He talks about Joseph and potipher's wife, about Nephi when Lehi murmured against the Lord, and about Job. How they all put God first, above heir families and beautiful women and boss's wives.
I'm a people pleaser, so sometimes I laugh when people say rude things or I don't stand for truth and righteousness sometimes. I sit for truth and righteousness, and that is NOT enough. I need to stand for it. And not laugh when I shouldn't, and leave when I shouldn't be a part of a conversation, and stand for what is right and defend the truth as often as I can, in a loving way every time.

I've had a really good example of that this week. Landon's been doing some selfish things against Mari. I listened somewhat passively to him talk about. I should have told him that marriage is ordained of God and that he needed to stick it out and work hard to save three marriage. Instead i simply agreed that they were really different and that their goals were different also, supporting, essentially, his decision to leave her. But then I talked to Jordan. And spent a day thinking adopt it and praying about it. Jordan totally stood up for truth and righteousness. He didn't fear what Landon would think. He bore witness that marriage is ordained if God and that we are happy when we keep the commandments and fulfill our responsibilities. He told Landon is was very wrong to leave Mari.
Jordan was a good example of putting the Lord first, even in the face of someone he loves.
