The August Ensign is filled with some pretty good stuff. Page 25 for example:
No matter how hard we work, no matter how much we obey, no matter how many good things we do in this life, it would not be enough were it not for Jesus Christ and His loving grace. On our own we cannot earn the kingdom of God, no matter what we do. Unfortunately, there are some within the Church who have become so preoccupied with performing good works that they forget that those works--as good as they may be--are hollow unless they are accompanied by a complete dependence on Christ. (M. Russel Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles).
The first presidency message is also amazing. I'll talk more about it when it is published on lds.org.
P.S. Is it sad that there are Harry Potter fan fictions that are written better than the 6th Harry Potter book? I was not impressed.

you disliked harry potter!? that's blasphemous, dan. it was so awesome, especially after the last book! are you sure you read the right harry potter? lol.
i have yet to finish it. I'll let you know what i think.
(warning I give away the ending: )
doesn't serius Black have a brother? (refering to the SAB or SOB or whatever it is) and I am so mad at what Rowling did with snape as a character- and to dumbeldore. she completely robbed him of heroicness. he should have been killed by the poison, not snape. and the halfblood prince should have been the one who left the note after destroying the locket, not SAB. that would added some unity to the book and made dumbledore's trust of snape legit. And the whole love thing with all the characters- so unrealistic. that is just not how 16 year old guys get/react to crushes. the only thing more unrealistic is draco- what a badly written character. like i said, this is the soap opera of all books- the half blood prince felt like a decently thrilling fan fic.
AND who the heck says "snogging"? silly brits. That is perhaps the most disgusting word ever invented to describe something like that. Please. "Hey there hot stuff, want to come to my place to snog it up?" ick.
