Random Thoughts

A collection of thoughts I've had during the week, which have little to do with one another:

It's interesting that the more we come to know another person, the more we learn about their imperfections.  But because we love them, we are accepting of their imperfections, willing to work with them on perfection as they are willing to work with us.  And I think that is one of the distinguishing characteristics of true love, as opposed to selfish "love."  It is one of the ways we can tell them apart, both within ourselves, and with others.


Having friends on Facebook is no substitute for having friends in real life.

It's already November!  That's crazy!  And this post just keeps on getting longer and longer.  Time is just flying by.  During my chemistry lab I figured that we only meet eight more times this semester.  Pretty soon, Christmas will be here and I'll be wishing it was still Fall semester.

This might be irreverent, but I couldn't help thinking of BYU football when I read this verse:
"And he commanded them that they should arise and stand up upon their feet.  And they arose up and stood upon their feet." -3 Nephi 20:2
In other news on the internet, Rory Williams is the new Chuck Norris. I thought they were pretty good, though you'd have to be caught up on the show to understand some of them.

Will I one day be a good husband and father?  I hear about motherly instincts all the time.Is there such a thing as a fatherly instinct that will help me know what I'm supposed to do?  Is there a way to prepare for that, besides doing it?  I will never have been a husband or a father until it's important for me to be a good one.  There doesn't seem to be any practicing built into this life for this kind of thing.  All I have experience in is being a son and a brother, and I don't think I'm very good at either of those.
