  1. Sometimes the most handicapped people are those with no apparent handicaps. Suffering teaches us what the Spirit can't. The depths to which we sink determine the heights to which we can soar. While Christ's atonement is infinite and eternal, the time for repentance isn't. Christ's atonement brings mercy to the repentant, and justice to the unrepentant. The Fall involved the unlawful removal of divine fruit from a tree. The Atonement involved the unlawful placement of divine fruit on a tree. God does not call the qualified…he qualifies the called. Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. the Church is not a resort for the perfected, but a hospital for the sick
  2. Love ya, Iggy...but I'm a Pepsi girl!!!
  3. I misspelled it too! I just got into it because my kids are, but I really don't know nearly as much as they do!! My daughter is a pokemaster and the envy of the neighborhood!! She has 1000's of cards!!!
  4. How come I didn't get a horn? I have been a Mormon for three years, when do my horns start to grow? I think they are cool!!!!
  5. It is my personal suspicion that Gandalf IS Dumbledore!!!
  6. Obsessive compulsive disorder. I have never been diagnosed with it, but I suspect I may have a touch of it where my scriptures are concerned!!
  7. I cut and pasted that into my "book of pearls". It is a book I keep of special thoughts, quotes and poems...Your post made it into my book!! Thank you for that!!!
  8. Yes, I read Mere Christianity while I was still a Baptist...I need to read it again with a clearer vision...you have inspired me to go to the library this week!!!
  9. To be honest, I still don't fully understand this sealing process! I have never been sealed to anybody and niether has anyone in my family. I feel like it is wrong that I have to be married to be sealed to my kids, What if I never find a mate? And why do we need to be sealed, why can't we just find each other again in the afterlife? What is the point of sealing? It all gets so complicated and confusing, especially in my situation where all of my siblings have different fathers and mothers. (My father was married 5 times, my mother was married 4 with children resulting from all of these marriages...I don't even have a CLUE how to sort it all out!!!)
  10. Yes, that is wonderfull! I did not get a burning in my bosom...I got a Spiritual experience in the Temple...long story, but the Bishop basically sent me to the Temple even though I admitted to him that I did not as yet have a testimony...I felt the very thinness of the veil and I cannot expound further, but I DID recieve my testimony the very first time I went to the Temple...(The Palmyra Temple, I might add!)
  11. The name is Virginia, and since I am in NY, I plan to watch.
  12. OH, and Pushka...Back off!! I saw the Dork first!!! ...Just kidding!! He is a mite too young for me...I just couldn't resist saying that!!!
  13. It would be easier for me to just draw something for you and send it...I don't have a digital camera or a car...I have not been into the city in months...I live in the suburbs... Name it, I can draw it...I do nature scenes best, and animals, of course!! But I am flexible and I can draw pretty much anything...I painted that picture in my 7th grade art class and I used a photo from a national Geographic magazine. It is in the Everson Museum because I was the youngest person to ever win first prize in the New York State Festival of the Arts..."course, that was many moons ago"
  14. Heaven forbid!! I'd knock myself out!!!
  15. You are right, luck had nothing to do with it!!!
  16. I don't care who gets sustained, but I am looking forward to finding out who he is!! I am also looking forward to the prophet's words, and I really love pres. Monson!!!...No, my name isn't Molly!! I really mean it!!!
  17. Yeah, like me!! (where is that sparkly grin when you need it?) I begged my Bishop to let me go...no dice, I'm too old!! He won't let me sit in with my daughter at Seminary this year either!! I was 40 when I joined this church...I missed out on all that.
  18. You are a lucky man! :)
  19. so, this vegemite stuff is like a vegetable jelly? Yuck! And Morning star, your killing me!! What is UMW?
  20. Hey, if I can give up coffee...ANYBODY can give up smoking!!! (but I will be praying for you!)
  21. I miss that "zip your lip" smily that they have on ldstalk!!!
  22. In a sense, yes...by taking the Sacrament, we are renewing our baptismal covenants..We don't get wet every week, but we remember our Lord and renew our commitments to him every week.
