I do not believe the LDS Church is true and good
because I am a practicing member.
I am a practicing member
because I wholeheartedly believe that is is true and good!
Crucial distinction

Also, it’s probably not appropriate to wear flip-flops to the temple, but it was okay here. Read here for a brief explanation of why.

For any critics (of any and all levels of levels of indignation/condescension/legitimate concern),
I have an answer for ya that just may freeze hell.
I keep the image of my Church/ family name veeeery clean.

so I don’t mind in the least that my car usually is not immaculate
course I still gotta get rid of some of the crap and vacuum it out sometimes
(line of propriety)
but overall it’s NOT my top priority
AND THAT IS OKAY!
Don’t ever give me crap about my car again (it’s not that bad anyways!). I ain’t lookin’ to be offended, but just don’t talk to me about that subject, k?
ya right, you’re better off tryin’ to freeze hell!

1) Learn more here about the amazingness known as the “Perpetual Education Fund.”
2) I have met a handful men and women who have benefited from the PEF, and it is obvious that their lives have been super blessed because of it!
3) I like the band “Fun” a lot. Here’s one of my favorite songs by them:
When you’re lost and alone, and you’re sinking like a stone….
CARRY ON!
Closing Thoughts:
The Latter-day Saint Perpetual Education Fund has done (and continues to do!) amazing things for men and women around the world who otherwise wouldn’t have the chance to receive an education and better their economic opportunities. It is truly a philanthropic flagship, and I am grateful to pay a portion of my offerings to it every now and then.
PERPETUAL EDUCATION FUND RULES!

It helps bring peace and comfort to my heart!
Natasha B. and John M. have expressed similar sentiments on more than one occasion.
Didja really expect anything different?

is NOT my cup of tea.
Figuratively or literally.
Let it be known that I DO think that Mr. Mortenson has done some excellent things.
Absolutely.
CONTROVERSY. OVERSHADOWS. TALENT.
(click here for an explanation of this ubiquitous
[and sad!] sociological phenomenon)
Sigh.
If you fabricate your facts,
YOU GET FIRED!
~Ellie Graham (journalistic boss character from Runaway Bride)
Oh, and this is tangential, but “Runaway Bride” is one of my favorite films EVER. If you think it is a mindless chick flick, you are dead wrong! There is so much thematic substance in it that can relate to everyone. And I do mean everyone. Plus it’s funny, clean, short, and has the cute and talented Ms. Julia Roberts!
But BACK TO YOU (Mr. Greg Mortenson)
(and this applies to everyone else too!)
O be wise, what can I say more?
Honest is whatcha gotta be
next time you write a book like “Three Cups of Tea”!
More to come on these issues (all of them!).
Much more.
PS. Go count my references if ya wanna

but only because I choose to have responsibilities.
I believe in accepting legitimate criticism and also in getting out of my comfort zone, but if anyone ever tries to force or pressure me into anything in a manner or form with which I am not comfortable in any way at all…
I’M GONE!
figuratively AND literally…
But as is always the case, I am kind and civil about this. Ain’t no James Dean, “rebel without a cause” thing going on here. This is NOT me being selfish or evading (legitimate) responsibility in any way at all.
I desire to work hard and stretch myself to serve others.
Still though. The number 1 person on my list is ME!
and for that I will NEVER apologize…
🙂
READERS!
1) What responsibilities do you choose to have?
2) What is your LINE OF PROPRIETY when it comes to responsibility?
“I don’t answer to ANYBODY. And it’s a lovely, LOVELY feeling…”
