Choice and Accountability

Color: Orange

"I will remain free to choose good over evil and will accept responsibility for my choices."
Scripture
Joshua 24:15: "And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

(Thanks to David Olson, Stake Director of Libraries, Midvale Utah Union Fort Stake, who compiled these Young Women Resources. He said he found many teachers and leaders were "re-inventing the wheel" in gathering information for lessons and that many were using non-Church approved materials. David, with the help of other librarians, put together this extensive resource index to allow more time to be spent in "spiritual preparation."
