  1. My question to you would be, how are you praying about it? Are you just asking "what should I do?" If you are, that isn't the best way to pray about it. Read D&C 9:8-9. It tells you how you should go about making a decision and praying about it. You need to make a decision on your own first, the one that you think is best, then pray and ask if it is right.

    I know someone who knew they were supposed to go on a mission. They prepared to go and were about to turn in their papers and were in an interview with the Stake President. The Stake President told this person they are not to go on a mission and that the Lord wanted this person to only prepare to go. This person had been dating and the Stake President said that they needed to go get married.

    So maybe you are only supposed to prepare. I don't know. Pray about it in they way it says in D&C 9:8-9. I hope all goes well in whatever comes next in your life.

  2. GO DUCKS!!! I want a rematch with Boise State and see the Ducks put a woop on them this time! Oregon would kill them them this time just like they did with USC. There is no way Boise State should be in the top 10 since they haven't played anybody other than Oregon.

  3. I'm a huge Oregon Ducks fan and I'm not happy for the actions by Blount. I am glad Blount was punished for what he did but I am very upset that Boise State did not take any actions on behalf of Hout, their fans, and that they kept showing the punch over and over again inside the stadium, which was egging on the fans. That is just classless. The University of Oregon did their part in punishing Blount and now Boise State needs to do their part in punishing Hout. I have never liked Boise State and now I dislike them even more!

  4. Did anyone see how the Blazers beat the Bulls a few nights ago? The Blazers one by 42 points!! I swear that there were at least 15 dunks by the Blazers during this game. It was a complete domination by my team, the Blazers. I haven't seen the Lakers win by that much this season yet.

  5. I think the alternative fuel, Ethanol, is a joke. Why would you take food and make fuel? Taking food away from us to make fuel that is not as good as oil. You get a lot worse gas mileage out of Ethanol than oil. Ethanol should stop being used and give us the food back. There is a much better way to use that food. People in other countries are starving and what are we doing with it? Using it to fuel our cars! Ridiculous!

  6. I can't believe I am saying this, especially being a Blazers fan, but the Lakers are looking really good this year. But I am very mad at the Lakers right now for taking out Greg Oden for 2-4 weeks!

  7. 5 reasons not to mess with children

    A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

    A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows

    what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

    A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

    The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And

    there's the teacher, she's dead."

    The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch

    line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

  8. I teach Elders Quorum on the third week of every month. I have only taught two lessons so far and I teach tomorrow. I do struggle preparing but I just teach straight from the manual. I know others that should be teaching out of the manual but don't, they just teach the subject. I think I teach right out of it because it is what should be taught. I do get a good discussion going about the topics in each lesson.
