I said a prayer for you. I hope you will fully heal and recover. Thank goodness the vehicle you were driving did not hit anyone else.

Why don't you ask the LORD about this and then search the Book of Mormon until you obtain an answer?

As I interpret the Inspired Version of I Corinthians 15:38-40 I think there are differences in celestial, terrestrial and telestial bodies. What that is exactly this means I do not know. God will give bodies as He chooses. We do know those inheriting a telestial glory will be resurrected last.

Prayerfully study the Inspired Version of I Corinthians 15 in these verses and ponder the meaning. 38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 Also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial, and bodies telestial; but the glory of the celestial, one; and the terrestrial, another; and the telestial, another.

I agree also with you JudoMinja. I think if you abstain from all forms of sex and only have intimate relations with your marriage partner it causes your bond to become even stronger with them.

Masturbation can open the door for other sins. Small sins spread whatever they are. It can take years for people who have developed this habit to overcome it even after they are married and having regular intimate relations with their companion. In my opinion it just engenders selfishness. But we must not regard masturbation as heinous as fornication or adultery. If one is struggling to overcome the habit be patient yourself. Pray and fast and avoid all forms of pornography. You will eventually overcome if you are diligently seeking the LORD.

Thomas Edison said: "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration." I believe what you are saying. People who are really successful at whatever they are doing have passion for their work. If the passion is not there you get sloppy and lazy. The prize goes to those who are diligent because they are the ones who are always working at it.

You will have a temple in your mission that you can attend. The people of Las Vegas surely need your service. I hope you work miracles in the hands of the LORD.

Jesus The Christ is one of the best books ever written. I has given me knowledge of the Savior I never would have had had I not read it.

Here is an update on my brothers honeybees. He smoked them and opened up the hive. Everything looks like it is going well. The queen bee is laying eggs, the bees are producing honey and being productive. I have never had honey in the comb and I cannot wait to try some. I used to be really scared of going near the hive but when he smokes the bees I have no issues now getting within 6 feet of the hive. Honeybees are so industrious and useful. They are quite fascinating creatures the LORD created.

The magazine may not be worth $5 but your integrity is still intact

Hello Lisa. Welcome to the forums! I hope you decide to take lessons from the missionaries to learn more about the LORD. If you are interested in contacting the missionaries just let us know. Although I was raised in this church I had to study and pray and work to find out for myself if it was true. It was the best thing I ever did in my life thus far.

I liked that comic and I do think it is true. Thanks for posting.

I was also thinking of the scripture Dravin posted in Alma 32:28 (a very good scripture might I add). Here is something else from the Tree of Life vision in I Nephi 8: 11 And it came to pass that I did go forth and partake of the fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted. Yea, and I beheld that the fruit thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen. 12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit.

This is just turning into a disagreement about who is right and wrong. I will peacefully agree to disagree with you Dravin and just leave it at that.

If your son were browsing through the Sears website would you want him to see a picture of a naked woman only covered by completely transparent clothing?

Sears advertises it is family friendly. I do not think it is family friendly to show a woman's bare breasts not even covered by see through cloth and her wearing nothing to cover her lower half. Believe what you want but it is pornography in my judgment. A naked woman does not have to model lingerie. It can be put on a mannequin.

I recently read this message I received from American Family Association: "Under the new leadership of Chairman Edward Lampert, Sears is now offering hard-core pornographic DVDs and music. Not just a few x-rated products, but scores of them! American Family Association ordered one of the DVDs to see if it really came from Sears. It did! It was mailed to us in a Sears envelope, with a Sears shipping label, from a Sears distribution center. Not only does Sears' website allow children to view its pornographic offerings online, it will sell them to children. During our online check-out process, we were never asked to verify our age." After reading this I visited the Sears website after reading this message and was disturbed by what I saw. In my opinion there is no reason to have a naked woman in lingerie modeling your merchandise. This is the letter I sent Sears: Hello, I am highly disappointed at the pornographic material your website contains. There is no reason to have pictures of naked or nearly naked women to sell your products. Know that I will likely not purchase merchandise from Sears for quite some time if changes are not made to the way you present your products. Please remove the offensive pictures from your websites. Thank you Sears sent me back this letter: Dear Keith XXXXXX, We sincerely apologize to any customers who were offended. Our agreements with our vendors prohibit content that is pornographic or sexually explicit in nature. We are removing these items that do not meet our guidelines. We regularly review our processes to ensure compliance by our vendors, and we encourage our customers and community to help us flag any items that they believe might violate our guidelines We sincerely appreciate your feedback and want you to know that you have been heard. Sincerely, Miguel G. Retail Customer Care Sears Holdings Corporation I presently do not have the will to go back and browse their website again anytime soon but I hope this person will follow through on what they said they will do. Hopefully this is one small victory.

I cannot believe Osama Bin Laden managed to evade the impending death awaiting him for this long. He was killed in Pakistan in a mansion. Dioxi ribonucleic acid (DNA) tests confirm his death.

Honeybees have been fascinating to me for a few years. My brother recently purchased some honeybees and became a Bee Keeper. All the bees cost him $80 but I do not know how much the rest of his equipment cost. There is only one queen per hive. The queen is the only bee with fully developed ovaries. A queen bee can live for 3-5 years. The queen mates only once with several male (drone) bees, and will remain fertile for life. She lays up to 2,000 eggs per day. Fertilized eggs become female (worker bees) and unfertilized eggs become male (drone bees). When she dies or becomes unproductive, the other bees will "make" a new queen by selecting a young larva and feeding it a diet of "royal jelly". For queen bees, it takes 16 days from egg to emergence. All worker bees are female, but they are not able to reproduce. Worker bees live for 4-9 months during the winter season, but only 6 weeks during the busy summer months (they literally work themselves to death). Nearly all of the bees in a hive are worker bees. A hive consists of 20,000 - 30,000 bees in the winter, and over 60,000 - 80,000 bees in the summer. The worker bees sequentially take on a series of specific chores during their lifetime: housekeeper; nursemaid; construction worker; grocer; undertaker; guard; and finally, after 21 days they become a forager collecting pollen and nectar. For worker bees, it takes 21 days from egg to emergence. The worker bee has a barbed stinger that results in her death following stinging, therefore, she can only sting once. The drone bees are male bees. They are kept on standby during the summer for mating with a virgin queen. After mating a drone dies. There are only 300-3,000 drones in a hive. The drone does not have a stinger. Because they are of no use in the winter, drones are expelled from the hive in the autumn. Agriculture depends greatly on the honeybee for pollination. Honeybees account for 80% of all insect pollination. Without such pollination, we would see a significant decrease in the yield of fruits and vegetables. My brother filmed the bee transfer from his car trunk to emptying them into their new hive. You can watch it all on YouTube here: You hear a child screaming at one point during the transfer. He was not stung.

I think it is a violation of parental rights to ban parents from feeding their children what they want at school. There are many reasons I would not want to live in Illinois and this certainly adds to the list reasons.

I would remove the teaching you posted from the book of Enoch. It appears much of the Book of Enoch focuses on angels leaving their habitation with God to come down from heaven. Once on earth they procreated with women and had giants for offspring. This teaching in the book is false. Angels who rebelled and fought against the LORD were thrust out and were denied physical bodies forever. Joseph Smith and Latter-Day Saint doctrine teaches otherwise. Look at the verses he translated in the Pearl of Great Price in Moses Chapter 8: 13 And Noah and his sons hearkened unto the Lord, and gave heed, and they were called the sons of God. 14 And when these men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, the sons of men saw that those daughters were fair, and they took them wives, even as they chose. 15 And the Lord said unto Noah: The daughters of thy sons have sold themselves; for behold mine anger is kindled against the sons of men, for they will not hearken to my voice. The correct translation of Genesis 6 is the daughters who were were born into righteousness married outside their faith and left it. In the Gospel Principles manual it teaches this in Chapter 3: "In this great rebellion, Satan and all the spirits who followed him were sent away from the presence of God and cast down from heaven. One-third of the spirits in heaven were punished for following Satan: they were denied the right to receive mortal bodies. Because we are here on earth and have mortal bodies, we know that we chose to follow Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. Satan and his followers are also on the earth, but as spirits. They have not forgotten who we are, and they are around us daily, tempting us and enticing us to do things that are not pleasing to our Heavenly Father." Do any of angels in heaven have the power to create flesh? This is the power of our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son. The erroneous doctrine makes no sense when you compare it with the doctrines of the restored gospel.

So Anatess, has your uncle ever asked this spirit what he does with all the time he has? I think when you die it would be very boring if there is nothing to do but hang around a house.

A thanks to all who offered advice. We found a three bedroom apartment we like and signed a one year lease and are moved in (still unpacking though). Now I am looking for a job as a forklift drive or in the shipping/receiving warehouse field not more than 25 miles from the Layton area. I have a job interview with a temporary employment agency on Monday. It's great to be back in Utah!

"People say the timing is terrible, and I admit the timing is terrible," Wimmer said. "We have a part-time legislature in Utah, and we are only in session for 45 days. Certainly meaning no disrespect to the tragedy in Arizona, we moved forward in doing this because it's the only opportunity that we had." Oh my goodness. It seems whenever there is a news article like this they always have to add in comments like this. The news rarely talks about automobile crashes killing people (which happen very frequently) but they love the stories of murderers killing people using guns.
