My First Suit.

I picked up my very first suit ever yesterday from Mr. Mac. I went home and tried it on for Lauryn and Justin, and even put on the Elder Marcum tag that Chris had handed down to me when he got home. Lauryn almost cried I think. It was a cool feeling to be wearing what I will be tracting in, and in just a few months. I'm all that more excited! And it's tough to just sit here and wait. But I will have to deal with that.


I thought I would share with all of you some thoughts I gathered in church today.
In priesthood, we talked about apostasy among members of the church, and how not to apostasize. One quote that Brother Wright, a neighbor and faithful member, had stated was "Idle hands; devils workshop. Idle mind; devils playground." If you take a few moments and ponder what that statement really means, it is very ture. If we are not moving forward, we are sliding back. We have to keep ourselves constantly busy in the things of the Lord in order to keep a firm grip on the Iron Rod.
I have found this to be true constantly in my own life. If I decide to put my scriptures down for a few days, and just live my life like a "normal" person, I often get lost, and caught up in the things of the world. And it is no slow process. If we stay idle in our hearts and minds, that is satans biggest tool.
I love this gospel, and I have constantly found myself proving it in daily circumstances. I invite all of you to look at each and every miracle in your daily lives. And then remember who those miracles come from.

I love you all.
