I just ran across this on another blog. I felt it was worth reading.

There are this many people walking the halls:
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” ~ Dr. Seuss
In this regard, my counsel to members would be to relax, lighten up, mellow out, and not get so huffy. While the gospel is sacred and serious, sometimes we take ourselves a little too seriously. A sense of humor, especially about ourselves, is an attribute worthy of development (Glenn L. Pace, “Follow the Prophet,” Ensign, May 1989, 25).
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of God, I will do.
--Edward Everett Hale

"True greatness...always requires regular, consistent, small, and sometimes ordinary and mundane steps over a long period of time." --Howard W. Hunter, "True Greatness", Ensign, May 1982, 19
"Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn in mortality is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right." --Thomas S. Monson

interesting that you posted this today. This was part of lessons today in our ward - including a talk from Bishop Spencer.
To be a woman in the church is an amazing thing but also very intimidating to me. Being raised outside the church and now trying to raise my children in it has presented so many challenges but also so many blessings. There are days I know I am completely failing and others that show me a small glimpse of things that make me somehow hope that I am doing ok.
It continues to amaze me how revered we are by the prophets of all ages - and by our bishop today. No where else in the world are women as blessed or respected as we are in the church. What an incredible thing!
That is a GREAT quote! i love it!!
Awesome reminder of what good we can accomplish. Thanks:0)
Hi Julie...the park is up past Jenkins Estate...up the mountain on the left hand side...can't remember the name of it...but it is an awesome park! I guess it can be rented out on the weekends so the best time to go is during the week from what I hear... :)
Ooops...it is on the right hand side of the road...hello!!! :)
