Fool's Hill




Dallin H. Oaks, speaking about the “Fool's Hill,” said that once able to get on this little hill one is then able to “with… maturity… glimpse the wider vistas beyond.” The Fool’s Hill is only a small mound, which I thought, when mounting it, was great and awful. That idea combined with advice from a dear friend, that “one should never put the horse before the cart” means: successful completion of the exam yesterday was the start, not the end, of many challenges that are yet ahead. These challenges need to be taken one at a time, in a timely, organized fashion. That friend said, "If we truly believe that God has a plan for our lives, then we should be willing to allow God to work his plan. All we have to do is be diligent and patient."


So, then I’m off to the library. Apparently, there is more to do there.

  1. That sounds like a wise decision, though who am I to say so? I'm excited to see where the Lord leads you - it's a wonderful prospect, isn't it?
