  1. Ether 3: 14 Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters. 15 And never have I showed myself unto man whom I have created, for never has man believed in me as thou hast. Seest thou that ye are created after mine own image? Yea, even all men were created in the beginning after mine own image.
  2. John 14 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

  4. Me and all my colleagues request that this nonsense stop. Past the age of 60 you are better off taking up this sporty ride.
  5. This is what the government shows me for my options. Im hoping the the 2nd coming occurs prior to Social Security failure.
  6. Word change The song (I am a child of God) was first performed at a stake Primary conference in 1957. Several years later, apostle Spencer W. Kimball asked the Primary general board if the phrase "Teach me all that I must know / To live with him someday" could be changed to "Teach me all that I must do / To live with him someday". As Kimball later explained, "To know isn't enough. The devils know and tremble; the devils know everything. We have to do something." The Primary general board accepted the change.
  7. Nephi’s nephew here gains a testimony, is forgiven of his sins, and learns of Jesus Christ. I think his question, “How is it done?” is genius. Here is my question: Don’t you think that Enos’s father Jacob had given him all this information in detail previously? There comes a moment in our lives when we must leave the nest, fly on our own and feed ourselves.
  8. I’ve noticed that many blogs have become less active. Social media and technology will continue to evolve. Texting is so yesterday. Have you tried holographic group rooms or AI surrogates, how about the OASIS?
  9. We have been talking about the signs of the times. And I still recall President Nelson's admonition to take your vitamins, etc. We now have a picture of Joseph Smith. The original artifacts are returning to the church and I foresee more coming. I still have a deep hope that the 116 pages will suddenly show up in someone's basement. It is likely that parts of it were destroyed or altered but if any of the original docs remain they would be cherrished.
  10. https://history.churchofjesuschrist.org/content/historic-sites/missouri/questions-and-answers-about-the-temple-lot-in-independence-missouri?lang=eng I bet we purchase some property in Independence Missouri next. Likely within 5 years. And there we will build a Temple to the Lord.
  11. Bet we will be using the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible quite a bit more in our classes. 192.5 M well spent.

  13. Price of gold has gone up $100 or almost 5% over the past week. Wonder what is causing this to happen?
  14. Alma 10:3 And Aminadi was a descendant of Nephi, who was the son of Lehi, who came out of the land of Jerusalem, who was a descendant of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by the hands of his brethren. “The Prophet Joseph informed us that the record of Lehi, was contained on the 116 pages that were first translated and subsequently stolen, and of which an abridgment is given us in the first book of Nephi, which is the record of Nephi individually, he himself being of the lineage of Manasseh; but that Ishmael was of the lineage of Ephraim, and that his sons married into Lehi's family, and Lehi's sons married Ishmael's daughters... “ (Erastus Snow, JD 23:184)
  15. There are differing views though. https://bookofmormonevidence.org/the-cave-at-cumorah/
  16. Certainly. https://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/blog/2008/02/12/the-two-cumorah-theory
  17. Picture from last year’s Western Australia eclipse. Make sure you take a good pair of binoculars. Don’t even try to setup a telescope. Also, the planets and constellations become visible. But not the one’s you can see in the night sky. Picture from August 1, 2008 - China.
  18. The 2017 eclipse went thru Adam-ondi-ahman. But the 2024 one does not. And being close to totality ain’t like horseshoes & hand grenades. If you are not in totality you totally miss the celestial event.
