I've tried to write a new post for a few days now, but I have been stopped. I think the Lord is taking literally my expressed wish to only post when moved upon by the Spirit. Perhaps I have not been as in tune as I need to be, perhaps it is only because I am sick and cranky, perhaps it is just not my time, but it is obvious the Spirit is whispering through others.
This post on truth-seeking by Clean Cut is exactly what I would have wanted to post here. (Sometimes I wish I were better at quotes. He uses them masterfully.) Go and read it and think about how to apply it. I believe it holds one of the keys to happiness. It is just too bad that so many people see "look[ing] for strength and goodness rather than weakness and failings" as an attempt to blindly follow. I don't think anything said in that post means you can't view Church history and policy with open eyes, just that there are two ways to be blind.
