(I) talk of Christ . . . and (I) write according to (my understanding), that (my) children (and friends) may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins. (2 Nephi 25:26)

To Feel, Believe, Know, Do or Become
I believe what we DO trumps what we FEEL or BELIEVE or even KNOW when it comes right down to it - and what we BECOME is most important of all.
You have no idea how true this is, especially when dealing with mental illness. It's so easy to let what we FEEL or "KNOW" take control and change what we should DO or BE. It takes a concerted effort to remind oneself that I must DO things that may go against what I FEEL if I want to BECOME what I can be instead of what I am. BELIEVING and KNOWING often come after the DOING.
I currently try to post original thoughts on Fridays, with quotes on Tuesdays. Feel free to comment on new or old posts. Comments on posts over a month old are moderated to avoid spam and will be released whenever I notice them. The comment policy is at the bottom of this page.

Yes.
And hopefully what we DO will be consistent with what we BELIEVE and come to KNOW.
