When the LDS Church is good, it is very good, indeed. At its best, I must remind myself that if I am not willing to endure the mundane, I will not be around to experience those moments that carry me right to heaven’s gates.

Sounds like what our youth did this past week too. And there was at least one really good testimony shared today. Wish more sacrement meetings could be this spiritual.

I was just thinking about the report from Sunstone of Russell’s comment, that blogging is like an extension of conversations one has in the foyer of one’s own ward house, and as I skim BCCs active posts over breakfast (at the same time most of you skim in your pajamas), I thought about the fantastic variety of conversations we have and, to echo what Steve said, the quality of association with good people honest and caring enough to share real experience and sincere ideas.

It’s a wonder to me. Thanks!!

I always enjoy seeing the gospel through your eyes. Thanks.

I admittedly sometimes get a bit jaded, which is to some extent a function of being so long in the tooth in the Church and having seen and heard it all before, multiple times. The freshness of your perceptions and perspectives is very inspiring to me.

And I certainly agree that anything that can reach young people and bring them to actually testify, not in a rote formulaic way but riffing on real, lived experience, is a good and desirable thing.
