Bridle Your Passions

Notice that Alma says nothing about burying, hiding, or killing our passions, but rather bridling them. Also note that the purpose for bridling our passions is so that we may be filled with love. Allowing our passions to run free and uncontrolled may seem tempting, but if we will control them--rather than allow them to control us--we can put them to good use and become creatures of deliberate acts of love rather than uncontrolled acts of passion.

Quench Not The Spirit

If there's someone who does an even better job than Alma at making me feel chastised, it's Jacob!  And When we feel chastised or when we hear someone (whether the Spirit or someone else) tell us something we need to improve on, our first instinct is often to "quench" that thought.  But when we accept correction with humility, we will be better able to improve ourselves and overcome our weaknesses.

Mock Not Thy Brother

It's sobering to remember that Alma was addressing members of the Church in Alma chapter 5.  These verses in particular stuck out to me when I read them.  It's almost second nature, especially online, to be condescending and rude to enemies, strangers, and even friends and family when interacting with them.  We should heed Alma's loving yet stern warning and try to remove these negative interactions from our lives.  Let us be kind to one another.

News » Site Updates (Ads and Home Screen)

You may have noticed a couple of changes to the website. Firstly, all 3rd party ads have been removed! This is because our first Patreon goal has been met! So thanks to those who have taken the time to pledge their support. The 3rd party ads will be down for February and for every month after that we continue to meet or exceed that goal. If you haven't already, consider making just a small contribution (even as little as fifty cents!). It will help keep the site free of 3rd party ads and bring us closer to our next goal, which is more frequent updates to the main story! Remember, you can change or cancel your pledge at any time. Click here to visit our Patreon page to help support Aww, Feathers! and see what fun perks are available to patrons.

The second update is the homepage. Just going to awwfeathers.com used to take you directly to the newest comic page. Now it will take you to a dedicated home/welcome screen that includes links to the very first page, the first page in the current chapter, and the newest page, as well as recent news updates like this one. I think this will be useful for new visitors to the site. If you preferred just going directly to the newest page and don't want to deal with an extra click in between, you can instead go to http://ift.tt/1QWV7n3. That link will always take you to the newest page. You can even bookmark that URL so you can skip the home screen in the future if you desire.

If you have any feedback for these site changes, let me know. Thanks again for your support!
