Weeks ago I attempted to create a profile for mormon.org. I was doing it out of a sense of duty, and thought I could quickly check it off the list while Harris operated his toy crane and while Teddy gnawed on his super-sized lego. But, I was wrong.
The template asks, "How do you live your faith?" It seems like a serious question deserving of a serious answer. I thought about it and determined the allotted 2000 characters weren't sufficient. I couldn't think of anything I could say to capture how much my faith means to me, and that although my efforts to be Christ-like are quite incipient they are also fruitful because of His power and goodness, not mine.
Because I failed to answer the question and create the profile, I decided to keep this blog instead. I will record my day-to-day attempts to apply the teachings of Christ's gospel and my evolving understanding of them . I am hopeful that it will help me to someday be able answer the question in 2000 charcters, but if I only had two words they would be: grace and progress.
