priesthood = sexy

Do you know what one of my most favorite things is?  Seeing the Priesthood honor their Priesthood.
 
I love seeing my guy friends discussing gospel principles and doctrine DAILY, attending church, asking questions, giving blessings, serving in the ward (home teaching, callings, helping someone move), wanting to read and discuss a chapter in the Book of Mormon as a group of friends, carrying oil on their keychain, devoting time to temple work, teaching, observing the Sabbath day, paying tithing, praying, and just being an overall good friend, listener, and follow of Christ.
 
How grateful I am for these kind of men in my life.  I was blessed with a dad and two brothers who are wonderful examples of this for me and who help me want to be better and do better.  I am also thankful to have been reminded of that this last week - the men in my ward are phenomenal!!
 
I just want to say thank you to all of the worthy men out there who honor their Priesthood and love the gospel.  Thank you for being such great examples! You help me want to be my best self.  There is nothing more sexy than seeing a man put his Priesthood into action. ;)
 
Yes, I do look up to and respct you!
