“In the long run, our most deeply held desires will govern our choices, one by one and day by day, until our lives finally add up to what we have really wanted most--for good or otherwise. We can indeed have eternal life, if we really want it, so long as we don't want something else more.” IfsWantLongRunningWantedDesireChoicesOur LivesEternalAddLong RunsWant SomethingEternal LifeOur Choices Author:Bruce C.

“You must realize that the true desire to express affection can be motivated by things other than true love.... In short, one might simply say: save your kisses--you might need them someday. And when anyof you--men and women--are given entrance to the heart of a trusting young friend, you stand on holy ground. In such a place you must be honest with yourself--and with your friend--about love and the expression of it's symbols.” MenNeedsHeartMightYoungDesireGivenRealizingHonestExpressionHolyKissingMen And WomenAffectionSymbolsBeing HonestSomedayMotivatedEntrancesHonest With YourselfBe Honest With YourselfYoung FriendsHoly Ground Author:Bruce C.

“The Savior desires to save us from our inadequacies as well as our sins. Inadequacy is not the same as being sinful - we have far more control over the choice to sin than we may have over our innate capacity. . . . A sense of falling short or falling down is not only natural but essential to the mortal experience. Still, after all we can do, the Atonement can fill that which is empty, straighten our bent parts, and make strong that which is weak.” WellsMayStillsDesireChoicesFallStrongCan DoNaturalSinEssentialsCapacityEmptyWeakMortalsEmptinessSaviorBentInnateFalling DownAtonementInadequacy Author:Bruce C.
