Elaine Dalton gave a general conference talk about virtue. The thing that struck me about her talk was it was not just a virtue, but a RETURN to virtue. When I look around the world today I see many sad examples of people lacking virtue. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I want to be known as somebody who is virtuous. Sister Dalton say, “Virtue begins in the heart and the mind.” We really have to desire to be virtuous in order for our hearts to be set on it, but I believe if we try to live our lives with virtue or “a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards” we can be a huge force for good in this world.
Also, as a coincidence I opened my fortune cookie and it said, "Your virtues are a priceless treasure." I would have to agree.

I believe in Christ
The Real Site
My Testimony Blog
The reason I started this blog was so I would have an outlet to express my testimony and share it with others. In the latest Ensign (church magazine) we were encouraged to use the internet to share the gospel, so here I am. I originally titled the blog as religionmormon.blogspot.com, so that if someone searched for religion and mormon maybe they would find my blog and learn about my views of my religion. I have tried googling it, but nothing comes up. I guess I really don't understand how google works, but either way I plan to update this every Sunday with some thought or another on my feeling about religion, gospel, Jesus Christ or other things that touch me spiritually. I don't expect that a lot of people will read it, but it will give me a chance to reflect on my week and what things were important to me spiritually that day. I am just one person and my views don't necesarily reflect the views of my church, which is why I put a link to the church website under The Real Site.
