First brain dump of 2016

Blessings of preisthood solidifies the fact that this chapel is an ordinance room. The prescence of the Godhead can abundantly felt.

Prayer is surely really a way to speak to God, He can actually hear and feel our needs.

Scriptures are literally food for us. We need to feast and hunger for those truths.

New begining is possible because of the love of God and a savior, whom through we can be forgiven.

Our Family is our ward, it helps us live more perfectly.

To know principles we need to testify and teach them before we fully believe them.

The Godhead is called a presidency. A thing we all sort of know somehow, although, technically, I have never heard it before.

Become yoked to Christ. It is cemented through temple worship.

Temple square felt better than Salt Lake City, even if cold, felt a warmth from attending the temple.

Maybe did not get things right so I got called back regarding calling. I will always accept it, even if I joke about it.

When someone hits or offends, they must hug and apologize.

Story of Joshua Bell's performance, would people appreciate so n ething valuable if it is not marketed as such.

Lesson on Exultation,

Requires being seperated from him and see if we would still obey if left to ourself. Like we do with our children.  Reminds me that time Nick got so furious and asked me why I would leave a child to take care of themselves.

Exultation is becoming as God.

What does the word condescension mean?

I do not live according to everything I believe, but I know many things are true.

The human body is most amazing gift from God. The body is diverse, but still looks like us, like our Heavenly Father.
Our bodies should never be taken for granted, use it properly.

Hand out that clearly defined difference between immortality and eternal life.

I found not mentioned exultation in any scripture than Book of Mormon.

An earthly father would not place a limit on us he actually desires we grow up like him.

To be exalted we must
1)be baptized
2)receive the holy ghost
3) recieve preisthood
4) temple endowment
5) sealed

Spirit of Elijah is so strong that if you start doing genealogy you cannot stop it.

We can loose hope if we look at and compare the position of others when on the path. It really does not matter. Growth is often unperceptible.

20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

Shared excerpts from church news on this scripture. It was suggested to look into the concept of it.

Press forward- harkens back to things the pioneers endured. It entails that force is used to act upon something to follow through a course of action.

We have to just dig in our heels and do things though there are more things that need to be done than there is time to do them.

The Holy Ghost will tell and show us what needs to be done.

The tender mercies come through people placed in our lives. They are not a coincidence but are evidence of God's love for YOU.

It is nice to recall the feelings we had when we read a thing.

If we really truly believe that the scriptures come from God we will want to know what he is saying, and further if we believe that he knows us, won't our choice to be searching show some sincerity and he will help us understand his ideas.

"men's hearts will fail them...
