'The place whereon thou standest is holy ground...'

“Earth’s crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; And only he who sees takes off his shoes.” - Elizabeth Browning

If you want to read a really short, supercool talk click here... its called "Seeking the Spirit of God."

And then go watch an episode of "Planet Earth" for the full effect.

Brilliant, this is my favorite line from the talk...

The great battle of our premortal estate was a struggle for individual souls. It is the same battle we wage here, which is to become supremely spiritual beings. President McKay said, “Spirituality is the consciousness of victory over self.” 11 It is the sure knowledge that we are winning the struggle for the soul. Sensuality is the realm of self-indulgence. Spirituality is the realm of self-victory.

this is steven. I followed a link from andrew's blog to find you. How are you doing my brother? I haven't heard from you in a while. I'm at the Y for only one more week. This semester has been a crazy cool time. Classes have been chill and i've gone to a couple shows. I'm just about tired of hearing mission talk, because i have to wait until june to put in my papers. I say "just about" because i'm still stoked to go...eventually. I"m likin the blog, you can check my very young and short blog at anindiecleanalternative.blogspot.com

Until then, keep it real man. Let me know how you are doing.
