I don’t really have a nightstand, so I didn’t say “my nightstand.” heh

Now that we’ve survived the hack and invastion of privacy in blog land, I can return to posting.

I’ve had much success, lately, with paperbackswap.

Yesterday, I received What Da Vinci Didn’t Know: an LDS perspective.

I add this book to my pile of religious reading, that includes:

• Jesus The Christ by James E. Talmage (on my 101 in 1001 days goals)
• Reexploring The Book of Mormon
• Rediscovering The Book of Mormon
• Book of Mormon Stories for Young Latter-day Saints
• The Miracle of Forgiveness by Spencer W. Kimball
• The World’s Religions by Huston Smith

I don’t, usually, have so much specific LDS reading.  I have, yet, to find authentic Eastern Orthodox material to read offline.  I’d like to have something tangible that taught me the vocabulary and spoke in simple English.

Stand for what you believe in.. even if you stand alone..

What you stand for makes who you are and who you have yet to become.

When you represent your business, put your best food forward.  Look like you want others to look up to you. See what they see.  Be who you want them to see.

Dress for your personal success.  Associate with those you admire to succeed with.

Make your personal goals higher standards.  Walk with your head up, proud of the knowledge of who you are.

Choose to stand alone, when the choices to stand with are not acceptable to your personal standards.

Honor the you that you can and want to become.

Set one goal that makes you do something that teaches you a forward needed skill.  Be your best and make a plan.

Plan to walk a little taller.  Dance a little longer.  Sing a little sweeter. Love with all that you are.

and never stop praying.
