Video One Video Two Be on the lookout, we plan on making these videos every 2nd and 4th Sunday and emailing out links to them.  But in case watching a video isn't your thing, I had made up an overview of the talk if you will and posted it on our bulletin board at church. (Outside the bishops office.) Here it is! Becoming like Him By Elder Scott D. Whiting Of the Seventy In these times, when “all things [appear to] be in commotion; and … fear [is seemingly] upon all people,” 17 the only antidote, the only remedy, is to strive to be like the Savior… … the Savior’s admonition to be “even as I am” 1 is daunting and seemingly unattainable... you may find it mentally more comfortable to walk a path with no upward incline and little growth.
