This talk was wonderful! It brought many memories of my adolescence to mind, along with quite a few ponderous questions which I had never before contemplated.
I'm not sure if it's my current mood, or the Spirit or what, but this talk was wonderful.
It brought back memories of my own childhood, when I made decisions which would bring on ma...

Miss Universe

Okay, I was watching the latest Miss Universe the other day and it was kind of like watching a train wreck. You don't want to look, but you can't bring yourself to turn away. The interesting part about it was the question and answer portion which is supposed to be the most important part of the competition (yeah right!). They had ...

Gen. Conf. - Will Not Yield - Zwick
PoeticIntensity
Ya know... I really liked this talk. There were points in it where I found his words coming through my mind's eye of the past.
While growing up, I was probably on the extreme of what Elder Zwick was trying to convey. Instead of being tempted to go along with the crowd, I thought the crowd was stupid, and I didn't need them. ...

I've never noticed that by the way Christ speaks to his father, he is displaying total and complete humility.
If Christ submits himself to the will of the Father so willingly and completely, who are we to suppose we are above doing so ourselves?
