Storms are inescapable

The storms will still beat at our doors from time to time, for they are an inescapable part of our existence in mortality.  We, however, will be far better equipped to deal with them, to learn from them, and to overcome them if we have the gospel at our core and the love of the Savior in our hearts. (President Thomas S. Monson, General Conference, October 2011)  Remember, the rains fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon the houses of BOTH the foolish and the wise men, but it was the wise man whose house fell not for it was founded upon a rock (the teachings of the Savior and His prophets).
