Day 6

Sorry, I'm behind a few days. It looks like we won't finish on Christmas Day. Dustin and I were out of town for the weekend. I'll keep posting though for those of you who are following along.

Day 6: How can I improve my thoughts?

Read: Doctrine and Covenants 6:16

          Alma 37:36-37

          Doctrine and Covenats 121:45-46

Ponder: Do I keep all idle, unclean, or negative thought out of my mind?

             What would Jesus think about?

             How can I improve my thoughts?

             Do my thoughts affect my attitude?

             What do I think about when I have nothing to think about?

Myself

I have to live with myself, and so -

I want to be fit for myelf to know.

I want to be able as the days go by

Always to look myself straight in the eye.

I dont want to stand with the setting sun

And hate myself for the things I've done.

I don't want to keep on a closet shelf

A lot of secrets about myself -

And fool myself as I come and go

Into thinking that nobody else will know,

The kind of man (or woman) I really am.

I don't want to dress myself in shame.

I want to go out with my head erect;

I want to deserve all men's respect.

And, here in the struggle for fame and pelf

I want to be able to like myself.

I don't want to think as I come and go

That I am bluster and bluff and empty show.

I can never hide myself from me

I see what others may never see;

I know what others may never know

I can never fool myself!

And so - whatever happens I want to be

Self respecting and conscience free!!
