This Sunday I have to give a talk on Agency in the Plan of Salvation. Agency, here, means the capacity to act, to make choices. It's kind of a cornerstone of LDS theology, and even an essential part of our creation mythology (I'll explain that in a sec), that we are able to act for ourselves, that we act with responsibility and accountability, that we choose between good and evil.

So I've been having some scattered thoughts. ( Lois McMaster Bujold / Memory, LDS mythology, giving small children choices, the ubiquity (or not) of choices )
