The Good Place

I hope everyone had a good General Conference weekend! I ran the St. George Marathon Saturday so ended up recovering/sleeping through a lot of it... I do however plan on going back through and listening to all the talks!

This week I started watching The Good Place. (My husband is re-watching them all with me) It's a humorous show, where this girl dies and mistakingly to "The Good Place." She then convinces her, "soul mate" to teach her how to be good...

As I have been watching that show, I have also thought about the knowledge I have of The Plan of Salvation, and how different The Plan is from this silly TV show. Some comparisons of the shows teaching's vs God's:

Good Place: Every deed we do has a positive and negative effect, and the combinations of our good and bad deeds are calculated to determine whether or not we will make it into The Good Place.
God's teachings: We have a Savior that if we repent, we can rely on the power of His atonement, become clean from our sins, and work to overcome our weaknesses and one day become like him.

Good Place: Each person who makes it to The Good Place is given a Soul Mate.
God's teachings: We each can choose our eternal companion.

How grateful I am to know of God's plan for us!
