So Simple That It's True

I haven't read Gordon B. Hinckley's book "Standing in Something." But, I'll bet it's about standing in holy places, like the temple. Or in a baptismal font.

I don't think I really need to read it if it's that simple. Some people need those simple reminders, though, so I'm sure it's a helpful book.

I Think It's In The Apocrypha

On my mission, one of the things that always helped me when I was tired of tracting was the Savior's quote, "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be hard."

And you know, He was right!

The Great Debate

I always hear people in Church debating whether "calfing" is against the Word of Wisdom. Some of them say it's bad for you. That alone makes it against the Word of Wisdom, they say.

Well, here's my opinion on the matter.

First, I don't even technically know what calfing is.

Second, Church leaders have not told us exactly what types of exercises are against the Word of Wisdom, but just that we should exercise.

Third, maybe it is wrong to focus solely on your calves (if that's what calfing is), but I don't think it hurts to work calfing into your whole workout routine, as long as you spend similar amounts of time working on other areas of your body.

What it all boils down to is you should treat calfing like everything else in the Word of Wisdom: It's OK in moderation, but just don't overdo it.

Period. End of debate.

Now will somebody please tell me why my repeated requests to Church headquarters to help supplement the Church Handbook of Instructions are denied?

Material World

Material things are not important in this life.
The reason I know this is because in the pre-existence, there are almost no buildings or architecture of any kind. There are only some really nice steps and columns. Also, there are people, singing about whether or not they will find each other or live in the same family on earth.
But, other than that, nothing.

Offended

Someone in Church once said, "If you have the Spirit, nothing can offend you." So, I brought a girl home to watch the movie Pulp Fiction.

Sure enough, she was offended. That's how I knew she wasn't the girl for me.

Thanks, Someone in Church!
