(via findingjoyinthejourney) “Because of Your Faith,” by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. October General Conference, 2010. A portion of the talk: “My thanks to all you wonderful members of the Church—and legions of good people not of our faith—for proving every day of your life that the pure love of Christ ‘never faileth.’ No one of you is insignificant, in part because you make the gospel of Jesus Christ what it is—a living reminder of His grace and mercy, a private but powerful manifestation in small villages and large cities of the good He did and the life He gave bringing peace and salvation to other people. We are honored beyond expression to be counted one with you in such a sacred cause. As Jesus said to the Nephites, so say I today: ‘Because of your faith … , my joy is full. And when he had said these words, he wept.’” Click here to read the entire talk. This talk makes me weep. Daily. As in, I read it daily for a pick-me-up and I have never once read it without crying. So yes, I cry the good kind of tears at least once a day. I dare you to read it and not choke up. Elder Holland was definitely inspired to write this.

HEAR YE. I need to document the fact that I ran 3 miles and didn't feel like death.  So just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I did...
