Rusty,
Thank you so much for this. Thank you for making a point whether that person understood it or not. I guess you could say I’ve been struggling and having a hard time with this (such a fast & testimony phrase) and so often I wonder about this. Almost every time I go to a restaurant or even walking around my high school, I just wonder how many things I probably have in common with the man sitting the table over or how I feel when someone I’ve never seen before looks me in the eyes and smiles at me. It’s strange how introverted a seemingly “normal” person is. And although I’m not nearly as eloquent and knowledgable as yourself and some of your readers, this is definitley a topic any human can understand.
Thank you!

Hi Rusty! glad to have your blog back online – I know its been back for a while – I’ve been too busy for blog surfing.

I love this post. I think it is very appropriate considering the current trend in our culture to replace “things as they really are” (Jacob 4:13) for virtual reality! Elder Bednar recent gave an amazing speech to students in the Church Education System. He encouraged us to engage in personal interactions and warned of the increasing trend of cyber worlds where people can replace their current reality with a virtual one.

I encourage anyone to read his Apostolic Warning of Satan’s modern-day plan to diminish the importance of our tangible bodies. His speech can be found at this link:

His insight, direction, and voice of warning are a perfect example of the need for modern day prophets!

Great reminder, Rusty! I think the way we interact with those around us on the days when everything goes wrong, shows what we’re made of. Especially in our families, who are most dear to us.
