"Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness"

Finding clean comedy can be difficult. So, I'm here to help.

Finding good, clean comedy is honestly very difficult. Comedians that don't make disgusting jokes and use vulgar language are pretty rare. Here are my top choices for whenever you need a laugh, whether you are with your kids or your parents, without blushing at the content:

Chonda Pierce: A lot of mothers love Chonda Pierce because she is so relatable. She makes light of real life situations for every age. She also has a great testimony. I love her jokes about her kids, her career, and her late husband.

Tim Hawkins: If you have never heard of Tim Hawkins, you need to go to YouTube now. Seriously. I'll wait.... OK, now you see what I mean. He is stinking hysterical. He is a fellow homeschooler, so I automatically love him just for that. Then, he has a slight obsession with Chick-Fil-A, which I can appreciate. Honestly, Chonda Pierce reminds me of my mom, and Tim Hawkins reminds me of my dad. That's probably another reason I enjoy them so much. :)

Studio C: Studio C is basically the clean version of Saturday Night Live. This group of 10 comedians met during their college years at BYU in Utah. They started out as Divine Comedy, which is also extremely funny, but contains other actors besides the cast of Studio C. All the cast members are Mormon, so all their comedy is clean.

There are some things you need to know before you watch Studio C:

1. Whitney Call and Stephen Meek are married.

2. "Mattory" is the ship name for cast members Mallory Everton and Matt Meese. Don't try and fight it; you will want it too. Just accept the fact that you will jump on the Mattory train too.

3. Like I said, they are Mormon. They generally avoid the subject of religion, but when they do bring it in, they do not overly push their beliefs.

You're probably wondering why I'm so passionate about clean comedy. Well, I'm a firm believer in Garbage In, Garbage Out. In Galatians 6:7, Paul says that a man reaps what he sows. I believe that if I fill my mind with disgusting things, like what I might hear in mainstream comedy acts, my mind will start thinking about things like that more and more. However, if I watch things that are clean, I will be more likely to think about things that are clean. So, I will forever laugh when Chonda Pierce makes a joke about her husband's snoring, Tim Hawkins sings about his Pretty Pink Tractor, or when I watch Studio C's "Aw Yeah" sketch.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect
-Romans 12:1-2

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
