STOP normalizing the grind and START normalizing going and doing the things which the Lord hath commanded; for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he comma
i regret to inform you that the original context of this quote probably did involve a significant amount of The Grind. like in that specific instance of needing to go bribe, swindle, and murder his way to acquiring them plates, nephi was probably very much a friend of hustle culture.
which is to say.........when normalizing the grind...........do not forget. the crime

Studying with Mikey
- Mikey does not last long. Right from the start, you haven’t even finished reading the paragraph for the math question, he is checked out and ready to be done, and is doing EVERYTHING in his power to distract you to do something, anything, else.
- He’s already a successful leader of Toman, can’t he just put “leadership skills” on his resume? Why does he need good grades on top of that? He’s already an unstoppable fighter, Mikey fully believes adding on height a school smart brain would make him too OP.
- 87% of the time, you are convinced by Mikey, and decide that goofing off is the way to go. Besides, you paid attention in class, surely you’ll remember for the test.
- Spoiler alert:... you do not.
- 13% of the time, you threaten to kick him out of the classroom/your room/the library/café/wherever you convinced Mikey to study with you because “well, I’m not the ruler of Toman, so I don’t have those “leadership skills” to fall back on. I need to pass this class.”
- Mikey tries again: “Every right answer you get, you can earn a kiss.” >:)
- You: “One, that sounds like you’re trying to distract me and two, you also have not studied, so how would you know if the answer is right now?”
- Mikey returns to his own very much closed and barely touched books. “I guess I could try…” he grumbles.
- “Oh wow, what a good boy.” You say absentmindedly, actually starting to understand the new grammar pattern your teacher had been going over in class.
- “Hehehe… I’m a good boy, huh? And are you… a good girl?”
- That was the wrong answer.
- You actually kick him out this time.
- Maybe he should’ve studied more so he could answer correctly.
TLDR: Mikey does not study, and in the end... neither do you. 0/10 if you actually want to pass, 10/10 if you want to enjoy your school years.

Ootd church edition.
Eyelet blouse, knee length polkadot skirt.
My favorite flats, my favorite veil (I'm Episcopalian but no, the other women don't cover their hair. It's just me.).
Some red lipstick because I'm repping for her holiness the Holy Ghost.
Got caught by an insomnia spell last night so I didn't sleep a wink but it's Trinity Sunday so the hymns will absolute bangers (I'm gonna sing St. Patrick's Breastplate so loud), so I put on plenty of blush and dew stick and I'm going.
Also because I really just feel like I need to eat and drink some Jesus today, in both the most communal and morbid senses. 😁
Then it's First Sunday Dinner at my grandma's house. I've been assigned to bring the bread. I'm the best cook in the family so this is puzzling (Southerners will understand this in particular). Except for that this is actually luncheon, but Sunday meals at grandma's have to be called dinner. I don't make the rules.
And then. Then, it's actual dinner. With my in-laws. At Cheddars. Not one of those is a thing I want to see or spend time with. Please pray/send good vibes/whatever.
And at some point in all of this maybe having to watch the nephew because his mom's being induced today so his baby bro will likely arrive tomorrow.
