I needed this lesson today. Thank you for writing it. And I'm grateful that I saved it in my email box until I took the time to read it. My teenage daughter has become such an "irritant" in my life, and your closing words, "Irritation is an invitation to godliness" are just exactly what I needed to learn at this moment in time. THANK YOU for giving me the change of heart I needed today to make attitude adjustments and resolve to pursue godliness in my relationship with my sweet teenage daughter.

Another great article. One can always count on Brother Goddard to articulate the loving response to life's challenges.

Leonard Cohen wrote in a song:
"Ring the bells that still can ring;
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything;
That's how the light gets in."
Thank you Brother Goddard for your insight in this wonderful article.

This was fabulous Bro. Goddard. Thank you. Can't quit thinking about it. Can't quit seeing myself in it. It has come to mind so much since reading it. Had to come back and write a comment to thank you for your efforts in helping us understand so much about the Savior's life, the way he saw things and how He stands willing to help.
