I don’t have to be perfect
I just read a great talk by Elder Gerrit W. Gong "Becoming Perfect in Christ" You should go read it too.

Such understanding allows us … Continue reading I don’t have to be perfect

Today's spiritual principle is "perseverance". This one takes a lot of practice!!

Perseverance
Perseverance, that's the principle that ties it all together for me. The one I was forgetting about as I've been whining about having to consistently keep working on trust, patience and humility. Of course I get to keep working on them, that perseverance (or enduring??). When I stop and let God do the work that … Continue reading Perseverance
