The cloak of the past is cut from patches of feeling, and sewn with rebus threads. Most of the time, the best we can do is wrap it around ourselves for comfort or drag it behind us as we struggle to go on. But everything has its cause and its meaning. Every life, every love, every action and feeling and thought has its reason and significance: its beginning, and the part it plays in the end. Sometimes, we do see. Sometimes, we see the past so clearly, and read the legend of its parts with such acuity, that every stitch of time reveals its purpose, and a kind of message is enfolded in it. Nothing in any life, no matter how well or poorly lived, is wiser than failure or clearer than sorrow. And in the tiny, precious wisdom that they give to us, even those dread and hated enemies, suffering and failure, have their reason and their right to be.

My experience is that once you stop putting question marks behind the prophet’s statements and put exclamation points instead, and do it, the blessings just pour.
I never ask myself, “when does the prophet speak as a prophet and when does he not?” My interest has been, “how can I be more like him?”Speaker: Russell M. NelsonPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 9:27 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
How do people, like, not curse? How is it possible? There are all these gaps in speech where you just have to put a “fuck.” I’ll tell you who the most admirable people in the world are: newscasters. If that was me, I’d be like, “And the motherfuckers flew the fucking plane right into the Twin Towers.” How could you not, if you’re a human being? Maybe they’re not so admirable. Maybe they’re robot zombies.

You know… a lot of kids at school hate their parents. Some of them got hit. And some of them got caught in the middle of wrong lives. Some of them were trophies for their parents to show the neighbors like ribbons or gold stars. And some of them just wanted to drink in peace.
For me personally, as much as I don’t understand my mom and dad and as much as I feel sorry for both of them sometimes, I can’t help but love them so much. My mom drives to visit the cemetary of people she loves. My dad cried during M*A*S*H, and trusted me to keep his secret, and let me sit on his lap, and called me “champ.”Speaker: Stephen ChboskyPosted: 20 Aug 2008 at 4:23 PMComments: None...

The images of the tragedy confirm the world’s paranoia as they are instantly beamed back to the crowds in San Francisco, Beijing, and London. Desensitized viewers are delivered their daily dose of fear; the horrific stats scroll across the bottom of our flickering screens. There is no time for context as the network cuts to commercials.

Crazy Town Hall Lady: Why do you continue to support a Nazi [health care] policy, as Obama has expressly supported this policy? Why are you supporting it?
Barney Frank: When you ask me that question, I am going to revert to my ethnic heritage and answer your question with a question: On what planet do you spend most of your time?
Jon Stewart: Apparently a planet where a mixed-race president and a gay Jew qualify as Nazis.

[The Savior] also commands each of us to love and serve one another—in effect, to offer a small imitation of His own sacrifice by making sacrifices of our own time and selfish priorities.
