life and light to all things. The Light of Christ influences people for good and prepares them to receive the Holy Ghost. One manifestation of the Light of Christ is what we call a conscience.”  – lds.org/topics

The Holy Ghost will continue to inspire good men and women to find cures, create treasures in the arts, and invent products that benefit our world.  New electronic time-saving devices and research systems will enable more family history and temple work to be done.  At the same time, as if by some master plan, sharing and collaboration among extended-family members will reach a new high, involving (and saving) more youth in the process.  As individuals and as a people, we can climb to new heights this year.  
I predict.
