I agree. A great sound system dramatically improves a good movie. We have a sonos Arc setup, and any Atmos soundtrack is an experience. My bedroom is better than a movie theater. Great movies for the bass experience: Dune Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse All Quiet on the Western Front

Good question. I don’t know. Only thing I can think of is: D&C 107: 3 Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. 4 But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood. Also this, but probably not what you were looking for…

Imagine calling you kids in college and having them tell you the same exact message every time. Hard pass. When we pray in public, it should be pertinent to the place and circumstance. I don’t what to hear a story or any sense of virtue signaling of your or anyones righteousness of library of knowledge. I appreciate a sincere prayer. Children are great examples. In your personal prayers, go for it. You do you.

You may find the following of interest: Please read 3 Ne 11 & 19 3 Ne 19: 16 And it came to pass that he spake unto the multitude, and commanded them that they should kneel down again upon the earth, and also that his disciples should kneel down upon the earth. 17 And it came to pass that when they had all knelt down upon the earth, he commanded his disciples that they should pray. 18 And behold, they began to pray; and they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their God. Remember They are One. When you pray to Heavenly Father, Jesus also hears. In my opinion, it is important to know as much as possible about the identity of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. How are they different and how they are the same. I pray to Heavenly Father. When I take the Sacrament, I think about Jesus Christ.

I get aggravated in how we (mostly politicians) use the word science. The following are a few of my favorite quotes about science: “We don’t know. We got nothing folks. Well, we got something. It’s tough... It’s tough.” - Paul M. Sutter atrophysicist commenting about the theory of early Universe inflation and why it stopped. “Science doesn’t tell us why. It tells us why we were wrong.” - Stuart Firestein (Neuroscientist) “Science isn’t about being right.” - Grant Tremblay Astrophysicist After reportedly reviewing a paper with ideas that were so flawed or nonsensical and barely met the basic criteria of scientific discourse he commented, ‘This isn’t right, It’s not even wrong…’ - Wolfgang Pauli Theoretical Physicist Science tests a null hypothesis. We make shaky theories and then use these theories to make predictions. We shouldn’t. When I hear a politician say we are following the science, I cringe.

lol, how prophetic. Reminds me of https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/simpsons-future-predictions-accurate-1140775/

Oliver Cowdery never made it to Utah. He was rebaptized in 1848 in Iowa. He intended to travel to Utah but died in Missouri in 1850.

So close. I was in a meeting. I pulled up the score and saw that the Gators were up by 1 with about 2 minutes to go and was impressed with the comeback. Then I saw the final score. 😟 That's why we play the games. I hope BYU can win at least one game in the NCAA tournament. 🤞

@LDSGator I’m watching the Florida -Georgia game. 16-39 ATM what is going on?

Your gators are doing great. I’m looking forward to an exciting tournament.

Huge win!! Arizona was ranked #19 Just upset 2 top 25 teams in a row. 4W streak. “Keep stacking days.”

BYU 91, Kansas 57 Ouch

6 games left before the big dance. If we take 4 of 6 we are in. Or if we beat Kansas tonight. I’ll be watching.

So how does everyone feel about clapping during sacrament meeting? I’m for it.

Sure Potash (K2CO3) is relatively easy to produce. Process: 1. Collect Hardwood Ash: Gather ash from burned hardwoods. Avoid softwoods like pine, as they contain lower potassium levels. 2. Leach the Ash: Place the ash in a large container and add boiling water. Let it soak for 24 hours. 3. Filter the Solution: Pour the liquid through a fine cloth or filter to remove solid ash particles. The remaining liquid is “lye water” containing dissolved potassium carbonate. 4. Evaporate the Water: Boil the lye water until the liquid evaporates, leaving behind dry potash crystals. 5. Purify (Optional): You can refine the potash by dissolving it in a smaller amount of water, filtering again, and re-evaporate. Pure silica melts at 3092 F Adding potash can reduce the melting temperature to around 1832-2192°F, depending on the ratio used. Melting point of iron is 2,800 F

May I suggest having children? So much glossolalia going on there. Toddlers are my favorite. The insights are refreshing.

Its a pretty dang good app. I doubt any other religion has anything close to this level of performance. And its free! Its difficut for me to complain about free products. i did ask that they allow searching specifically for content from Jesus Christ. Curiously you can search for material specific to each of the modern day GAs but not Jesus Christ. But I’m not a programmer. Curiously I have found that AI is a dang good way to search for LDS content. AI is pretty freakin good. And still free!

Probably from this.

It’s a slippery slope. Just look at my state. The lovely Patrick’s Point State Park is now named Sue-meg State Park. A light house in Trinidad CA had to be moved because it was placed on sacred ground. I can’t count how many casinos have been built on sacred ground… I own the land my house is built upon and you cannot convince me that I should give it back. Washington Commanders… Removing statues of confederate heroes. We have gone overboard. It’s OK to be proud of America. Warts and all. I’m not about to leave the LDS church because some mistakes were made in the past.

The Liahona was more than just a compass. From 1 Ne 16:27-29 we learn that it also had the capacity to display printed text. “it was written and changed from time to time, according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it. And thus we see that by small means the Lord can bring about great things.” I have no idea if it was like a computer screen, magic 8 ball, or if the brass surface could be repeatedly inscribed. Curious workmanship indeed.
