Soap in your mouth!

Who has had a bar of soap put in their mouth to wash it out for saying something bad? I have tasted soap before, its not very enjoyable. Although the soap probably didn't actually clean the bad words out of my mouth, I definitely thought twice about saying that word again.

Sometimes we make other mistakes that we don't have soap for. When we lie we might get soap in our mouths again, but how do we clean our hearts and minds that are effected by other mistakes? Let me tell you! With the Atonement of Jesus Christ. With the Atonement we can be cleansed and healed spiritually and emotionally. Soap leaves a bad taste in your mouth but repenting leaves a wonderful feeling of comfort and a sense of cleanliness that no soap can provide. The process of repentance and applying the Atonement in our lives may seem difficult but the end results will be far greater appreciated then the lessons we learned from getting soap in our mouths.

Glenn Beck Interview

This an interview with Glenn Beck on his conversion story. He talks about where he came from and the difference that being a Mormon has brought to his life. He also talks about a blessing that he received very quickly after being baptized. Its amazing to me to see the change that the Gospel of Jesus Christ can bring into someones life. Glenn Beck is popular in today's media and news, but none of that matters to God, what matters is that his children are happy. Not filled with fleeting happiness such as drugs, or alcohol. Our God is our Father, one that cares for us, one that loves us and one that wants us to be with him in his kingdom. He has provided us the tools and means to be happy, we need only seek after them. Those tools and means are the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The atonement cleanses us from sin to allow us to return to God, and it provides life (in so many ways) after we die. Like Glenn we can all find the happiness that we pursue as Americans.
