So we were talking about how you're suppose to worship Jesus Christ in my D&C class today and it was quite interesting. We talked about how we can't worship Christ until we emulate him. A couple of awesome quotes were brought up that I've been thinking about all day. "Perfect emulation is perfect worship" and "Emulation is the sincerest form of worship". Pretty cool huh? I've never thought about worship as emulation before.

And in my Developing Psychology we were talking about suicide and depression. Why do young adults in the church have such a hard time with depression? Well, someone brought up the point that we have a thought in our head that says we must be perfect because that is what the gospel tells us. But, did you know that perfect in the gospel does't mean flawless? It means whole or spiritually reborn. For the longest time, I thought of perfection as flawlessness. It's good to know that it's not.

  1. That is pretty cool with the whole emulating God thing, I have heard it once or twice but never really thought it about. And the suicide thing, so true. We aren't told to be perfect but to strive for perfection meaning it is always a work in progress
