"And now, for the sake of these things which I have spoken unto you - that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God - I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering to their relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants.
And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order."
Well, I turned down a calling in the church for the first time today! But it's not as bad as it sounds. It was a calling I would've LOVED to have had, but I had to turn it down because I'm moving in 2 months and it just didn't make sense. (Brother Johnson agreed that it should go to someone else after finding out I was leaving.) The calling was Institute Secretary. My love for institute is widely known, and anything I could've done to help in any way with institute, I would've absolutely loved! Oh well, maybe I'll get to be directly involved with institute up at BYU.
