Laugh 'til it Hurts

Things that inspire me are sometimes random acts of uncontrollable laughter, something that can make me laugh from deep down inside.  I ran across such a document that made me laugh so hard I could barely speak and my family members were concerned for me.   I don't have any daughters, however, I do have three son's and I can only imagine what they would do if they had to fill out an application like this one

It is entitled.

7 Day Walk with Christ / Day 7 - CHARITY

What is the pure love of Christ?

These past 6 days have I felt a greater love for my Savior?

Have I felt his love?

"The phrase, 'Love of Christ' might have meaning in 3 dimensions:
Love for Christ
Love from Christ
Love like Christ" ~ Elder Max Caldwell

Moroni 7:48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, ^apray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true ^bfollowers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall ^cbe like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be ^dpurified even as he is pure. Amen.

"There are others among us who search for light in their lives. One such young man had broken many of the laws of the land and had been punished by a prison sentence. He even escaped from prison, only to be caught and reincarcerated a short time later. His was truly a life of darkness and misery, but through the constant efforts of a caring bishop, this young man decided to change his ways and return to Christ. With a meek and lowly heart he began to repent, and the Spirit of the Holy Ghost touched his heart.
As he prepared to leave prison after serving his term, there to greet him at the gate were his bishop, who had worked with him all those years, and he brought with him his father, mother, brothers, and sisters, who received him with open arms and great rejoicing. What a deep appreciation this young man had for his bishop and his family, who had stood by him even though he had caused them much embarrassment and many sleepless nights with his wayward activities. But their faith never wavered, and indeed a miracle was wrought. Today, this young man serves as the elders quorum president of his ward.
What great force changed the life of this young man from one of spiritual darkness to one of truth and light? It was the pure love of Christ, which the bishop portrayed as he worked with him. And this pure love of Christ is charity. (See Moro. 7:47.)"

7 Day Walk with Christ / Day 6 - TRUTH

How can the Holy Ghost help me become more like Christ?

President Wilford Woodruff called the gift of the Holy Ghost the greatest Gift we can receive in mortality.

What am I doing to accomplish the Holy Ghost being my constant companion?

D&C 121:46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant ^acompanion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of ^brighteousness and truth; and thy ^cdominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever.

"The Bible’s teachings about the Holy Ghost are reaffirmed and elaborated in the Book of Mormon and in modern revelations. The Holy Ghost is the means by which God inspires and reveals his will to his children (e.g., D&C 8:2–3). The Holy Ghost bears record of the Father and of the Son (see 3 Ne. 28:11; D&C 20:27; D&C 42:17). He enlightens our minds and fills us with joy (see D&C 11:13). By the power of the Holy Ghost we may know the truth of all things (see Moro. 10:5). By his power we may have the mysteries of God unfolded to us (see 1 Ne. 10:19), all things which are expedient (see D&C 18:18; D&C 39:6). The Holy Ghost shows us what we should do (see 2 Ne. 32:5). We teach the gospel as we are directed by the Holy Ghost, which carries our words into the hearts of those we teach (see 2 Ne. 33:1)."

7 Day Walk with Christ / Day 5 - SERVICE

How does the Lord want me to serve?

Is the Lord first in my life?

How do I really feel about the service I give?

Does serving the Lord make me happy?

"Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves. By and large, if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves."

"The best antidote I know for worry is work. One of the great ironies of life is this: he or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served." ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

One of the greatest forms of service is to allow others to serve you. The principle behind this is, "We love those whom we serve."

Luke 9:24 ^aFor whosoever will save his life shall ^blose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

7 Day Walk with Christ / Day 4 - SELF WORTH

How can I improve my thoughts?

Am I trying to be the BEST I can be?

Do I try never to compare myself to others - only to myself?

Do my thoughts affect my attitude?

"What you sincerely think in your heart of Jesus Christ will determine what you are and what you do."  ~ David O. McKay

Isaiah 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a ^arebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
