Guest MormonGator Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Remember that Smith had a good sense of humor himself. I don't think he would have survived without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite Mormon Message of all time, 4 minutes that always tugs at my heart strings: Lessons I Learned as a Boy That's sort of how I feel about Thomas Monson, except for that he hasn't passed yet, thank God. He has a great sense of humor too, with his Navy days he had to! So did Boyd Packer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroads Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I will say this. I don't bleach my hair nearly as much as my mother would love be to because of that bleach-blonde Utah lady look. "But Mom! I don't want to look like the rich housewives in Grandma's old ward!" Mom: "But that's how everyone does their hair!" Me: "So bleach your hair!" Mom: "I don't want to look like the rich housewives in my MIL's old ward!" poohthebear, zil and Sunday21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahlia Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Didn't mean to post and run, but I had a lot at work and had the lesson this week. Anyway, I probably should have been more clear. Part of what I look for in diversity and inclusion is not just skin color. That's superficial. I'm looking for people in leadership positions who have lives that look like mine. I'm not married now, I don't have bunches of kids, I don't even have grandkids yet. I work and have worked for years. I'm not one of these sweet LDS leadership ladies who always sound like they are talking to kindergarteners. Often, I feel like I can't be myself with the women at church because they don't have any experience being out in the world with men and people who aren't LDS and having to deal with all of that. The only person I feel I can really talk to is another convert who works on campus. I'd just like to see some women in leadership who haven't been at home eating bon bons for 20 years. /ducks and runs.

People need to see diversity- it does exist, but so often people who don't fit the "mold" try to blend in which only encourages the illusion of the "mold".

I don't understand this. You are you, not someone else. The best contribution you can make to eternity is to be the best you you can be - not the best me, not the best someone else, not a cookie-cutter-Mormon woman, you. God did not create replicas, He created individuals. The world does not need a bunch of cutouts, it needs strong, intelligent, righteous, unique individuals who choose to unite for a common purpose - to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Guest Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) No one can elevate themselves by putting others down. I'm disappointed that I don't feel I can even reply to this topic because I'm seen as a bonbon popping baby machine with nothing more to contribute.

But it doesn't matter. Educated =/= qualified. Accomplished =/= qualified. Called = qualified. This is the Lord's work and really, none of us is qualified or experienced enough to do any of it. We all stand in need of His help and teaching. We're all given whatever resources we need to do what He asks of us. Obedience, humility, keeping covenants, and striving to do what's right are some of the primary credentials for filling any calling. I don't think anyone could come up with a better response that than. dc Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
