iPray

If people would only spent as much time in prayer as they would listening to iPods, i bet the world would be a nicer place to live in. There would be less despair, more hope; less aggression, more tolerance; less hate, more love.

Often, during Priesthood opening exercises, I would notice a young man obliviously "air drumming" as if he were listening to some rock song while everyone is intently listening to the Bishop giving instructions. This same lad would be out in the hallway every Sunday while classes are going on. I had a chance to talk to this young man once during an interview, and I found out that he spends most of his time listening to music. Hard, diabolic rock music, to be exact. No wonder. The Spirit cannot influence us if we are continuously under the influence of music that is loud, aggressive, and contains vulgar language.

I offered the young man some advice. Specifically some alternative things to do when he feels like listening to more of the music that is apparently controlling him. One of which was to talk to Heavenly Father. I told him that nothing shields us from temptation quicker than a humble and sincere prayer. He promised to do it. I promised him that it would make him happier.

Obey

This is one of the first designs I've come up with for the LDSpoofs line.

Many people feel that the commandments are burdensome and that they limit freedom and personal growth. But the Savior taught that true freedom comes only from following Him: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31–32). God gives commandments for our benefit. They are loving instructions for our happiness and for our physical and spiritual well-being.

Our obedience to the commandments is an expression of our love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The Savior said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). He later declared: "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love" (John 15:10). (from http://lds.org)
