"Oh Lord God, deliver us in Thy due time from the little narrow prison, almost as it were, total darkness of paper, pen and ink and a crooked, broken, scattered and imperfect language."
-Joseph Smith
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
The Gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a person will worship something, have no doubt of that either. One may think that tribute is paid in secret, in the dark recesses of his or her heart, but it is not. That which dominates imagination and thoughts will determine life and character. Therefore it behooves us to be careful what we are worshiping. For what we are worshiping, we are becoming.

You wouldn't believe what our Prophets do!
I love conference time. It's like a holiday for our family. We have fun traditions that we usually enjoy, like crepes and strawberries for breakfast, and all the ladies hanging out together and chatting till we're blue in the face while the men are at Priesthood Conference. This season, when conference was still in the near future, Salem made a simple statement that had tears coming out of my eyes and my gut hurting fiercely. It was just as much the way she said it as what she said. I wish you could all hear her tone, but anyway...We were all going about our daily routines. We had NOT been talking about the upcoming conference (which was still a month or so away), or prophets for that matter when Salem came out of the bathroom with an out of the blue statement. She said loudly, matter-of-factly, and not without a heavy dose of sassiness, "Mom, I don't think the prophet goes poop." Can you imagine her shock when she learned that, yes, he does, and yes, so does everyone...even Jesus. She did not believe us. But hey, we're all human. And everybody poops.
