Brain dump

Amazed at how intelligent the words used by a young child are, I wonder if she knows what she is saying. She wrote it herself.

RM, in the handbook, says to leave them ample time to speak, so they gladly oblige.

Apostasy rejection of what was known. We turn from the Lord.

We need to fear personal apostasy, homes and schools have become no longer safe havens. Satan works by small degrees to drag us carefully down.

Now you do not need to go looking for smut. It is everywhere even our homes.

Tolerance once indulged becomes a vice if we allow it.

Eternal truths talk in conference and repeated in priesthood session by Kimball.

Though it seems not long ago when we lived the lives our CHILDREN do now, but it is entirely different.

Things that were taught as fact ended up not really true. What TRUTHS are prevelany in the world today. The youth are strong and not easy to patent because of that.

All the truths that we need to be happy are found in the gospel.,

Song was so creative, Joseph Smith's First Prayer to Come to Zion song

Story of Rose who wanted a Book of Mormon, but had wanted to not drink alcholhol, but it was needed or she would die, she didn't think that she could, but when Missionaries taught her about WOW she had no desire anymore even.

A lot of people are having personal apostasy and are waiting for an experience like Paul on the road to Damascus.

Golly, it sounds like one heck of a road.

Testimony of Joseph is essential.

Atonement is for sinners we all know that, but it is for the saints, too.

Bad men good and good men better.

Had inspiration to push someone. But she explained that she was not ready and didn't KNOW, but they told her that she was ready. Interesting.

Sometimes we do not find our answers right away, but they are all in the Book of Mormon.

A man who didn't think he was ready. Then they read Alma and how all else but denying the power of God is forgiveable.

Even the book itself asks you to check the veracity.

Individuals are waiting to be sort of forced off of the fence.

What is the big difference between covenants and promises. When God is involved, that makes it a covenant.

It was a chance to be a kid, but Brother Joseph was a convert, had to be sure of the agreement that he was doing was right.

We see that we need to be sure before we make promises.

Endowment is a Gift from God. Probably why it is so sacred, it is very serious. Something not freely given to everyone.

You have to be crazy to try to define what an endowment is. A prophet said this.

Baptism is begining Endowment is continuing,

almost everything in the Endowment is found in the scriptures, so not hidden, it is knowable, book of Moses

Chemistry, you grow and he likened to chemistry where you cannot go back one you change into a new configuration, more electrons changes what the element is, *must obey laws set forth to not go back, because actually you can*

Let Zion in her beauty rise. Music bears testimony better than words can.

Sealing is not so much for here as it will be eternal.

Baptism being born again you can pretend to go back, but you can not go back to where you came from or back to your sins.

Love is stronger than death. Are you sealed, but someone breaks the covenant.

Sealer is a calling that you can take with you.

Sealing is the only covenant that involves the agency of another person.

I like to think of it as the other covenants are preparatory ones to prove that you are able to make promises and keep them, it limits the pool that you have to choose from drastically.

You have to be worthy of other promises as a requirement to enter into another covenant with a person.

Covenant keeper is desirable to be able to deserve as a title.

I don't know that I could do what the saints did, but they might not be able to do what we do either. Our trials are suited for us.

A sunset could be either positive or negative. We might see it as an end or a promise of a new say.

People sometimes turn away because we see a trial as something other than it is. A lot of us ask, "Why me?"

The gospel equips us to handle and turn a trial into a blessing.

Trials are necessary to know what we can do. Who doesn't want to know what we are capable of?

We have blessings and terrible bad things but we live here.

Story that a girl had a vision of celebrating because she got to be a paraplegic.

Prophets were upset that they didn't get to suffer as much as other prophets.

Just wait a few minutes, you will be given a trial, you need them to prepare yourselves for the future.

We can handle no matter what. Everyone else has trials suited for them.

A woman who has health troubles sees that God blessed her with that body and she was given a blessing that she would know that God was always with you.

Under circumstances why not on top of it.

We are the angels or instruments to help others.

Somethings are so big though far away with time, their impact was so great it will still effect you.

Wisdom upon wisdom, comes from learning things line upon line.

Our trials come in the same way, always meted out exactly as we are prepared.

You prepare for lots of help or ways to help, but not to help someone handle death.

Blessing that a woman was prepared...

Interesting how everyone got blessings from God. Through ward, priesthood or somehow. We know that we are not ever alone.

Being prepared struck a nerve, so much in our past was done to prepare us, a lot like the song "God bless the Broken Road".

Your other senses tell you things so that you learn not to depend on what you loose.

There is no place in heaven for those who haven't made a mistakes.

D&C 121:6-7

Ok, I can do this.

Frequent flyers at a hospital, they must live close to the spirit. "Temporary Home". Spirit was very strong in those children, it was something you could actually feel.
