How believing in science could literally kill you should be a quick explanation.
If you choose to believe in science and empiricism for truth, then you no longer believe that you were created for any purpose, but evolved. Well, why bother making yourself look better to find a mate if you simply are not the fittest? Further, if you believe you evolved into your form, what is the point of disliking it? Nature will either select who you are or not, no fretting or disliking anything about you is going to help.

charity
The title made me laugh like the song " I walk by Faith" because I had a good friend named Charity who was a preacher's daughter, and we knew a girl named Faith who lived in a Funeral parlor, so I'd always wonder if she had Heavenly Parents, or if I ought to walk beside someone else.
Anyhow, none of my thoughts are about Charity, ya know most of my best friends were preacher's kids, Marcia was my best friend of all and both of her parents were Methodist preachers. Her mom was the preacher at my Grandmother's church. I have 2 things to pass on socially to whomever may find this.
1) Although I really dislike being in constant need for the charity of others. I think it is because Heavenly Father already knows that I would give all I have. He needs no evidence. Or perhaps he is requiring something else of me. I remember being so upset after and during my divorce, that there was only one way I could understand, and it was through a story I read in the Book of Mormon where two preachers Alma and Amulek were imprisoned and anyone who believed the things the two taught were burned to death. One asked the other why this happened. Can't they or God intervene in theory bahalf? The reply answers so many unanswered questions for me. No, those people need more than their words to demonstrate who they are and the wicked people will not be punished because of what they had in their hearts to do, bit what they did.
Although, it often appears like judgement doesn't exists or doesn't seem fair to us, we can know that it has only been suspended. I apply the same thought to the fact that it seems unfair that I am not asked to give money because I would. 2) In a therapy session in Corinth, MS. A psychologist was very very wise and actually helpful. He encouraged me to keep on writing music explaining that for sounds to benefit others they do not need to be overly complex. But that the most simple melodies are so beautiful and as long as I had a heart, mind, and working finger I could write and perform beautiful piano music, anything else would just be a cop out. Regarding charity, he made it sound fortunate or lucky to be so deprived. He asked me first if I believed in Jesus Christ. Everyone always asks that. I thought. Ah hah! Maybe he is going to heal me! And he sort of did, through words.
He reminded me of the time Jesus commanded us to give to others. He said that the most precious blessing is made available to mankind if they can find someone to give to, so you are allowing others to get the greatest imaginable blessing in needing help, so, always accept it and remember what an honor it is to need.

Camelot Conclusion
Watching Merlin this morning's episode the crowned prince was preparing people for battle, and he taught fighting skills, sure, but I noticed another parallel between Authur and all other great English kings idolized in movies, part of their training or natural ability is to be a leader, I noticed that right before battle they give a great speech and it is that mental preparation that truly makes an army strong. I was predisposed to this idea through my admiration of Moroni in the Book of Mormon. His story provides standards and ideals much as Homer does with his "Odessey". Moroni rallies his folk mentally, by reminding them that they are not contending out of anger, but love of their homes and families. So, my conclusion is that Camelot is a story told to prepare English people to embrace a morality as ideal, and still today those are the same principles that we all believe in today and that Hollywood uses to spread them.

letter
My dearest,
Do not lament beauty lost, it served it's purpose. A tree pits so much effort into making apples and rippening them, so they can die well. Your physical appearance had it's limelight. You don't appreciate a thing you always had. This season is to use another attribute to focus on, like a seed, you grew and developed a beauty enough to catch the right sort of attention and just because you don't know about it, so what. Now, you must keep it, not your youth, but the attention worth having. There are other attributes that you will seriously regret if you neglect.
I love you.

Intelligent life
I thought so many other brilliant and sure thoughts about evolution had crowded out my question or at least disregard it as immature and silly anyway. But, as I was watch a movie with my kids my thoughts were situationally piqued. First, I thought of how important a little comment of keeping our passions in check. They were intended, but can run amuck. A fairy was struggling with listening to her heart. The queen fairy said following your heart is a good thing, but keep it in bounds your mind sets.
Anyhow, I am doing it again avoiding the question that I was glad to forget. It is regarding evolution. I always wonder is the long long time required just a shield to protect what is hidden underneath.
If evolution of mankind comes from a thing and does not just happen from the direction of a God then why does man not evolve into something else, or why are predessors not evolving into humans anymore? There, I said it. Now, time to make dinner.
