So...... Helping so many folks discuss Faith Crisis has placed me in burnout mode. I need a break, so what do I do? Let me recommend the following items to do when hovering in the bloggernacle has you burned out. First, step away from LDS discussion boards and blogs like mine for two weeks and let all your feelings subside... then pick one or two things from this list.
1.) read the Book of Mormon... I mean really read it. Put all your emotion aside and read it looking for the words of eternal life...... man does this work for me.
2.) find a talk on byu speeches website http://speeches.byu.edu/
also BYU-Idaho Speeches http://web.byui.edu/devotionalsandspeeches/speeches.aspx
My personal favorite = http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=1966 - Brad Wilcox - his grace is suffcient
3.) read a good book that has nothing to do with mormonism
my recommendations
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen (Bradbury)
The Giver by Lois Lowry (Houghton)
Where the Red Fern Grows
and
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor (Dial)
yes they are all childrens books.... but trust me you'll like them
4.) go serve someone... it always feels good
5.) do something for you... ballroom dancing with my wife is one of my things... find yours
