Raspberry, Chocolate Chip and Mom: One of these things is not like the other.

One of these things is not like the other.

Can you tell which one of us had the stomach flu over Easter weekend? Was it

a: Raspberry
b: Soda (real name)
c. Mom
d: Chocolate Chip

If you picked "d" you are a winner! I know Soda looks sick, but he actually just got shoved by Raspberry, that plus poor picture quality (camera phone).

Poor CC. I have never had the opportunity to see someone look white and a light shade of green at the same time. Don't be worried, he is all better. Anybody who eats a can of Ravoli for lunch the next day has got to be feeling well.

"...as human beings, our work isn’t measured by taking the sum of our good deeds and the sum of our bad deeds and seeing how things even out, the only thing you need to think about is: Are you trying to improve, are you trying to do better? And if you are, then you’re a saint."

A More Determined Discipleship.

"Make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, in the months and years ahead, events are likely to require each member to decide whether or not he will follow the First Presidency. Members will find it more difficult to halt longer between two opinions.

President Marion G. Romney said, many years ago, that he had 'never hesitated to follow the counsel of the Authorities of the Church even though it crossed my social, professional or political life.' "This is hard doctrine, but it is particularly vital doctrine in a society which is becoming more wicked. In short, brothers and sisters, not being ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ includes not being ashamed of the prophets of Jesus Christ. . . . Your discipleship may see the time when such religious convictions are discounted. . . . This new irreligious imperialism seeks to disallow certain opinions simply because those opinions grow out of religious convictions.

"Resistance to abortion will be seen as primitive. Concern over the institution of the family will be viewed as untrendy and unenlightened....Before the ultimate victory of the forces of righteousness, some skirmishes will be lost. Even in these, however, let us leave a record so that the choices are clear, letting others do as they will in the face of prophetic counsel.

Neal A. Maxwell, "A More Determined Discipleship,"

Ensign, Feb 1979, 69–73
