What I learned on Sunday

I probably wasn't quick enough on this, now alot of my scribbles are illegible to even me. I need a Urim and thumin (sp?) myself. but, here goes:

1)Wars seem to stir something in the soul. Think of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, the Wheel of Time wisdom and even all of the killings and war in the Book of Mormon, which we were wisely told not to skip over. I think naturally great things come from terrible things. Like the movie "Braveheart".

2) I asked my children if they wanted extra blessings in their lives.
I told them that I ought to read my scriptures every day if they did, but if they asked me, I wouldn't. I noted that it was a way to make my personal scripture time less selfish. Though, actually it is selfish, I would still read if they told me not to.

3) It has always been common for people to hide expectations for the future events because they DIDN'T happen yet, but people are still required to believe it. Their lives may even depend on it. I wonder why living is so critical. by definition that's what critical is, huh? How about dire.

4)Light is cool? Or Light is God. Well, same thing. Why not take light out of it and just say God is cool?

5)I can't read this well, but I vaguely remember. It says sobirty prophecy can be understood by those who are similarly minded. And what it means to me is that is why we are all wanting a zion and would sacrifice so much to be understood and we know it will only happen when we are with those of like hearts and minds. It also makes me think about art and how it says different things to different people or even the same person at different times. the whole thought was started simply by asking about why the lord used parables to talk, Those who have ears... I have always loved Isaiah for different reasons, though.

6)I cannot properly understand this so I'll just copy it. "Fortune of having great moments of learning even it clouds negative a lot like Hannah See good in bad."

7) Joseph Smith didn't just have a simple question. His question was not one just hap hazzardly thought one day. It had been weighing on his mind for a considerable amount of time.

8)Keep in mind that your best days are your worst days.

9) memorizing songs and scriptures is a great way to give your mind fodder to help push out or kill thoughts intended to ruin the singularity of your purpose.

10) Thinking of the song "100 years" Where he explains that our perspectives change with our wants and needs.

11) "we have Celestial experiences but don't have Celestial words to describe it." And older gentleman said this and I thought it profound.

Scrpitures that I jotted down: Please look up 2 Nephi 12, and D&C 50:20 there is a light bulb doodled next to it.
