If you remove compassion from what would otherwise be righteousness, you begin to flirt with wickedness.

Prompt - “Try focusing more on your life and less on mine!”

“Try focusing more on your life and less on mine!” Alan bellowed surprising both himself and Meagan. Alan didn’t know where the anger came from, he just let loose. “I am so sorry!” he immediately added, hoping he could reverse the consequences of his outburst. “That’s just fine,” Meagan said with a tone that told Alan that it really wasn’t “just fine.”   Meagan quickened her pace to join the rest of the group, leaving Alan back to wonder why he was so reactive.   A little advice from another single parent should be welcome.   What is wrong with me? Alan wondered to himself. At that moment Alans hear once again began to pound uncontrollably, only this time was worse.   Alan struggled to breathe and quickly made his way to a bench on the side of the busy street.   Alans vision blurred and all he could see were the myriad of light of the passing cars mixed with the lights coming from business signs, except he could make any of them out.   They amalgamated...

Let the Amen Sum All Our Praises

I have been moved by this statement as of late. About a month ago I was asked to be part of a multi-stake choir to sing for the priesthood session of general conference. Of course, I said yes. Because the actual experience of singing during a worldwide conference was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Yet I did not look forward to singing in a choir that big and to the rehearsals. I guess I had a bad attitude and I needed to be taught some new virtues. You see I don't like big choirs because they don't like it when I do things to stand out.

Little Bugger Booger

A little fly frozen in ice, Found by four friends, a silly vice, They named him "Little Bugger Booger", And paid homage to him like a trooper. They tossed candy onto his sacred spot, And left soda in memory of what they had wrought, Their "tongue in cheek" ceremony grew, Into a friendship that was strong and true. The four of them were outsiders, But they found solace in each other's diversions, Stupid humor became their bond, And they reveled in being thought of as "weird" and beyond. They grew up and went their separate ways, But their shared love for each other never fades, And every once in a while they meet, To catch up, laugh, and be silly in defeat. They even visit Little Bugger Booger's grave, And leave candy and soda in his memory to pave, The way for their friendship to thrive, And keep their love for each other alive. They recreate awkward family photos, And laugh until their sides are hurting, oh no, But in their laughter, they find pea...
