Thinking of a new name

I always cringe whenn I type dump, plus. Brain dumps were actual key words for cheats for Microsoft tests and that was the same idea I had to get rid of all the extra notes I had on my phone. I was getting warning beeps about running out of storage space, so to utilize "the cloud" or internet, I was copying long notes from meetings, but I refused to throw them away.

I think maybe I will call them a more identifying name like Notes or something.

Brain dump

Maybe this needs a new name...

The Holy Ghost will tell us who we ought to help and how if we seek him.

The most beautiful word of this and all words spoken and taught from the pulpit is the word of change and so we ought to listen especially when it is used in teaching how we can change things we are not happy with.

Things were familiar when the missionaries taught them, many are examples of how people instantly accept other things that missionaries taught.

There is a creation that used science.

There are feelings that come from the HolyGhost that cannot be denied.

The connection with the Holy Ghost it feels so powerful because of how it communicates. It does so in a way our minds cannot even communicate reasonably...it is more than our mortal bodies can handle.

Nature is completely obedient, and so we feel a closeness to our father in Heaven.

Omniscient God, he can never say that a thing never occurred to him. Our own children claim that we just do not understand and that is why we are acting in a way they do not like.

1) must know that God exists.
2)                       His attributes.
3)                       that we are on the right path.

Maybe for FHE we ought to ask each member to tell of what God had done for them or our family.

Difference between knowing someone vs. Someone you know about.

We listed things that we know pretty well.
When we are close to someone, we can get mad at them but still be friend.

We know biographies. Or do we?

notice difference between what has been chosen to be told vs. What is.

There are times we feel close to the Lord, but if we do not put forth the effort to maintain that the relationship will change.

Our relationship is different with our Father. He wants to hear everything from us. And how He communicates back to us is different. But regardless we need to work for it.

***********  YOU NEED TO ASK.

You need to allow your person to be known.

Things happen in our life that put us on a certain path.

-Follow.    is an interesting word in the context of social media.

-Serve.   those around us. There are lots of ways to serve. We could sit in meetings. Or we could look for opportunities to serve those around us.

We are serving in our families and end up failing to serve in other ways.

It is a divine birthright as women. Men do not have that natural tendency.

I am so impressed with how we turn a short talk into a full lesson that must be curtailed to fit the ammount of allotted time.

Brain dump

Missionary served a month ago in
Germany.

Spoke on the Godhead

.on mission. Mostly why it was the best time is because one can know more certainly that the Godhead loves his children so much.

One of the best stories was in teaching an investigator about who the Godhead is and that they actually wanted the investigator to learn of Him.
.
One in purpose

Because of greater faith and testimony I can trust the words of the prophet and no longer need the scriptures to back them up.

Most of what I value that know cannot be taught, but can be learned.

We can achieve the same fate as Jesus Christ, to be like our Heavenly Father.

We will be assigned a place, as you are, I once was, as I am you may .

"Mercy isn't mercy if you deserve it. Grace isn't grace if you earned it."

Everyone will have the opportunity to live with God.

No thing ever hope can not be realized without the help of God.

When people look at a photo of a,black dot, they focus on the dark spot, missing the notice of all the white on the empty sheet of paper, this was likened to early pioneers in Utah, and how they felt about this being the place.

We do not turn into who we think we will be.

There are things that you simply cannot do as you age. Church callings force you into doing things you would never do otherwise.

Speak on forgiveness, start by forgiving the one who asked you to speak, ahe said, "oh, he doesn't know me, I will forgive...After I get revenge.

Nothing you do will brig her back, but you will ruin so much if you do not forhlgive.

LEAVE IT ALONE,  it can ruin your life, besides we may not understand it until later in life.

Forgive and forget.

Sometimes it helps to come up with a story for why someone did what offends. Even in war the bad guys act for a good reason.

When we forgive, do not look back, that is what Lot's wife did.

If you can recall things you forgave, you probably never forgave them.

When you easily forgive others, you are easily forgiven,  story about someone who was forgiven a large debt.

We need to realize that it is between the Lord and  the sinner.

People cannot move on in our lives unless we learn to forgive?

Forgiveness is likened to an escalator that  has stopped it is up to us to go to our destination but we just call out for help freeling immobilized

If any thing is prophicied do not believe anyone unless they are the one authorized.

Great and powerful depends on what side you are on.

Times are getting close, we have been warned for a long time.

Samuel knew of the Lord's comming within 5 years...My Brother's PB.

D&C 29 places of refuge.

During the milenium we will need more temples because there are goingbto be more people.

There will be as much missionary work as ordinance work.

It is important to understand the importance of the first resdurrection. There will be non Celestial folk in first just not the morning.

What troubles me most is that after the millenn Satan can  still win over people after they confess the Lord as a savior.

Manna corn.
