The toil and chores of daily worldly life can be taxing, such that it wears on you and seems to drain or sap your energy and enthusiasm. The toil and chores are not just house work or yard work, it refers to the ups and downs of life, your trials and sufferings, frustrations, angers, upsets, burdens and of course, even issues (don’t have issues, then your not paying attention).

There is a new website created by the Church. The site is called, “Jesus Christ, The Son of God” and is located at: http://jesuschrist.lds.org/SonOfGod/eng/?cid=wpats1.
