Charity

So, last Thursday night (Feb. 9th) I got a phone call from the bishop of our ward.  He asked me to prepare a talk about charity to share in church on Sunday (Feb. 12th).  (Why me?  Why not Luke?...c'mon now!)

Yes...2 days to prepare a 15 minute talk...and the topic is charity...Yikes!  But, despite the "rough" start, I think it turned out pretty good.  (If the topic had been 'bad attitude', I would have finished it Thursday night!  Easy!)

I based my talk on these other talks:  (it's what I always do, regardless of how long I have to prepare...)

Charity Never Faileth, by Silvia Allred
The Great Commandment, by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
"You Are My Hands", by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Cultivating Divine Attributes, by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

You should read them, if you get the chance  :)

In the meantime here is a wonderful video about charity...(too bad I just couldn't show this for my talk...)

Happy Sunday!

It's especially happy for me...now that my talk is over with!  (And I'm sure Luke will get his turn...sometime...hahahahahaha!)
