"Sanctify Yourselves"

I absolutely love this video. Whenever I see or hear of a young man who is worthy of holding the priesthood it makes me feel all warm inside. If they use their priesthood power to help others it makes me fall in love with them. This story touches my heart and makes my eyes tear up. Some day I am going to marry a man like Bryce in this story. A worthy son of God and returned missionary.

I actually (just out of curiosity) searched A.J. Edwards (the kid who was struck by lightning) on Facebook... he's friends with my cousin! What a small world it is. :) What I found slightly humorous, though, was that on his wall, Bryce Reynolds (the young man who gave him a priesthood blessing) had posted "Come join me on ZombieFarm!" I found it kind of funny that twelve years ago Bryce saved A.J.'s life, and now they are now Facebook friends who invite each other to play time-wasting Facebook games.

On a more spiritual note, I know that the power of the priesthood is real and that, if properly used, it can bless lives. I am so grateful for the priesthood in my life through my father, brother, and worthy male friends. I will be so glad the day I can add my husband to that list of priesthood holders in my life. One day I will marry a worthy priesthood holder in the temple and are family will live together for eternity. I have been blessed by the priesthood, and I know that I will continue to be so. Hopefully you have felt/will feel the priesthood in your life in some way. I know that the gospel is true.
