Urban Poly Princess

I need to drive to Salt Lake City tonight for training. There is a conference Lead the Change tomorrow. It rarely if ever comes to Utah. It cost almost $300 and my boss paid it for me so it's not like I can stay away. I am excited to attend. I was hoping to find someone to carpool with but I didn't. I'm going to leave at 5pm. At least the traffic will be going the other way. I'll spend the night in Salt Lake City tonight and then again tomorrow and drive back early in the morning. I'm taking my foundation and my short blonde wig. I guess I could be a flapper for Halloween but I don't have a flapper dress. I should've bought a crown so I could be a princess. Kendra's having a party Thursday. Lark is having one Friday. This is a party weekend. ONLY it's a mid-singles party weekend which is NOT my favorite BUT I need to try and I haven't been at all. I am leaving the Friday one early to sleep for the temple.

One of my students told me to find a crown at the dollar store. I used to have formal gloves. I wish I still had them. I will be a princess if I can find a crown I like. I have to figure out what I have at home. I think the easiest thing for me to be for Halloween is Marilyn Monroe. Since I go to Salt Lake City today I can get my short blonde wig at my mother's house. At lunchtime today I'm going to pack for tomorrow and for staying in SLC tonight. I have a white feather boa at my mother's house too.

2 Nephi 18
22 And they shall look unto the earth and behold trouble, and^adarkness, dimness of anguish, and shall be driven to darkness.

The language is still beautiful, the images are still vivid BUT... this chapter is very confusing because like the last I am unfamiliar with the references used.

Personal Strength Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ - Richard G. Scott
It is a fundamental truth that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can be cleansed. We can become virtuous and pure. However, sometimes our poor choices leave us with long-term consequences. One of the vital steps to complete repentance is to bear the short- and long-term consequences of our past sins. Their past choices had exposed these Ammonite fathers to a carnal appetite that could again become a point of vulnerability that Satan would attempt to exploit.

Interesting. Complete repentance exists but a once carnal appetite can remain and become a point of vulnerability
