i talked with a friend saturday
{when i wasn’t watching conference}
and he commented that conference is far more interesting
when we didn’t have life together yet…
{i.e when he wasn’t in love and about to get married.}
i do remember being single and feeling a stronger need for answers when i felt so lost and my future was unplanned and made me nervous just thinking about it…
sometimes they come at me like a fog horn in broad daylight and force me to realize its time to make a change.
this happens about every six months at least, and often in between.
“When it comes to hating, gossiping, ignoring, ridiculing, holding grudges, or wanting to cause harm, please apply the following:Stop it!”
-President Uchtdorf
it drives cc crazy.
“…i am sure they think i talk to much… or they probably think we are cheap-o….i hope they don’t think i was rude to say that – i didn’t mean it like that!”
i know i am not alone in this feeling.
and the worst part is,
i know it, because i do it.
he quoted a bumper sticker he saw,
“don’t judge me because i sin differently than you!”
its hard to live in a world where we don’t communicate like normal people
with most people we communicate with.
we share everything with strangers,
and that can sometimes do more harm than good.
the rest of Uchtdorf’s talk was about being disciples and loving like the savior,
who does not judge, who forgives, and who forgets.
and that while we are forgiving, to forgive ourselves.
and enjoy the ride.
that’s what i am going to try be more about.
speaking of good words,
this weekend is my favorite for some of the best Easter videos.

Well said Meg, Oh and Pres Uchtdorf too! We can all use a good dose of Stop it!!! I concur.
Love you, Meg. Love your honesty. Love the real world that you live in. Love everything actually.
Meg, with the judging thing – we've allll been there! Much too often. I get tired of listening to even myself talking about it! I go back and forth on this, but I just keep thinking if I'm trying my best that's all that matters! And I try to assume everyone else is trying their best too. <br /><br />And you don't talk too much, I don't think you're a cheapo, nor do I think
