sister cheryl c. lant (primary general president) gave the devotional today. she talked about our purpose in life and the things we need to do to fulfill/accomplish our purpose. she used lehi's vision of the tree of life as the basis of her talk. and in the middle of it, she posed the question she wanted us to ask ourselves:
what are my mists of darkness?
so i thought about it. and i thought of a few of my own, individual, unique mists of darkness. i decided its important to know my weaknesses...cuz thats where satan attacks me ever so subtlely. so if i know where i am weak, i can pay extra special attention to those areas and not let him get to me! it won't be easy, but im willing to give it a try. :)

I can't wait for your institute post! :)
lol. i hope it lives up to your expectations! ...whatever they are...
so, what are they...? :P
or not.
Something to consider: a study of Ether 12 will shed light on weakness. The chapter begins with discussion of faith and the fruits of faith. Then the concept of weakness is introduced. Sin is not synonomous to weakness. Weakness leads us to Heaven, but sin can drag us down to hell. We choose sin, but Heavenly Father allows weakness. We are punished for sins, but invited to come unto Jesus if we humble ourselves, our weakness become our strengths. These questions of intraflection remains. How do you view/react to your own weakness? How do you view/react to other's weakness? Just my two cents.
good thought questions dad. thanks
