It was exactly what I needed to hear. :) Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-28331092260000392422012-02-29T18:10:41.350-08:002012-02-29T18:10:41.350-08:00I'm the exact same way; every little action ge...I'm the exact same way; every little action gets over-analyzed until it's like a marked up passage in a book with notes all over the place and I'm still trying to find fifteen different ways to read it. It causes a lot of pain sometimes, and can weaken my mind, fatigue me. But on the flip side it causes me to see the world differently than others do and the over-thinking gets me to find unique points of view that I enjoy. <br /><br />It always surprises me when I come here and I read a post of yours that deals with almost exactly what I'm going through. It always uplifts me.Mika McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318779510041052464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-62119464780214779132012-02-29T16:09:38.403-08:002012-02-29T16:09:38.403-08:00I think this is a problem for anyone trying to liv...I think this is a problem for anyone trying to live more 'deliberately' and 'authentically'. I put that in quotes because the terms kind of annoy me sometimes, but in this context I see it as attempting to strike that balance between personal effort and grace. Thank you.

And you are right, I do care about you, as my brother, even though we have not corresponded in over 2 months (which just means we are both really busy).<br /><br />Second, this is a great post. You seem to have been pondering some of the things that were said in the comments to your dating pool post (or perhaps I'm just imagining you were), and yet, interestingly, your words came full circle and helped me take a better approach to a decision I am in the middle of right now.<br /><br />Third, I fully anticipate I will be reading some day in the not too distant future a post on this blog announcing your engagement to a girl you care about and are attracted to. I have faith in you and in God about that (if you can begin believing it yourself that is). It happened for me and I'm just a normal guy like you; no better or no more worthy than you -- so there is absolutely no reason it won't happen for you. And sooner rather than later, I believe.<br /><br />Last, we ALL need to get over ourselves from time to time.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />your friend and fellow brother on this journeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-33800274079492309972012-02-29T07:29:18.388-08:002012-02-29T07:29:18.388-08:00I can't speak for other SSA men, but I definit...I can't speak for other SSA men, but I definitely have the tendency to think too much. I find that when I think too much, I'm very likely to crowd out any inspiration by the spirit. Taking time to be calm helps me be more in touch.Andrew Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638554382888308671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-88716069667237449742012-02-28T18:43:53.334-08:002012-02-28T18:43:53.334-08:00good thoughts. you should read the very last arti...good thoughts. you should read the very last article in the March Ensign.
