pet peeves

1.  when people suggest that something willingly given up doesn't count as a sacrifice.  sacrifice isn't defined by reluctance!!  also, when people say that something isn't a sacrifice when we receive blessings as a result of giving the thing up or when happiness results.  happiness IS what results from sacrifice.  sacrifice is not exclusive to sadness and hesitation, people!

2.  when people suggest that silence during a testimony is a bad thing.  it's a great thing! we can all sit and mediate and think about our own testimonies.  silence, as they say, is golden. 

so, there you have it.
