Small and Simple Things
Episode 25: By Small and Simple Things Today I want to talk to you about this concept, found in the scriptures, that by small and simple things, great things are brought to pass. This concept is found in many verses but my favorite reference is found in Alma in the Book of Mormon (Alma 37:6). Sometimes we think we have to be do big amazing things in order to see results.
