"The Blog Almost Too Boring To Be The Most Boring Blog in America ... for Over 5 Years!"

until it got too many red cards from Wounded Duck and the Boredom Enforcement Committee ... now the tortoise's goal is to get to 10 red cards so he can get Big Dog to drive down and take a good long walk with the tortoise

P. S. This blog listens to its readers. We have the Benjamin Category Override for 5+ mile walks and now, it humbles Tortoise to say he has been named "Lou", by Doug Jr, in memory of Mr. Consistency himself, Lou Gehrig. Tortoise can hardly type the words to think he is in any way comparable to the noble Iron Horse. Thank you!

The spiritual thought I enjoyed most today was:

"One of the greatest sins, both in magnitude and extent--for it enters into the lives of every one of us without exception to some degree--is the sin of ingratitude.  When we violate a commandment, no matter how small and insignificant we may think it to be we show our ingratitude to our Redeemer.  It is impossible for us to comprehend the extent of His suffering when He carried the burden of the sins of the whole world, a punishment so severe that we are informed that blood came from the pores of His body and this was before He was taken to the cross.  The punishment of physical pain coming from the nails driven in His hands and feet, was not the greatest of His suffering, excruciating as that surely was.  The greater suffering was the spiritual and mental anguish coming from the load of our transgressions which He carried.  If we understood the extent of that suffering and His suffering on the cross, surely none of us would wilfully be guilty of sin.  We would not give way to the temptations, the gratification of unholy appetites and desires and Satan could find no place in our hearts.  As it is, whenever we sin, we show our ingratitude and disregard of the suffering of the Son of God by and through which we shall rise from the dead and live forever.  If we really understood and could feel even to a small degree, the love and gracious willingness on the part of Jesus Christ to suffer for our sins we would be willing to repent of all our transgressions and serve Him."

-- Joseph Fielding Smith, "The Restoration of All Things", p. 199

I hope to keep this in the front of my mind always.  I do want to show my gratitude to the Lord.  I cannot comprehend what He did for me and for everyone.  Repenting and serving Him seems to be the very least I can do.
