Brain dump 3

Missionary who woke up deaf, he prayed for faith he was given a choice for surgery which might lead to loss of ballance.

It is common for kids to.do their own thing even when it is contrary to their parents.

Man that was sooo strong.

Lucifer, if he knew true love, he didn't value it.

When making a choice will it make us more free?

Because agency is ultimately more important.

Story in allowing bad things to happen for the sake of preserving agency.

We can feel the sorrow that God must feel when we must let people choose.

It is an opportunity to make a choice.

A man gave a talk at his wife's funeral and he read from the scriptures instead of speaking because he wanted to offer comfort.

What are you going to do next time? If we are going to choose different.

We make choices, we get to choose who to be with, they don't make our choices.

Time to choose will come and when we know...this lady chose the right, but felt alone figured out that choosing not to be evil.

When you choose wrong you limit your ability to choose.

As a primary child she could not discern between handsome or just the love of the Savior in his eyes.

Baptism opens a door that cannot be shut, rather the words were that no man can shut.

I am not very old, and I don't remember much, but we feel things.

Just like a reverence for sacred feelings. She talks about being in Wales where they dug out a pond for baptism.

Page 48 last paragraph, could receive blessing but it was too simple. Had the mind of God,made known unto him. When we exercise suffient faith, then those blessing will follow.

Sacrament is a choice we have the opportunity to be sort of rebaptized but we don't because it seems too simple.

When I am here I am overwhelmed with the idea that I need to be here, because it would be so easy for me to justify taking what I gained and leaving.

My question is why is it that we do the work, simple or not. Why do we assume things must be equal to the blessing?

The principle of the equal given, is baptism. "Where much is given, much is required." We have to be baptized to be able to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, but even then, it may not stay with us. Book that I read, "Search to Know our Lord" it was explained that just because we get that gift doesn't mean that we have become sufficiently "reborn". I want to write a book so that I can tell others the words that make up an idea worth having.
