We are still alive. Michael and I will be posting what has been going on with us soon! So stay posted! Love ya!

Beware Concerning Ourselves

"The Lord promises great, eternal blessings to His righteous, repentant children, but knowing there is great danger here in this life, He has commanded us, saying, 'Beware concerning yourselves, to give diligent heed to the words of eternal life' (D&C 84:43). Because He loves us and wants us back, this commandment to 'beware concerning [ourselves]' prompts us to be careful concerning everything about us--the type of social settings we enter, what we see and read, the media and entertainment we choose, the music we listen to, and more."
John B. Dickson, "Commitment to the Lord," Ensign, May 2007, 14 15

Place for Imperfect People

"Some are lost because they have strayed. Except for the Lord, we have all made mistakes. The question is not whether we will trip and fall but, rather, how will we respond? Some, after making mistakes, stray from the fold. This is unfortunate. Do you not know that the Church is a place for imperfect people to gather together—even with all their mortal frailties—and become better? Every Sunday in every meetinghouse throughout the world, we find mortal, imperfect men, women, and children who meet together in brotherhood and charity, striving to become better people, to learn of the Spirit, and to lend encouragement and support to others. I am not aware of any sign on the door of our meetinghouses that reads 'Restricted Entrance—Perfect People Only."

Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Concern for the One," Ensign, May 2008, 19
