An Illustration

Whilst the boss was on the other side of my desk talking to me, I created the image below.  (Perhaps I should commence being a better assistant a.s.a.p.)

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....

One Step Closer

Last night Dan & I completed our Temple Prep classes with Mike Strauss.  I couldn't help but to notice all throughout the classes that there was absolutely no new information being presented.  I've heard it all before.  I've read it all before.  I've learned it all before.  But there was definitely something very different about it all this time. D&C 136:32  really speaks to us.  We know how far we have to go, but we know we're headed in the right direction too. As I've mentioned before, both Dan & I feel like we've been guided in our preparation.  And I don't mean just by our class instructor.  We both believe the Holy Ghost has been been our biggest advisor and guide, and has most certainly attended us thus far.  That's what makes this not-new info so amazing.  We're ready to hear it with the right ears.  We're ready to feel it with the right heart.  We're ready to see it with the right eyes....

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...
