Be obvious

Last night at our ward FHE, bishop shared a message about cairns.
What is a cairn you may ask? It's a trail marker made of stacked rocks.

He shared a story of when he was hiking and got separated from his group and realized he didn't know where the trail was. He started hiking and soon found two rocks stacked and a third rock kind of leaning on the other two. He wasn't sure it was a cairn, but didn't have anything else to go on, so he followed it and sure enough it lead to other cairns and he found the rest of his group. He compared that with another time when he came across a cairn that was very clearly stacked and ENORMOUS. It was obviously a cairn. No doubt or hesitation, he knew he was on the right path and could carry on with confidence.

He challenged us to be obvious cairns. When people look at us, they should be able to tell right away what we stand for and know that it's okay to follow our example. We need to be obvious in what we believe, by what we do.

Don’t you just love that? BE OBVIOUS. People shouldn’t question if we are different or not. It should be obvious that we are different. They should see us as the Christ loving, good people that we are taught to be. Hopefully by seeing that it will invite them to ask questions, follow, listen and accept the principles that make us that way. Hopefully we can live in a way that people can follow us with confidence and know that they are on the right path.
