Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

Howard W. Hunter
"He is Risen," Ensign, May 1988

Just a Thought

Saw another article today on body shaming, that seems to be a big subject lately. It did give me thought about another thing that has bugged me...when did women stop dressing with class. I'm not talking about going out like June Cleaver or Aunt Bea with our pearls on, I'm talking about just having class.
When did it start being ok to go out looking like we stepped off the pages of Frederick's of Hollywood? When did it become ok to wear three stained tank tops that show off bra straps and are so tight that they ride up and show off our stomach? Why is it now considered appropriate to go out in a see through white maxi dress and show the world that you're wearing a black bra and thong underwear but if we dress with a bit of class and modesty we are considered stuck up, constipated, and old fashioned?
And, its not just with our dress, but also our language. Ladies, there is nothing classy about saying the F-bomb every other word or just swearing in general! For some reason acting and looking like a Kardashian has become ok, but acting and looking like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly is unheard of. This trend needs to be reversed and now! It's just as bad as boys wearing their pants down around the knees!
