my own personal outer darkness
i have decided to straighten my act up and get way more righteous. no more "accidental" f-bombs or justifying away rated r movies. i dont care if i have a starving infant and my breast milk has dried up, i will not got to the store on sunday for formula. ok, that last one is kind of a hysterical leap, but you get my meaning. i am cleaning up my act. why? you might ask. well this past saturday i got a preview of my eternity if i dont get it together. my outer darkness will be spent keeping score for an endless womens church volleyball game. wailing and gnashing of teeth aint nothing compared to this.

Made the same decision a couple years ago. Decided to read all the scriptures, Old Testament through the D&C in one go. Took about a year and half. You'll be glad, just stick to it.
ReplyDeletewhat? no pearl of great price or JSH? ;-)
ReplyDeletefor the first time in my life, i am ALMOST done with the Book of Mormon. see how bad i am? i really do need to stick to it.
Of course, and I read commentaries on everything to make it more interesting. Also included the mission standards, Jesus the Christ, Articles of Faith, Lectures on Faith, and am currently about 1/2 through Marevlous Work and a Wonder. Congrats on the Book of Mormon. It also helps to get the mp3 files. I just finished listening to the D&C during my work out time in the mornings. You can even get the ensign as a mp3. Fill your mind with good things! As an aside I stoped swearing when my 1st child started using those words. That was the motivation I needed.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the audio listening suggestion.
ReplyDeleteAnd with the repenting. As bad as that was, it could be even worse. Think of a perpetual High Council Sacrament Meeting.
i dont know blain, i think it would be a close race. i might choose to sit through a hc sacrament meeting rather than a volleyball game. i will have to think about it.
