Brain dump

What is Integrity.

Number is  source is LDS.ORG .

Doing what is right, no matter who knows or what the consequence is.

Asked others what it is to them...

Integrity is behavoir that is morally right regardless of what is currently popular.

Do what we profess... simply put, it is being honest, so you act as you know and profess.

People will be tempted to act in a way contrary to what we believe. Do What is right, regardless of the consequence.

Having integrity allows freedom, because you have nothing to hide...it is perfect confidence in ourselves.

Russian nesting dolls represent finding our inner child.

When looking closely at the dolls. She was choosing which represented each and as she chose the primary dolls she noticed that there were more nested inside! This reminded me of Carl Sagan saying in a film how things go on forever and ever in any direction or how my Astronomy professor told us that if the universe was finite no matter where we looked we would see a star.

It is interesting that YW uses music to teach so much, and most things I remember, truly REMEMBER are lyrics. It is no coincidence that we teach important things to children with a song.

People are warned about scams when investing such a large ammount, it is a debt entered as an investment for their future life, but people are still beguiled by scammers and end up in a terrible debt and little promise for their future.

When cannot have children, just need to exercise faith, cause supposedly if you truly believe nothing is impossible.

When you have faith one cannot simmultaneously have fear.

Brain dump

I had to organize what I wanted to say and I hope I can present it well.

Story of woman who had polio. And was debilitated in the body, so the spirit needed to take charge.

Discussed choice of maladies, including same sex attraction.

There really is no distinction between temporal or physical and spiritual. It is only called such to aid in our understanding.

Begin by thanking others for honest words.

Significant passage from BoM changed how our stake president appreciates scriptures....from Lehi's dream how Lehi desired his children to come to the tree. Scriptures are the word of God, it is paramount we read and study them to avoid temptations.

We are lost in darkness by the world, but we have power and spirit attend you at home and in callings by reading the Book of Mormon.

Word of God has more power than anything else in our lives, more powerful than swords or monsters or any other thing we see as powerful.

Joseph reflected upon a scripture which means that he was not instantly given revelation and answer, the same will be true for us.

Joy can be felt even if our circumstances are contrary.
