Behind the scenes of my blog I can see how many people are clicking on my links. And what’s really cool is that a lot of people are clicking on links to the LDS Church website (over 150 clicks to date!). This fits perfectly into my plan of Mormons taking over the world!

This is one of those songs.
Not only that, but musically it’s a great song as well (blending a ton of instruments/ genres).
Oh, and Shedaisy is Mormon too. Don’t hate that!
And their name was derived from a Navajo word that their brother learned on his full-time LDS mission. Cool!
More to come from these girls. I like them a LOT.
I won’t be your Martha Stewart baby, or your all-night restaurant.
But I WILL be your everything!

are potentially not truly converted themselves!
But I believe that even for those kind of Mormons there is hope
and the possibility of a happy ending!
So let’s celebrate that people can change!
Think about what I am saying here.
How does it apply to you?
Katherine was once a Mormon zealot herself, so she relates to the character of Sam in a way.
But now she’s a Mormon/ Woman/ Human (thank goodness)!
Click here for a bit more on this idea of not viewing non-Mormons as projects…
(but still desiring to share the glorious gospel!)
Click here for my informed opinion on how to NOT argue about religion while still standing up for the Church.
As you might have guessed, I have more to come concerning this topic.
Much more.
Concluding thoughts (only for this specific post though of course)!
Mormons are not always perfect in their approach to sharing their beliefs. I certainly have made mistakes in this regard, (although my intentions were always good). But I strongly believe there is hope, and that members of the LDS Church with an initial tendency to be overzealous can change and find an appropriate, tactful way to spread the gospel and perform “missionary work” (formal or informal) in a manner that respects and edifies ALL, whether or not baptism(s) ever actually occur(s).
It’s a gift, if you get my drift.
Now if I could only have hair as beautiful as Ms. Charly’s I could be truly happy.

is a phrase that I have found to be quite useful as I navigate this journey of life. I am certainly not suggesting that we avoid making any promises, but only that we make sure we don’t get people’s hopes up when we cannot back up our commitments with 100% surety (myth vs. experience). Additionally, we needn’t “run faster than [we] have strength” (Mosiah 4:27) in trying to keep promises we perhaps should not have made in the first place. Now, don’t be calling me lazy! As I have said before, I desire to serve others, get out of my comfort zone, and work hard. Still though, I cannot do it all. Neither can you. Neither can any one person (and that’s okay, ya’ll!) So we must decide what kinds of things are worth the word “promise” (or at least the level of commitment that it implies). But when we do make those promises, let’s make them count!

“I never make a promise I don’t intend to keep.”
~John Michael Montgomery
READERS:
1) What promises have you made (or will make) that are important to keep (family, covenants, relationships, employment, etc.)?
2) What are some aspects of your life about which you should probably not make promises?
And now, one final question:
Is this blog the best thing in the world?

“You’ve GOT to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything.”

“I don’t need a microphone to say what I’ve been thinking.
My heart is like a loud speaker that’s always on 11.”

“Don’t let your mind be SO open that everything falls out!”
“You got opinions, man. We’re all entitled to ’em. BUT I NEVER ASKED!”
O BE WISE! WHAT CAN I SAY MORE?
“Belief is a beautiful armor. But it makes for the heaviest sword.
It’s like punching underwater. You never can hit who you’re trying for.”
“I still don’t know what I stand for. What do I stand for?”
~Fun
“You got your same big loud opinions, but nobody’s listening!”
This post might be borderline offensive with the juxtaposition of some of the people pictured. Once again, I hope to spark discussion and thought without ever making my own OPINION explicitly and fully clear.
intentional ambiguity!
thunderbolt of blasphemy
Ann Coulter is someone who Katherine believes gives conservativism a VERY bad name (for the most part).
“One can have a strong intelligent opinion and even be persuasive
WITHOUT being overly opinionated or pushy.”
~Katherine Anne
LINE OF FREAKIN’ PROPRIETY!
Also, I believe very strongly that the teachings found within the structure and gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
can and will bring us lasting happiness. Thus, I greatly value missionary work.
But I value religious freedom just as much.
Blink and you might miss that there are TWO pictures
of Natasha Bedingfield on this post.
Also, John Mayer is brilliant and has forever changed my life,
but he will be the first to tell you that he has at times had a very stupid mouth (read more about it here).
And Katherine would like to remind you that EVERY. SINGLE. PART. of this post serves a purpose (I don’t believe in fluff, remember?).
Also, I try hard not to toot my own horn too much, but go on and count the number of allusions/references I made in this post………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
HOW MANY DIDJA FIND?

rarely works.
But still know your stuff!
And still stand up for it (the Church).
“Though argument does not create conviction, lack of it destroys belief.”
~CS Lewis
Here is an interesting talk that is somewhat (though not directly)
related to this idea.
Overall, when it comes to nitpicking and even (quasi) arguing about religion,
just try to remember that it’s about Christ.
And that if someone isn’t interested,
IT. IS. OKAY.
(Line of Propriety)
Remember that the most important convert in your life is YOU.
The most important testimony to maintain is your own.
Capiche?
While we ought to maintain the purity of the image of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we need not feel anxiety about “enemies” (real or perceived). Furthermore, we should seek to avoid being overly defensive while simultaneously exercising conviction in our own faith.
-Katherine Anne Wilkinson
If/ (Because) the Church is true, it will win.
