Brain dump

So many lessons can be learned through team sports, like winning and loosing and how it effects you but, most poignant is the role of a coach likened to God.

We need time outs and warm ups.

No matter if we were born into it is hard to develop the ability to provide, but we need it because,we need agency and the power to act, if we are able to provide for ourselves it allows us a freedom.

Taking responsibilty is necessary for agency.

Spiritual debt is often online with temporal debts and when we put the Lord first as we promise to in the temple then we witness miracles and are able to see how sacrificing personal wants helps us reach new goals.

Youth are studying necessity to develop temporal and spiritual self reliance.

When you serve mission in third world country you see that temporal self reliance, though very evident and important it is not founded in wealth, but more in gaining spiritual self reliance.

If we keep our covenants we can have the confidence in our choice of the better part and we can even expect that the very Heaven's will be shaken for our good.

We gain our freedom gradually through repentance

Signs of the second coming.-

1) Apostasy - end of the prophets
2) Restoration
3) Book of Mormon  is wrote.Fufilled as it was two sticks in thy hand.
4) Gospel preached
5) Coming of Elijah - Genealogy a priesthood being given.

People do not love oneanother. *I* phone.

People will decieve you, but do not be troubled, he will return and unite everyone.

Promises will be fufilled.

Things that happen as a result of that spirit causes conversation that inturn lead to preacing of the Gospel.

The acceptance of the two scriptures will bring peace. World peace, isn't that a sign of the second coming.

what would it have meant to preach to the whole world? And it was much bigger than they realized it was so much bigger., could it perhaps be that way now.

Layton has 13 stakes!!!

Pakistan it seems impossible that missionaries will teach there, the Gospel will be taught in his own tongue.

Fear of the Lord is more being reverent than being afraid, my good friend asked me why we should fear God, when we are always told to love him.

The signs are there.

You might feel stuck, but it will happen.

Prophets tell us to be prepared, temporally and spiritually. We need to be ready for the Lord's return.

December 9 7pm. RS Meeting

Which way do you face?
70 doesn't represent the people to the prophet, but the prophet to the people.

We represent the church to the people but find ourselves instead remind the church of the people and their common opinions (because they are easier).

Face tents to the temple, like in BoM. That was the first comment made. That they, when asked, would answer that they face the Lord.

Joseph Smith would have liked to have someone to help testify against all peers when he went against what he was told no when asked to show plates to Martin.

Reminds me of the thing Natalie said about Moribund standing alone...

The way people dress is outwardway we appear to be making a definately choice.

Not allowed a nativity scene because it offends others like X mas

Minority - we do not really even know what the minority is.

Religion has been persecuted by Satan. It makes him mad to see the good go forward.

In the scriptures those who face the right way are bold and declare love.

The guilty want companions. Instead of self Improvement.

Dumbing Down the gospel is evident in the retranslations of the Bible.

Other churches accept things that the people want instead of what is. Lowering standards cannot be allowed.

The world wants to change what a family is by many means like gay marriage and women with priesthood, we must be watchful and conciously aware of which way we face.

Jesus was aware of which way he faced, he was indistinguishable from his father.

Put scripture of choosing the Lord and a story of a woman who was lost and sought direction there because it was posted, she felt safe there.

Go to the temple to offend the temple, put it to use.

Screwtape, Satan is delighted when we chose and easier path rather than the right one. He will give us the things we naturally want.

No man can serve two masters if you are torn then make a choice and go with it.

Dark and lonliness.

So we know what is right by the result, if it is desirable?

The difference is that we get the desired result of happiness and love AFTER we work, it is a reward we do not seek out desert for nourishment.
