Quick post

I have to write the skeleton of this post and just get it out because I have to leave to go to my Grandma's in a few minutes. I'm acting as a taxi driver today.

I hate taxis.

Regardless, here's why I'm winning lately:

I've remembered my duty. As a Priesthood holder, not so much - as a respectable male human being, quite a bit. I cannot afford to let sexually mature 19-year-old young woman stay over at my house with my family while I am not morally clean. To do so jeopardizes them and myself. I owe it to them to offer a safe place to stay, and while I am not morally clean, it is not a safe place to stay. I owe it to myself and my God to do better than I've ever done in the past; to forge a stronger relationship and bond with my Heavenly Father than I ever have before. I owe it to my God and my closest friends to become clean and worthy to enter into the Temple and serve a worthy 2 year mission.

I would make a good missionary. I have experiences that will benefit people out in the field. I have the attitude and the mindsets that would help me be an effective missionary and example of a Christ-like life. And by golly, I have the intelligence to do a good job. I'm not an ordinary knife in the drawer. I'm somewhat unique, and if I seem presumptuous by saying that, well, maybe I am.

Regardless, I need to be morally clean before I really have any right to tell other people to be morally clean. And I need to be morally clean so Buggie can safely stay at my house without fear of any misconduct on my part. I owe it to her to give her safe lodging. And I owe it to my God to act on the knowledge I possess and get clean.

I'm on day 13 because I stopped offering up stupid excuses not to do what I needed to do.
