Temple Thursday with these cute girls this morning! |
Now, I went to summer seminary today {because it is the only kind of school I will even think about during the summer.} And I gave an impromptu devotional that I got from a session of EFY a few years ago that I thought I'd share with you. The thirteenth Article of Faith says:
"We believe in being
honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in
doing good
to all men;
indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition
of Paul—
We believe all things,
we hope all things,
we have endured many
things,
and hope to be able to endure all things.
If there is anything
virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy,
we seek after these
things."
-Article of Faith 13
I have noticed that with media today we seem to think that just because a movie is PG13 and you are over the age of 13 you can watch it, but in reality the only rating you should be worried about is if the movie is AF13. Article of faith thirteen that is. A movie can be rated PG, but if it does not fit into our AF13 rating it shouldn't pass our eyes or ears. The same goes with music, books, or any other form of entertainment.
If it isn't AF13, it's not clean.
{yes, I did just come up with that saying all by myself.}
I have been really working on this the last couple of days and one thing I have done is I have swapped out my country music in my car to my collection of EFY and Jenny Phillips CDs. Now I'm in no way saying that country music is bad {I still love my country music!} and that any of you have to change what you like to listen to, I am saying that I have found that when I drive with uplifting music I am in a much better mood, because lets be honest, country music {and pop music for that matter} sometimes lacks on the virtuous side and uplifting music is an awesome way to invite the spirit.
Well there is my motivational minute for the day. I hope you all take a second to look over your lives and see where you could use a little more AF13. I love you all! Thanks for reading and making me feel good about myself! ha

p.s. Today was just perfect. Absolutely incredibly perfect. Except for the fact that I just drank some delicious pickle juice and now my tummy is unhappy. YOLO my friends. YOLO.
