The Golden Rule

I was e-mailed this quote, and must share it:


President Spencer W. Kimball said,
"God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom."

This is so evident in my life, and probably in yours as well. More on this topic to come.

Bad Challenge!


As a follow up to my "Good Challenge" post, I am now going to share a few "Bad Challenges".

1. Pie eating contest. This is a bad challenge, because I will try to win.
2. Duck-Duck-Goose Challenge. Although a group challenge, it all comes down to the one guy who winds up a goose. What’s wrong with geese? I never understood the inter-aviary anger.
3. Holding your breath under water challenge. I so hope this is self-explanatory.
4. Sudden death-tie breaker challenge. It’s really the name I have a problem with- why not call it, “Sudden Winner Tie Breaker”, or “More Fun Challenge” or “Play Until We Have a Winner Challenge”.
5. Thumb War Challenge. “1, 2, 3, 4- I declare war.” WHY? I have no desire to “pin” your thumb to your own hand. It’s bizarre.
Feel free to add on to these, or challenge them. Yes- you may "challenge" the "bad challenge" list. And you will lose!
