OCTOBER!

I purposefully did *not* eat breakfast this morning (oh I know, I know) so that I could make a deliciously rotten lunch choice today.
I drive past this sign EVERY single day after work.  Every month there is something rather tempting posted on it too.  However, October is Pumpkin Pie Blizzard month!  Oh the cool creaminess of it all!
Clearly, I just had to get one.  It will be my one and only Pumpkin Pie Blizzard this year.  It was good.  They're always better in memory than in real life though.  Regardless, it was still quite lovely and I'll just look forward to the next one coming in about a year.

Being Humble & Offended

Image
Is it at all possible to be truly humble and find oneself taking offense?  I don't think so.  According to THIS DEFINITION  of "offend," it seems to me that in order to be offended, one must assume malice on the part of the supposed offender.  Being assumptive is pretty much the same as being judgemental, is it not?  How can one be judgemental and still be humble?  I daresay it cannot be done. Clearly, there are 'offending' situations in life.  All sin is offensive to the pure in heart.  But since every single one of us is human and does sin, it goes without saying that not a single one of us is truly pure.  Who am I to be offended by the actions of another?  Oftentimes at church I hear that this person was offended by that person, or that person was offended by so-and-so's words, etc.  I wonder if perhaps the offended person were to just not assume/believe the offender meant harm, how easily the situation could be remedied.  I believe that if I am being

I Forgot About This Talk!

Below is my sacrament meeting talk that I gave in the Cape Henry Ward before I moved away from Virginia Beach in the spring.  It was okay.   Candace Elaine White’s Sacrament Talk May 26, 2013   Based on "Being a More Christian Christian" by Elder Robert D. Hales and "Converted unto the Lord" by Elder David A. Bednar from October 2012 General Conference   In Primary, we sing a song that goes "Do as I’m doing, Follow follow me." For each verse, a child is chosen to be the leader and chooses an action—such as clapping, marching in place, or twirling—for all the children to do as they sing and simply follow along. This song is a great way to work out some of the pent up wiggles that need to be shaken loose after trying so hard to be still and reverent in sacrament meeting. But this song, as all songs in Primary, also serves to teach simple gospel truths to the children (and adults too). This song teaches us to follow a leader, and our Leader is Jesus

Merry Christmas Candy AND Be POSITIVE!

Image
Lookie what I got for Christmas from my dear husband Dan! He found it on Craigslist.  We went to see it and not only was the piano cool, but the people he bought it from were great too.  Dan's Home Teaching companion, Jason Bosko, helped Dan bring it to the house.  HOORAY! I'm not musically talented, or at least I don't think I am.  I had two or three lessons when I was five years old.  I know middle C.  My knowledge ends right about there.  However, I am hopeful and I believe I am a good learner.  I've been practicing, and so far I can play "I Am a Child of God" pretty well, but just with my right hand.  None of this left hand business is down just yet.  Anyway, I practice everyday and I can't wait until I play a perfect waltz! So, this is me in my quest to BE POSITIVE.  With hard work, some blessings from above, and a positive attitude, I will develop this talent.  YES!
