Oil is symbolic that God is with you, pretty important for a king. Even queen Elizabeth was anointed.

When we get a new leader, chosen by God, we still must sustain the leader publicly.

The battle is the Lord's. 

All have weaknesses, but the Lord delivered...in pride cycle the Lord is forgotten.

What sticks out to me is how the Lord says that David was a man of his own heart.

Consider it is better to obey than to sacrifice... one can do the right thing, but it can still be incorrect.

Reminds me of how the Savior said, "don't you understand what was written?" The Savior did not want to be slain  or suffer, but he did it.

Maybe things are simple when you understand, and if they are of the Lord's heart.

First thing I think of regarding David and Goliath story is that Saul let him go, when all the Israelite were at stake.

brain dump

Scriptures are like Chainmaile and as we go to war we have the whole armor of God, the armor breaks off and repairs are needed, much like repentance is needed, and so to repair our chinks, etc. We need scripture study.

Story of mountain biking and she needed to walk because the place was too difficult. Then as she told her husband to go ahead. He said, "Everyone walks at that spot," especially the first time.. ...there is no shame in this. She listens to her husband who has more experience, her husband also walked with her...we all need to keep trying it will get better and easier.

Maybe if we give a talk tell a story so that we have a framework for all lessons. Like I learned in megamind lessons in Georgia in 10th grade (Ms. TATUMS CLASS)

The second miracle of the ark crossing the Jordan River.

Extreme faith does not come naturally, story from Nephi how he needed to understand better and it takes that amount of faith to pray and expect a response.

A boy decided not to go on his mission immediately, but as he got his Pat. Blessing he was counseled to go immediately, additionally, the prophet asked all young men to prepare to serve a mission. College would go after.

Pray for others by name, it is important.

There are two kinds of people. The ones we love, and the ones we do not know.

Try to imagine the person in the arms of the Savior.

Story of person who was prompted to ask someone for help, and the helper was the one who really felt so blessed because they needed to help.

We offer our whole souls by and through helping others.

We WILL have opportunities to feed sheep, that was the way that the Savior asked of Peter to show/demonstrate his love.

John 15 study a message from the Savior through our stake president.

Pay attention to word "Know"

Gospel is home-centeted.

Primary, and youth are the rising generation, this is duty of the youth.

Parenting in unprecedented time.

Why didn't the next generation believe th things the stripling wariors..

Intentional parenting is necessary. What is it? Think about it.

(Found on Google)

Intentional parenting is an approach where you use strategies to build a healthy parent-child relationship. It is an approach to developing safe, stable, and nurturing parent-child relationships. The intentional parenting approach relies on brain science to provide you ways to stay present and involved with your child

Footnote to thing that Savior said on the word a. It leads to a Joseph Smith Translation of that passage.

We ought to not rely on what others say, instead of praying to "Know" a thing is true or not.

We are often much closer to what we aimed for than what we think we are.

We aim for Celestial life.

When speaking with others with the spirit we can have the same power we feel in the temple.

Elders exercise the power to have the countable of Jesus Christ and it will be recognized.

Power of Love and Goodness, perhaps others would recognize such a spirit in me, if I strive to achieve such! We can gain that power from doing ordinances in the temple.

We ALL need help.

Help others.

It becomes natural to care fir others as we try to draw closer to our savior.by: 1)magnifying our callings. When we are kind and loving we will be remnered - story of the greeter Brother Orten.

If we give the Lord our time the Lord will multiply it, promised by the prophet.

2)pray for others. Pray vocally for our children. It is important. Pray instantly for someone if they come into our mind, the very moment.

3)recognize the help (contributions)of others.

4) listening and being sincere.

5)volunteering.

Sometimes it will seem too difficult. But, we can get power and assistance from God (BD Grace)

One person cannot gather Israel alone, so we need eachother.

As I consider things here, I wonder if that "point in our heart" is not only a godliness, but what shines in our countenance. Another thought was that we are constantly trying to be like Jesus, but Jesus said that he was his father and they were one.
