I know when it comes to member missionary work, we are encouraged to get outside of our comfort zone. To not be afraid to look for opportunities to share the gospel among people we might meet. Basically I think we need to get out of our comfort zone a bit.

I miss him. We need another like him.
I don't know if we will ever have another like him. At least not in my lifetime. He was one of a kind.

I don't want to offend but this is one of my favorite moments in a Reagan speech.

If I remember correctly, the last time the budget for the state of California was balanced was when Reagan was governor. California actually went into the black.

For the past several years, I've wondered how to shut those things off. I never know anything about these people anyway. They're in a far part of the state where I wouldn't know a tree from a cactus.
But this morning all of our phones woke us up this morning due to an amber alert. I got up and looked at it. I sat and wondered... even if it is no one that I'm familiar with, would there be anything I could do about it? I knelt and prayed.
I get the amber, silver and blue alerts.

@Godless at least you acknowledge that child sex trafficking is a problem. Many don't or minimize it. Trafficking is bigger than people realize.
Every time an amber alert goes out these days trafficking is my first thought anymore.

Perhaps someone can tell me how long the moderation process continues before it is possible to hold a discussion without a time-induced disconnect. 10 posts? Maybe 20? One week? One month?
It was being left to me to decide and I've been on vacation. I'm not convinced this conversation is the right fit for this forum. And yes we've banned many card holding members before. So sharing your temple recommend has no bearing on the decisions of the moderators.

That guy would get annihilated down here. We joke around down here by saying “Don’t California my Florida!”
The same is said in Texas as well.

I never would have thought mainstream media was actually doing this.

This was apparently about a week ago. NBC reported accurately about the whistleblowers calling out Joe Biden's claims that he was never involved in Hunter's business dealings. And they didn't even try to white wash it.
The mainstream media is about to dump him. They're looking to either Kennedy or Newsom.
Please please please not Newsom.

For anyone that might be interested. Here is the final product. I had so much help from one of our members. I don't even know how to thank him enough. I don't want to give out his username without his permission but we were up past midnight last night working on it. Well he was working on it as I watched him.

So can we know what movie caused this conversation? I'm curious now.

Many of the needed events could happen over a very short amount of time. But, I would remind everyone that the Lord said he would come as a thief in the night. I believe the world will be going along as it always has up until the day, or few days of the second coming. Beware of putting limits on the Lord's timetable.
But yet we know that there are certain things that have been prophesied to happen before He comes again.

I would also suggest, Prophecy and Modern Times by Cleon Skousen.
I would avoid, Prophecy: Key to the future by Duane Crowther.
Why should we avoid the one out of curiosity?

This is from my favorite reference that I use regarding verse 25:
"As I read the scriptures, I often reflect upon the chilling implications of what the Apostle Peter meant when he said, 'Judgment must begin at the house of God.' (1 Pet. 4:17.) In our own day, the Lord has said, 'Vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth. ... And upon my house shall it begin.' (D&C 112:24-25; italics added.) What kind of judgments does the Lord have in mind? Why do the scriptures say that the cleansing will begin with the Church, rather than with the wicked?
"The scriptures reveal that the Lord will save his greatest wrath and condemnation for those who outwardly appear religious but who are actually full of evil within. Speaking to Jewish religious leaders, the Savior said, 'Cleanse first that which is within the cup. ... Ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.' (Matt. 23:26-27.) Similarly, the great Book of Mormon leader, Moroni, wrote, 'God has said that the inward vessel shall be cleansed first.' (Alma 60:23.)
"President Ezra Taft Benson left little room for doubt that these warnings apply to us. He declared, 'All is not well in Zion. ... We must cleanse the inner vessel, beginning first with ourselves, then with our families, and finally with the Church.' (Ensign, May 1986, p. 4)
"There are two methods of cleansing the inner vessel. The first is repentance. But if we do not repent, the Lord will invoke the second method of cleansing-from without. One way or another, the vessel will be cleansed." (Larry Tippetts, "Cleansing the Inner Vessel: The Process of Repentance," Ensign, Oct. 1992, 21)

Ahhh I found it. Section 112

One particular sign that I've been interested in, both for what it means but also as a pretty good mile marker, is the following:
D&C 24 Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. 25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; 26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord
I've heard various interpretations of what the Lord means by "my house." Some say it is specifically the temples, others the Church in general and yet others to the United States or even the Promised Lands in general. I'd be curious to know other people's interpretation and what you think it means.
But regardless, it seems to be a pretty significant milestone and a lead into much of what we might refer to as the "scary" signs of the last days.
What section is this referring to?

I read the first one. It was definitely not as bad as I had been led to believe it would be.
Probably not really relevant, but I seem to remember hearing that Dallas Jenkins of The Chosen is the author's son.
Dallas Jenkins is his son. Jerry B. Jenkins was one of the authors of the series.
