The glory of God is intelligence

So exam season is almost over, for some of you it may already have ended. My thoughts and prayers have been with you all. Memories of your own revision and exam experiences linger with you long after you finish your formal education !

In our Church we teach that 'the glory of God is intelligence'. Your hard work and sacrifices during this time are not wasted. This is what the Prophet Spencer W Kimball had to say on the subject:

We encourage our people to study and prepare to render service with their minds and with their hands. Some are inclined toward formal university training, and some are inclined toward practical vocational training. We feel that our people should receive that kind of training which is most consistent with their interests and talents. Whether it be in the professions, the arts, or the vocations; whether it be university or vocational training, we applaud and encourage it.

Anyway, having worked hard as I'm sure you all have, now is the time to enjoy those little indulgences you had to sacrifice for school books for the last few months! and of course, look forward to Young Women's camp which will really be a great time for us all to let our hair down!
