    The dividing rod is a metaphor for revealing Gods principles to men and by their personal choices some choose to believe, follow the revelation, while others choose a different way of life.

    Referring to Moses time and the act of throwing down his rod in Pharaoh's court was one of Gods way’s to show that his powers were greater than the magician’s.

     

    I think you meant divining rod. :)   Welcome to the forums. We're happy to have to here.

  12. Looking for a quote source

    I'm trying to find the talk where President Hinckley made this statement:  “To know when these events will occur would take from us much of the self-discipline needed to daily obey the principles of the gospel.”

    I've searched and searched. But perhaps one of you would have more luck at finding it than me.

    I found a General Conference talk by Jeffrey R. Holland titled "Broken Things to Mend" from April 2006, where he touches on themes that sound similar to what you're describing. While it doesn't have the exact wording you mentioned, it discusses how to "come unto Christ" and how important it is to align our lives with His teachings for healing and salvation.

    If you want to check it out for yourself, here is the link to the talk: Broken Things to Mend. 😊

    That's about as close as I'm going to get. Thanks so much. Nice to have another reference like LDSBOT.com for general questions.

    To update the issue noted in San Antonio, some members of the church were not comfortable about the hiring of a Latter-Day Saint.  But Bishop Lopes said that reviewed the teachings of their church, and it was allowed.  Bishop Lopes is supporting the Latter-Day Saint and ignoring any complaints from the Catholics.  Not sure how this will end up, but interesting to see a bishop of the Catholic church take this stand.

    Hey I live in San Antonio. BTW, when I lived in Utah, there was a lady in my ward who also played the organ for one of the local Catholic churches. She did it during their Wednesday night masses.  

     

  18. Sometimes asking a person who's struggling for favors can be the best thing you could so for them

    This is me pretty recently. The missionaries in my ward really had no idea, but they did ask me to give people rides places, and that ended up leading to a ton of good for me. One of the reasons for that was feeling legitimately helpful to people. If there's something you genuinely need help with, asking a struggling friend for help with it could do them a lot of good. I'm not going to say it's the case for everyone 100% of the time, but it absolutely was for me.

    Sometimes what we need is to take the focus off our own problems or situation.

    I almost got taken in by a scammer using my American Express. Got a call. Caller ID said Amex. Said my card had been compromised and they had tried using it for $700 in Florida at a Target but was flagged because of where it was and the amount. So they tried to get me to do different things. Now the caller ID had the actual number on the back of my card so I thought legit. But during that call, I kept getting another caller trying to call that also said Amex. So I hung up and called the number on my card. Sure enough, the first caller was the scammer and was trying to get all of the information regarding my card. He had even gotten into my account online. So we had to cancel the card, and I had to change all of the stuff on my online account. Now I don't trust anyone.  And I'm usually pretty smart regarding these things.
