Rock, paper, scissors, force, gospel.     Gospel beats force.

... because force was Satan's plan.

Quote

I suppose if I have learned anything in life, it is that we are to keep moving, keep trying—as long as we breathe! If we do, we will be surprised at how much more can still be done.

 -- Spencer W. Kimball; "Do Not Weary by the Way" - Oct 1980

The only problem I have with this is that some seem to think that if they wished hard enough - that counts for trying.  I also think that whatever we try, no longer counts as trying when we quit trying.   I do not think Bro. Holland was referencing a try when we quit.  Some believe that trying again after falling counts more for success than getting a pass on the initial effort.

Per Pres. Kimball's quote above, "trying" in a gospel sense, in spiritual things, will eventually result in a success.  But we'll never realize that success unless we endure to the end.
