I still do not have a mainstream social media account. When these came out years ago I felt they would not benefit me but be used against me. It never crossed my mind that social media would be used to attempt to dismantle the spiritual faith of many. Apparently the Adversary is being successful in his works. After reading about this subject it makes me want a mainstream social media account even less.

I asked my seminary teacher about this subject over fifteen years ago. The question I asked was why the Nephites were praying to Christ when He was present with them in the book of III Nephi. He replied to me that if Christ were physically present with you and a group of others you would probably be praying to Him as well. I have come to believe that Christ oversees and has a lot of personal interaction what happens on this Earth as Heavenly Father has committed it into His hands. But I will continue to do as revealed to the modern day prophets and pray unto Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ.

This topic made me think of one of my many favorite scriptures. These verses are in Alma chapter 12: 34 Therefore, whosoever repenteth, and hardeneth not his heart, he shall have claim on mercy through mine Only Begotten Son, unto a remission of his sins; and these shall enter into my rest. 35 And whosoever will harden his heart and will do iniquity, behold, I swear in my wrath that he shall not enter into my rest.

I wrote words in a reply just recently and tried to post them and they got wiped. Maybe the LORD wanted me to say something different. So here I go again. In my own opinion I do not believe in progression between kingdoms of glory but I could be wrong. I feel like I am so lacking in worthiness to qualify any glory in the next life. But I like these words written below: "The mortal probation is provided as an opportunity for advancement; but so great are the difficulties and the dangers, so strong is the influence of evil in the world, and so weak is man in resistance thereto, that without the aid of a power above that of humanity, no soul would find its way back to God from whom it came." -- James Talmage I love the way President Gordon Hinckley used to teach this principle. I heard him say, “Brothers and sisters, all the LORD expects of us is to try, but you have to really try!” So, to all who read this, keep trying and working toward the Kingdom of God in your mortal journey. “Yes, you are going to make it as long as you keep repenting and do not rationalize or rebel. The God of heaven is not a heartless referee looking for any excuse to throw us out of the game." (-- Elder J. Devn Cornish) So, do not rationalize or rebel. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. If you fall once or a thousand times, just get up again and keep moving toward the LORD.

Joseph Smith History verse 37 reads as follows: "For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."

I love Jordan Peterson and I have listened to many of his messages. He is a voice of reason and sanity in a world blown about by every wind of doctrine.

I personally believe the 2nd coming of the LORD is not for years, but many difficult trials are coming upon the children of men soon. We have wicked people in seats of authority that are trying to put in motion terrible things and the consequences will be awful upon the general population. These people hate humankind. How can anyone think otherwise with war to reduce farming and crops and to make gasoline and diesel products unaffordable?

Droughts seem to be hitting many areas in the world. Sadly I just got rid of almost all my water storage as we moved to an apartment recently. And in about five months we are going to move again. We sold our home while the real estate market was still decent in Utah.

They disabled a normal user's access to view dislikes on YouTube. I think it is because certain people were trying to push a narrative on YouTube and a large part of the common population was rejecting it.

This movie looks so awful. No interest at all from me. I saw out of 576,000 people that viewed it on YouTube only about 7,300 people gave it a thumbs up. Hopefully the film bombs.

This is another follow up on this subject. A 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card sold recently for $12,600,000. Take a look at the below website. 1952 Mickey Mantle Card Sells For Record $12.6 Million At Auction (forbes.com)

The other day I opened some Deseret canned chili. 7 years six months past the expiration date. I smelled it and it smelled okay. I then ate the whole can without cooking it. No food poisoning. The can was stored in a cool and dry location in my cellar. I would not recommend eating food that is this long past expiration date. Probably would limit canned chili or tuna in water to less than six years if it was stored in a cool and dry place.

From what I have heard, if the Chinese were to invade Taiwan they would lose many, numerous troops. It would make their military look weak with the terrible losses. If China were to invade Taiwan they would first need to bomb and shell it for a long period of time. It would take a very long time I believe before Taiwan defenses would be weakened enough for China to attempt a land invasion of troops. It would be a very long campaign that would require many Chinese resources.

I have been getting bad feelings about China. It has a very large military, the largest in the world. The leadership seem obsessed with calling Taiwan part of China. In the last days before the LORD comes it would not surprise me if China was one of the main invading forces into Israel. Will they attack Taiwan soon? I hope not.

A lot of good points made in that podcast Folk Prophet. Thanks for posting it.

In my observation it seems Trump angered many people in the District of Columbia and they want to get him at any cost to prevent him from running again for President. It appears federal law enforcement is being used as a weapon to selectively target those who will not bow to the wishes of people running the District of Columbia. The corruption is exposed more and more as time continues. It is sad to me that those with the majority in Congress and the current executive branch do not care about the common good of American citizens. They want to raid the public treasury and get what they can while they have their time in office.

If she was in a well stocked latter-day saint household her Mom would have sent the child to the cellar downstairs, got some frozen butter out, grabbed some powdered milk and some wheat from the dried food storage so she could grind it into flour. After grinding the wheat she would have made some home made bread.

I heard the deficit spending amendment they want to add would require over 50% of the State legislatures to approve the deficit spending unless we had a declaration of war in effect. The more and more I look at the District of Columbia the more I see it resembles a corrupt banana republic. We have many robbers and thieves sitting in some of the highest seats of authority in this land.

I love the opening line of this comedy: "For thousands of years humanity lived in peace without any murders or violence at all, and then, firearms were invented."

Are the lockdowns still going on in Australia? I do know that the general population has severe restrictions on firearms use for self defense in Australia. In my opinion I would not want to live in any land that bans the common population from decent quality semi auto or pump action firearms for self defense. We live in an evil telestial world and I want weapons for protection until all the wicked are destroyed from off the Earth.

I thought law enforcement officers were not allowed to serve on juries. Is that different in Utah?

Women can be very emotional creatures. 😁

To me the rot and stench of the federal government is on full display now and the wickedness of many in the common population. I would be surprised if we are still the United States in eight more years because there may be States that break away. (But this country went through far worse during the War of 1812 and the Civil War.) Already diesel fuel shortages are now being reported in the eastern United States. The one good thing about the hardships coming on us soon is it will force many to return to reality and hopefully turn to the LORD.

Ouch. A car with only about 25,000 miles on it and the engine is broken down. I am so sorry. What type of car was it? In my opinion a good car lasts for over 170,000 miles without major transmission or engine problems. A really great car lasts for over 225,000 miles without needed any major repairs. I know someone driving a Toyota (I believe it is a RAV4 model) that has over 300,000 miles on it. Highest mileage car I ever owned was a Nissan Sentra with over 239,000 miles on the car. We bought it at high mileage and dumped it in a junkyard after about a year. We only paid about $1,000 for the vehicle.
