Jesse and I were asked to speak in our ward at church today [those of you not familiar with the LDS religion, every week in church different members of the congregation will talk for about 10 - 15 min on topics of their choice or what the bishopric has recommended] We were asked to speak on the 13 articles of faith. I chose to speak on the last sentence of the 13th, which is: "If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." I love speaking in church... 6+ years ago I used to be sooo afraid of speaking in public, but now it is something I really enjoy. That is what I love about being part of the Mormon religion, it is a faith that takes one out of their comfort zone and put you in a position or positions that most people wouldn't normally choose for themselves, this helps you grow sooo much as a person, that is if you allow yourself to. Here is an article I found online that refers to the 13th article of faith. If you have a couple min, you really should read this...so edifying and it will make you think twice about the things you watch, read, listen to etc. but in a good way! :)
and to end on a fashion note: my new favorite tights.
