(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)

An Achingly Raw, Honest Look at Unrealistic Self-Expectations and Their Damaging Effects
Thanks for sharing this link. I needed the reminder to put my expectations into proper perspective. I really liked comment 6, but then I always like what Thomas Parkin has to say!
I loved this! I have often been dismayed by the effects of perfectionism and the feeling of never being good enough that seems to pervade Mormonism. It's nice to see someone standing up for being human and relying on grace for those things that we aren't (and probably never will be) perfect at.
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.
