For Christmas

I bought Gary the book, "Acting in Doctrine" by David Bednar.  We are reading through it together (rather slowly)

One of the subjects he examines is "Character."  He suggests, as a help, to think of the word ACT in the middle of CharACTer.   I'm too lazy to go downstairs right now to quote directly from the book (not sure what that says about my character).  But, thinking of the word that way, helps as we evaluate the connection between our actions and our character.  And, as he also points out, it helps to think of the first 4 letters (CHAR) as being charity.   Charity + Act = Character.    It has been a good reminder for me.
