In May Conference 1998, Elder Holland posed the following question, “Are we really nurturing our youth in a way that will sustain them when the stresses of life appear? Or are we giving them a kind of theological Twinkie – spiritually empty calories?"
I love this quote and it makes me wonder, am I nourishing myself and my family spiritually, or am I feeding myself and them spiritual Twinkies? As we enter the holiday season, I hope we can all take the time to spiritually nourish ourselves and others.
This year has been one big Cupcake but it tasted so good. Next year it is get to the scriptures and start eating protein and veggies-for the Rileys-FRUIT! Thanks for posting. What a great analogy. I love those who post.Wish more would!
ReplyDeleteI just saw that Hostess, the twinkie maker is filing for bankruptcy! I'm pretty sure there is an additional analogy in that story!!!
