There are two recent talks that have lingered with me and have affected my attitudes about my involvement on the internet. One was Sister Beck’s talk to the Relief Society sisters of the Church, where she quoted President Hinckley (law of witnesses!), who said:

When I had my first baby in 1987, I found myself newly graduated from college and newly out of a paying job. I wasn’t sure how to keep my brain intact whilst whiling away the hours, topless on the couch, trying to figure out that nursing thing.
