If someone is married and spends time with another woman he is attracted to it is very dangerous. The more time he spends with her the more dangerous it can get. This person should pray for wisdom on what he should do if he continually works with a woman he is attracted to.

Here are some great Psalms: Psalms 119 103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 30:4-5 Inspired Version Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger kindleth against the wicked; they repent, and in a moment it is turned away, and they are in his favor, and he giveth them life; therefore, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

I recently heard an ad that the oil companies are not paying their fair share in taxes. When I heard the advertisement I thought to myself raise the taxes on oil companies and they will just pass it on to the consumer.

Wow, wish I had an extra $2,950. I would spend it all on a single Kirtland Safety Society note. I could think of 100 other ways I would rather spend $3,000.

It is my opinion that there were three divisions of spirits in the pre-existence: 1) Valiant spirits 2) Less valiant spirits 3) Rebellious spirits I do not believe that 33% of the spirits were valiant, 33% were less valiant and 33% were rebellious. The following is written in Jesus The Christ on pages 6 and 7: In this struggle between unembodied hosts the forces were unequally divided; Satan drew to his standard only a third part of the children of God, who are symbolized as the "stars of heaven"; The majority either fought with Michael, or at least refrained from active opposition, [Page 7] thus accomplishing the purpose of their "first estate"; while the angels who arrayed themselves on the side of Satan "kept not their first estate", and therefore rendered themselves ineligible for the glorious possibilities of an advanced condition or "second estate". The victory was with Michael and his angels; and Satan or Lucifer, theretofore a "son of the morning", was cast out of heaven, yea "he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him". Satan was cast out in when he visited the garden of Eden. Michael and the valiant heavenly host cast them out.

I can't believe the price of gold compared to platinum. Gold is presently trading today at close to $1,639. Platinum is trading at $1,488. I used to own a platinum American Eagle 31.1 gram platinum coin but then I sold it. I sold it for more than I bought it for and made around $225.

They stopped putting silver in American coins in 1963. 1964 had some silver coins as they used up the remaining silver. One of the worst actions they ever did was completely go away from the gold standard. American currency should have had at least 10 percent of the dollar backed by gold and silver. Politicians like to print money out of nothing thus causing inflation. You would be very lucky to find a silver American coin in normal circulation today with silver being $30 per 31.1 grams.

I could see an ordinance limiting gatherings to around 30 people, but 3 people is ridiculous. I hope the courts rule in favor of freedom.

It makes sense to me that verses 7 and 8 may very likely have been inserted into the text. Look at how verses 6 through 9 read: 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. I see nothing wrong with the teachings in verse 7 or how it would conflict with true doctrine. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

I hear the Prophets constantly warn against pornography. I try to be on my guard browsing the Internet. Recently I had to set some strict rules for myself with YouTube. There is a lot of borderline pornography on that site that you can accidently view.

I wish I could agree with this statement. We live in a telestial world and some people are just evil. I like criminals to not know who is armed and who is not.

Gag! Saturday's Warrior is such a joke to me. It portrays the Gospel like a poorly written, awful movie to me. Edit: Maybe I should remove this post as I know it is bound to offend someone :)

I have never heard of that in a patriarchal blessing before. I was talking to someone I knew at church and he told me of a patriarchal blessing he read once. At a first glance it was so short he felt sorry for the person. But reading the blessing he said it was very powerful. It stated he would become a general authority though I cannot recall what position he said. When I read thru my blessing I know it is inspired. How could anyone know me so well and know what trials I would face in the future?

Here is my understanding of exaltation: “How consoling to the mourners when they are called to part with a husband, wife, father, mother, child, or dear relative, to know that, although the earthly tabernacle is laid down and dissolved, they shall rise again to dwell in everlasting burnings in immortal glory, not to sorrow, suffer, or die any more, but they shall be heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. What is it? To inherit the same power, the same glory and the same exaltation, until you arrive at the station of a god, and ascend the throne of eternal power, the same as those who have gone before. What did Jesus do? Why, I do the things I saw my Father do when worlds came rolling into existence. My Father worked out His kingdom with fear and trembling, and I must do the same; and when I get my kingdom, I shall present it to My Father, so that He may obtain kingdom upon kingdom, and it will exalt Him in glory. He will then take a higher exaltation, and I will take His place, and thereby become exalted myself. So that Jesus treads in the tracks of His Father, and inherits what God did before; and God is thus glorified and exalted in the salvation and exaltation of all His children.” (Joseph Smith Junior, “The King Follett Sermon,” Ensign, April 1971)

Sorry I gave no more updates until now. We moved out of that ward last March. The new Ward we are at now is in Utah. The ward is good. I like it, and best of all, my kids are not getting attacked at church! :)

I also have tendonitis. What has helped with my tendonitis is "MSM" and "cayenne pepper." I try to take 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams of MSM everyday. The cayenne pepper is also in capsule form. I try to take 1,200 milligrams of that everyday. I take 600 milligrams in the morning and another 600 milligrams at around 5 P.M. Do not take cayenne pepper too late at night unless you like to feel the burn. Edit: Expect to take it for at least 30 days before you see results.

From what you have stated it does not sound like it is your fault that your marriage may be ending. If your wife's family does suffer from depression than she likely inherited some of the inward troubles she is struggling with. I can empathize with those who suffer from depression. It is a very hard trial to deal with. I would suggest you keep yourself busy in doing good to fill the void in your life right now. Pray for inspiration on what you should be doing in your life and then take action. Sorry if what I wrote is not comforting at all.

This has got to be one of the best Mormon Tabernacle Choir Songs ever featuring Andrea Bocelli. It brings new meaning to Matthew 6:9-13. The music starts at 53 seconds into the video.

Here is another interesting and funny baseball pitch: The Greatest pitch ever thrown. - YouTube

I remember the video of this pitch. It is quite an amazing video. Of around one million pitches this one was definitely unique.

I am very glad the men who gathered the records together assembled the Bible as they did. A lot of the books included in what is called "the Apocrypha" have been tampered with by uninspired men and there are things which are not of the LORD in them. The New Testament is very good scripture. It is not perfect, but it is a record of the LORD.

I do not like Internet Explorer. It is more vulnerable to malicious software and I like the features of Mozilla Firefox more. Google Chrome is a great browser too. I use them both.

Changed gave some very good advice. My thoughts are faith is not faith until it has been through trials. We will receive a witness, but we must ask. And I think often we will not receive a witness until after the trial of our faith. These articles have some truths in them that can help you: LDS.org - Ensign Article - Personal Revelation: The Gift, the Test, and the Promise The Candle of the Lord - Ensign Jan. 1983
