I'm going to get my oil changed with that 31.95 coupon at Jack's Tire & Oil during lunchtime. I decided to drive to Provo since I'll be paid or reimbursed for miles anyway. I'm going to have to hang out with my mother too sometime next month. Either mother's Day or her birthday. 3X Driving to SLC is NOT cool although she is getting older AND I should spend time with her. George posted a recent picture of he Alisa and her friends at dinner. He is letting his beard grow. He looks like a terrorist. I don't like that. I want him to work for the church asap and SHAVE!!! I'm not sure what inspired this look. I know I don't like it at all. I have to say it nicely. My cousin Noke who is working in Japan now is rocking a beard. I told him he looks like a terrorist on Facebook. His wife liked that comment.

I wish my dad's brother in Provo would tell him to shave. My dad would be rude about it but he'd shave quickly. I should encourage him to work in the temple again. The last time I tried to change my brother's look was in high school. I kept trying to get him to dress preppy and he was NOT having it. I'd buy him clothes and try to get him to wear them. He'd tell me I was trying to make him look gay. NOOO I was NOT although gay men dress well. I want him to lose the beard. I don't think it looks professional.

2 Nephi 12
16 Moreover, the Lord saith: Because the daughters of Zion are ahaughty, and bwalk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet—


My mother used to love bringing up these HARSH scriptures cautioning the daughters of Zion. I think we should ALL look our best ALL the time. I think it is wrong if that is ALL someone is concerned about. I don't have the Molly Mormon look and I NEVER had it even when I was a missionary. Just like we should take good care of our finances we should ALSO take care of our bodies. We need to be modest BUT we don't have to look  bad. People can also act strange to people who do look good all the time. It works both ways. I don't like people assuming things about me. I don't treat people badly who DON'T dress a certain way OR don't wear makeup. I shouldn't be treated badly just because I love makeup and clothes. Perspective is what's important.

The Newton library director wrote under one of my pictures. Funny... you don't look like a librarian. How the hell is a librarian supposed to look? I just didn't respond to her comment.

Robert D. Hales - Stand Strong in Holy Places
In the temple we are prepared to and promise to live the law of consecration. Able young men begin to live this law by seeking a mission call—giving a tithing of the first years of their lives in the full-time service of the Lord. That sacrifice strengthens them to go forward to the highest covenant in life—for many, it will be to be sealed in the temple and begin an eternal family.

In addition, use your agency to develop yourself personally. As you discover your gifts and talents, remember that parents and mentors may assist you, but you must let the Spirit guide you. Choose and act for yourself. Be motivated from within. Make a plan for your life, including education or vocational training. Explore interests and skills. Work and become self-reliant. Set goals, overcome mistakes, gain experience, and finish what you begin.

Along the way, be sure to participate in family, quorum, class, and combined Mutual activities. Enjoy wholesome fun together. Through these experiences you will come to respect and appreciate one another’s spiritual gifts and the eternal, complementary natures of the sons and daughters of God.
I couldn't help it I HAD to call my brother about his beard. I asked him when he started looking like a terrorist. He started laughing and he told me he's never had a beard before. I told him I want him to work for the church so he shaves it off. Then he told me you can enter the temple with a beard but you can't work there with one. So I told him to go and work at the temple again. ALTHOUGH I did tell him to go see my mother before he shaves it off and NOT to shave it before I see him either.
