Hello once again :) It has been a while since I last wrote, I know. . . Life gets so hectic that somethings just have to wait a while :) But here I am now!!
Last night, there was CES Fireside. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was the speaker. He is one of my favorites to listen to. He gives it to you straight. Tonight, he talked about having integrity and standing for what you know to be right. One of his points was to NEVER check your religion at the door-whether it be a sporting event, a social party, etc. Your religion and your standards go with you wherever you may be. It really stuck out to me. I don't think I am one to hide and be ashamed of my standards, but I know I can always do better to stand up for what I know to be right. I cannot remember who it was he quoted, but they said, "You are not bound to tell everything you believe, but you ARE bound to not appear as you do not believe." That quote really struck me. How often do we say we believe 'such and such' but not live it? I hope I can be better at living what I believe.
I know this was more of a religious post, but it was something I wanted to share :)
