Love takes practice

General Conference thoughts: Standing by Our Promises and Covenants
In a book (and later a movie) called Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine, the heroine, Ella, receives a very unhelpful blessing which quickly becomes a curse. She must obey any command given to her by another person. Imagine if we had a similar blessing given to us except with a twist. We would have to do anything we ourselves pledge to do.

Every day begins a new year
January is a time for resolutions. We resolve to be a better person or develop better habits. Most resolutions don’t make it past the first month. For some, they don’t make it past the first week. By February we settle back into our old habits and ways and don’t dust off the resolution until next January. That’s just silly. Every day begins a new year, January 13 to January 13 is still a year. In short, there is no better time to improve than today. Continue reading
