Elder Holland's "Cast Not Away, Therefore, Your Confidence," finally motivated me to take "the law school plunge" after several years of delay.  In retrospect, I'm not sure that was such a good thing , but the thing is, I'm not sure what else I would (or should) have done.  (Not to rain on your thread ... ... Sorry!)

[DBMormon]

sorry to hear that.  I had hoped this thread would generate more interest.  I would have thought all of us would have a talk or two that just meant the world to us and we would want to share with others.
