On Dealing With Uncertainty

I don't have adequate words to describe, much less introduce, this topic, so I'm incredibly grateful someone with this talent would write such a great talk. It's phenomenal. We live in uncertain times, but regardless of the state of the world, merely living ensures we will always experience times of uncertainty. May I recommend this article to anyone who plans on facing the life adventure that means ample occasion when we just don't know the answers!

In some ways, at least for me, this was a little too close for comfort. Elder Hafen points out some stark realities, and many that I know I struggle with. But he has words for all of it, even if not his own. Especially comfort. "As President Harold B. Lee said, the true Church is intended not only to comfort the afflicted, but to afflict the comfortable."

Bruce C. Hafen, “On Dealing with Uncertainty,” Ensign, Aug 1979, 63–67

To ambiguity! and the many wonderful ways we're given opportunity to grow because of it!

Shut up and...

I drove past by this huge field yesterday and had this really funny realization about myself. I really wanted to be out in the middle of the field on a four wheeler, riding around behind an incredibly cute driver, and not even so much about the boy, but driving around really fast sounded fantastic, and I'm sure the boy would love it. Even if only so he could show off.

I was listening to this song. Taking it very literally. It seemed to fit with the image in my head. And then I started listening to the words.

Stupid Rihanna.
