Valentine Day Message LDS Style

"I'm trying to remind you that tomorrow is Valentine's Day," said Sister Parkin, who was called to the Relief Society general presidency in April 2002. "On this day before Valentine's, I've been wondering: How's your heart?" Sister Parkin encouraged students to find charity in their hearts and look beyond formal church or civic assignments to find opportunities to serve. She pointed to Elder Neal A. Maxwell, an apostle in the Quorum of the Twelve in the LDS church, as an example.

Oh, and JB? Serving in a romantic way? How about a back/shoulders/neck massage? That would be awesome!

"Singles Awareness Day" sounds like a focus on what you don't have rather than what you do. Are there activities carded for LDS Singles on Valentine's Day?

I would not really count a massage as part of service... That falls under romance for me although my wife might see it as real service - forced labor.

Rather off topic, but...
