D&C 38:24-27

And let every man esteem his brother as himself, and practice virtue and Holiness before me. And again I say unto you, let every man esteem his brother as himself.

For what man among you having 12 sons, and is no respecter of them, and they serve him obediently and he say it unto the one: Be thou clothed in robes and sit thou here; and to the other: Be thou clothed in rags and sit thou there - and looketh upon his sons and sayeth I am just?

Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, Be one; and if ye are not one, ye are not mine.

This is the scripture that precipitated the Personal Storehouse Project (PSP). Our stake realized they have members clothed in robes and other members and rags and they needed to address that problem.

I wish lawmakers on every level would do the same. No law should benefit one group over another and cause or support inequality. The job of the government is to create opportunities for ALL. Liberty and justice for all. One nation, under God, indivisible - undivided, ONE.

(The Personal Storehouse Project was a welfare initiative in SE Michigan where mentors worked with struggling families to teach them the principles of self-reliance.)
