oh, my!

Feeling that sizzle of burning guilt!!!  He did not mince words at all.  Feeling the Book of Mormon verse....1 Nephi 16:2 in a prodding way!  I guess I can give myself some slack if I count family things.... Like doing what I can for my SweetHubbyMan.  What lack I yet?...answer in red below!  Not fire engine red but a softer rosy red is my uncomfortable guilt color!  All self-awareness is a part of figuring the balance and change in my life.  It's good to be prodded by conscience and tweaked by words that have that singe effect in a gentle searing of sorts! 

Elder Uchtdorf really brings Matt 25:31-46 to life, doesn't he?

Having charity and caring for one another is not simply a good idea. It is not simply one more in a seemingly infinite list of things we ought to consider doing. It is the core of the gospel—an indispensable, essential, foundational element.


Without service we are a mere shadow of who we are meant to be—both as individuals and as a Church. We are endangering our heritage and promise as children of God. We cannot, we will not be saved without blessing and lifting the poor. No matter the outward appearance of our righteousness, if we look the other way when others are suffering, we cannot be justified. 

--Elder  Dieter F. Uchtdorf
