President Boyd K. Packer compared God’s plan of redemption to a three-act play—premortal life, life on earth, and life after death (The Play and the Plan, [CES fireside for young adults, 7 May 1995], 1–2). Smoot portrays the second act composed of different pathways and circumstances that influence mortal wanderings. But all pass through the same veil at birth and all must trod the path laid by our Savior to return to our heavenly home.

"We all return to our heavenly home through the anointed path that was paved by the promised Messiah—Jesus Christ."
