The Do's and Don'ts: Where do you fall short?

[Defender of the Faith 777]

LDS Church camp doesn't start until July 22!  So there's a little bit of time left.  I decided that completely leaving the forums would not be a good idea.  I was a bit unorganized.  However, I still won't have time to be a mod.  Sorry about sending an application in and all.   I went into a sort of spiritual panic.  I didn't realize how little faith I had that God would come through and bring people to Him; I sorta saw how the world was dying and I was wasting my time inside on the computer.
