Urso

Okay, I am tired of dancing around ths subject. I have made and lost fortunes in the past few years. Right now we are not wealthy but we have what we need. Every time this issue comes up in priesthood or Sunday school there is a sharp division. The haves think they are being blessed materially and the have nots think the 30+ references in the Book of Mormon cannot mean prosper materially because "they are righteous and they do not have any money" or they can point to a very wicked man who is prospering financially. I can too. I have been studying this fervently because I am tired of seeing everyone run and hide when this issues is raised. Surely someone has a good answer that fully explains this thorny topic Best

My son and Daughter just lost their first child after 4 months of pregnancy. They are sad as is the rest of our family but took the easy way out by consoling ourselves that nature has a way of dealing with imperfect bodies. This was not exactly a satisfying response since it does not address the issue that many physically and mentally imperfect children are born every day. I tried to put this on the shelf to reexamine the issue but it keeps nagging at me. A sister in the ward, who should know what she is talking about, (don't you hate it when this clause is added) told my wife and I that of course these bodies have a spirit and that Sarah was told that she will be able to care for these children until the millenium after which they will be raised by the parents of their physical bodies until maturity. Has anyone ever heard this doctrine taught? It is so specific that I have to believe that there is some basis for it. Anyone have any references that I can study to better understand this issue? Thanks,
