charmingly chubby

every year at thanksgiving i'ma little reluctant to leave the frozen block of ice, and swim home with moby again. I love all the food and the free time and the pool and the FOOD! Everything always tastes so good and i still want to eat, even when i'm filled up to my eyebrows. i don't want to leave, to go back to where the food is still good, but not as abundant and well-tended.
i feel the same way about Conference. i love it oh, so much! i eat and drink in the spiritual sense and can't seem to get enough. i feel kinda bloated, but the end of the sunday afternoon session comes all too quickly. i stole my dad's cd's from october and am listening to them. the weekend was so good. i hated to go to sleep.
but then, although eating is pleasurable, it is not an end unto itself. food is meant to sustain a man as he lives. it gives him the energy to act. the same applies to spiritual sustainance. all the learning and spiritual growth is worthless without action. we have to go back into Babylon, and live what we've learned.

"...do not suppose that this is all; for after ye have done all these things, if ye turn away the needy, and the naked, and visit not the sick and afflicted, and impart of your substance, if ye have, to those who stand in need—I say unto you, if ye do not any of these things, behold, your prayer is vain, and availeth you nothing, and ye are as hypocrites who do deny the faith." -Alma 34:28

" Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." -Matthew 5: 16

It's time to go to Work.
