Today's Quote

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.” Thomas S Monson

How to be a "Good Mormon"

First of all, the Main Key to being a "Good" Mormon is KNOWING what your Church teaches.

Second, is only claiming to be a "Mormon" if you really Believe what the "Mormon Church" teaches and are willing to follow it.

Third, and the ONE thing I will budge a little bit on is Spending some time living outside of Utah/Idaho.

And Fourth, and really the whole reason for this post is Having a good group of Friends who aren't all "Mormon" who you connect with and can be close to. Sorry, but I firmly believe that if all of the people you let into your life on an intimate level are LDS (Mormon).... well, you're certainly missing out on some constructive diversity.

**********************************************************
No, I am not claiming to be a "Good" Mormon. However, thanks to the Wonderful Friends I have in my life, and these 4 steps, I'm sure a lot better at it than I used to be ;-)
