Thresholds

So I wanted to talk a bit about thresholds for a minute.

If you were standing on the edge of a cliff, what would your threshold
be? Would you go right up to the edge, or would you place a lot of
space between you and the edge? I think that as long as I had some
sort if handhold or something that I could trust, I would just hang
out over the edge. Where would you be?
Then I started thinking about thresholds of expectations. What is your
happiness threshold? What do you expect happiness to be like? What do
you expect that you will have to do before you can be happy? What is
that point from your current emotional space to "happiness" ?
I think faith is simply acting beyond your threshold. That is why
commandments and inspiration and the Spirit are all so important,
because they give us enough guidance to act beyond the threshold of
our own knowledge or experience. We taught someone this week who said
that God would have to appear to him before he would believe in his
existence. That he has thought about it so much that there is not
enough logic to prove that Christ could be Savior. True fact. It
requires a threshold. That is truth that no mortal process is big
enough to encompass.
But that's the overly complicated part of my week.
Missionary life rocks. Sorry this email is super lame. I love you all!!

Cross your threshold. Believe in something beyond what you've yet
experienced. Act according to truth, not to what you feel. Truth can
come only through Christ. There is truly no other way to truth,
happiness, or love.
