He's HERE!!

Katie sent me a picture message this afternoon letting me know that baby Romer had arrived at 12:27pm (Romer is the married name for one of Katie's sisters). He weighed 7 1bs-11 oz. As far as I know they don't have a name set in stone yet. Welcome to mortality!

Submitting to the Will of the Savior

“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar...the many other things we give to God, however nice they may be to us, are actually things He has already given us, and He has loaned them to us. But when we begin to submit ourselves by letting our wills be swallowed up in God’s will, then we are really giving something to Him. And that hard doctrine lies at the center of discipleship. There is a part of us that is ultimately sovereign, the mind and the heart, where we really do decide which way to go and what to do. And when we submit to His will, then we’ve really given Him the one final thing He asks of us. And the other things are not very, very important. It is the only possession we have that we can give, and there is no lessening of our agency as a result. Instead, what we see is a flowering of our talents and more and more surges of joy. Submission to Him is the only form of submission that is completely safe.”
- Elder Neal A. Maxwell

Worth-mentioning Thoughts

"Do not suppose God willfully causes that which for His own purposes He permits."

"No man stands taller than the one on his knees."

"Repentence takes care of the past, faith the future, and the Holy Ghost helps us with today."

"When doing the work of the Lord, the force in front of you is never as great as the power behind you."

"The closest distance between a problem and solution is the distance between your knees and the floor."

"With God, nothing is impossible."

Our Destiny

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Nelson Mandella
