A group of us are meeting by means of Chatzy on Sunday evenings for a twelve month course about 'Self Reliance' although Henry B. Eyring, a member of the First Presidency, apparently took exception to the title of the course, feeling that it is not so much 'Self' reliance as it is reliance on the Lord that brings peace. I believe he has a point. As JBP says: I'm going to say what I think and let things happen. Faith in truth-faith in the logos. Make a decision about how to use your words. Are you going to use your words to manipulate or tell the truth and let things happen. Get better all the time at carefully articulating what constitutes the truth. Don't expect to deceive God and reality itself. Your lies will aggregate and take you out- self contempt.
If we fail to integrate God and his great love and gifts into our plans and considerations we ignore the most important aspect of our existence. I am grateful that I know I am a Child of God and that he trusts me with stewardship for myself and others.
