Many years ago while teaching Elders Quorum and I don't remember the topic but one of the elders just kind of thinking out loud said, "I just wish we could get like an occasional report card or something so I could know how I am doing", the room went silent and there were a lot of nods in agreement, finally another one of the elders spoke up and said " we do get one, it's called a Temple Recommend". I thought about that remark and thought it was a good response but as the years went by and I got older had more experience in life and in the church and got somewhat wiser and more knowledgeable with doctrine and people I realized a Temple Recommend is a good start but there is more to it. My father gave a talk when I was a teenager that I have never forgotten one part of and it comes right from section 76, those who inherit the Celestial Kingdom are those who are "valiant" in their testimony of Jesus, plain and simple, no if, ands or buts, no middle of the road. I believe in mercy and I believe Our Father in Heaven and our Savior do and will extend mercy but I think to many rely solely on that and not on trying to be valiant.

Yep! Well said. It would be wonderful if everyone felt the same PEACE, HOPE, and JOY some of us find in our SAVIOR and REDEEMER, JESUS the CHRIST. I have long been blessed with this and never doubt that I will inherit Celestial glory, because I am confident in His ability to take me HOME. So excited! The testimony of Jesus - both ours of Him and HIS of US will be of utmost importance. We all - in and out of The Church - need more of this teaching. We need to be more excited about JESUS and His role in His work! Thank you.

While in the US Army I attended a class taught by an Army chaplain. When I walked in I saw he’d written on the board: KISS OFF. He explained it stood for: Keep It Simple Silly Or Face Frustration. When I or others around me get bogged down in doctrine or culture, I remember that chaplain and the simplifying message on the board.
