http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5...-690-23,00.html

President Hinckley spoke last conference of a dream President Joseph F Smith had about being clean. It's an excellent talk and I wanted to start a discussion.

Of all the possible topics that President Hinckley could have spoken on, why do you think he chose this? Has the talk changed your life at all? Are you thinking differently? Have you seen any blessings from living clean lives?

Let's get a discussion going. What are your thoughts when you read it?

I hope you don't mind me joining the menfolk.

That was a wonderful talk and a reminder of how wonderful it feels when you're making the right choices.

Just as you have once again by putting up this post. {thank you}

Your Baptism does!!! And the sacrament each week!! The Temple is a place to make further commitments to the Lord...sticking to those commitments keeps you clean. We are ALL washed in the blood, even when we mess up...Jesus wants us to repent and keep going, that is the key...just set your face toward the mark and don't look back...even if you stumble, just pick yourself up and keep going!!!

In a sense, yes...by taking the Sacrament, we are renewing our baptismal covenants..We don't get wet every week, but we remember our Lord and renew our commitments to him every week.
