More juicy notes from Brad Wilcox

+Covenants are not a cold contract, but a warm relationship.

+The atonement doesn't just bring us back, but bring us higher. If the atonement was only to get us to come back to Heaven, why did we leave? So that we could get back better than we were. So we can get to higher ground.

+The atonement is the battery that makes the whole plan of salvation to work.

+Don't focus on the growth, just apply the doctrine of Christ daily.

+God didn't give us weakness. We had it before our spirits gained bodies and before our intelligences gained spirits.

+Strength easily gained is not Strength. 

+He doesn't care about right now as much as He cares about 20 years in the future.

+Even when you go to the back of the bus, the bus is still taking you closer to home. So just stay on the bus.

+Worthiness never was Flawlessness. Worthiness is Honesty. 

It's been a while...

Watched the first episode of Sherlock. I'm intrigued.

Brad Wilcox is in our area for the next couple of days, here's some of his awesome thoughts:

+They know your rules, now it's time that they know your reasons.

+Without Jesus our mistakes only condemn us. With Jesus, our mistakes can educate us.

+When you don't do something well, you're not very motivated to do it.

+It's not just a covenant, it's a covenant relationship.

+They have a right to their opinion, but it doesn't make their opinion right.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Saving that for later don't mind me

I watched Miss Potter last night, and was told it was a happy movie. It starts happy, but my gosh it's been a while since I've cried while watching a movie.

Film idea: set in the same world as inception, but it's a person that uses inception to go into artists' (such as writers) minds in order to steal their ideas or smth like that.

also another idea with this world, I wonder how it would work if someone tried to do inception on themselves because they have secrets they have hidden cuz of trauma or something (think shallan) and use that to recover the information from their subconscious.

I just hung out with frends tonight and we went shopping and made a terrible but fun dinner and watched a movie and laughed the whole time and man growing up is so fun, even if the rest of my week was trashy it's so worth the good times.
