i haven't been to the temple yet . i would love to do all that heavenly father ask of me first, like my ordinances and callings and such, i want heavenly father to be happy with my service if that makes sense .

i think its a type of autism, as willow said it totally depends on his capabilities and where god wishes him to serve. its fantastic he wishes to serve . best wishes, tree

"welcome home" yours truly , tree kick back and relax !!

i have several, one big uugglly!!, one on my back was removed in 1993, and grew back immediatly, but i never went back to have it checked and now i have a few more little ones all over my legs , arms , back and face, ive been discussing with my husband to go get checked out , thanks to your post in honor of this special lady i will go get them checked out. i know i neglected to do the right thing , so if i get bad news its my fault.( i just want to make the temple before i croak!! ) lots of love tree

i am sorry i dont know all the do's & dont's of this site my husband found it for me, and i am just learning . i will ask him when he gets home to take and show me where all the rules are O.K.

:sunny::sunny:i got married last may and I've not been cut off at all and i have medicaid and medicare, but i worked for years before i got it, so your girlfriend receives hers off her fathers ss income, you should call and talk to the social security people and see what your options will be. you have to make a certain amount of money before they will lower or deny her a check. if you only make 700.00 a month and she collects 400.00 i dont see where that should hurt very much if at all. but i dont have all the facts so check it out, what could it hurt ?

crytsprospect, you are an awesome person as far as i am concerned, why do you feel that you dont fit in???? i mean , i dont know you out-side of this forum but ive never heard any thing disrespectful out of you, have you talked to any one about this behavior ?? some times it helps to confront in a LOVING WAY your feelings . or go to your bishop for some help. if you did all that and it didnt help ,just come on down to rockport, texas and you will feel right at home in our branch,( cause youll have me, ha ! ha!) our branch is all so close that i would not move anywhere else unless the lord told me to. well my BIG GUT is fighting my little gut over my spine , so i better go eat some thing before my body turns on its self, talk more later ,,tree

hey, hey i hope your O.K. stay way from the birds ,, i heard their pretty FOWL!! i hear in TIBET its good luck to KISS a BUZZARD, ha ! ha! just jiving. have a wonderful time and let us in on the exciting stuff that happens there .

i have been thinking about that a lot here lately. and what exactly happened when the veil was rent at the time jesus was on the cross . what was the veil ?

matthew 6:30-34. seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and all will be given you. god says he will ( and he does)take care of his own. that doesnt mean life wont get tough from time to time, it happens to us all. but its what and how you handle it when it happens, trust in god with all your heart ,always especially when times are tough, i promise you heavenly father will see you through. i was born 3lbs -14 oz. my mom was told i wouldnt live 2wks. max. but when i did they said i would be some what retarded, yes i have some mental illness and some learning disabilities but , since i came to heavenly father i am being healed , a little at a time but i am getting there. i didnt know how i would make ends meet but with half a will power and an awesome heavenly father giving me the courage to try ive always made it. if i can do it ,i am sure you can, plus i had two kids to support. now i have a loving husband that supports me and my daughter ( now 7yrs old) my son is now 18 and has his own house on his dads land. we are not rich but we are comfortable, god seen i needed a proper help mate, and now i have one. seek god first and i promise you wont regret it !

elphaba that video was priceless, my family and i are cracking up!

hello , welcome to our site . (every bodies site ) i have 3 homosexuals in my family, i love them dearly. i cant even imagine the fear and confusion youve faced, about coming out. i know how i feel about people judging me for being bipolar and all the stigma . well peace and happiness to you , TREE

awesome ill write that down.

wow,! ive learned so much through this post ! thanks !

i don't feel that the difference in church beliefs should break up your marriage, those kids love and need you both, "together" !!!! if you don't gain a testimony , agree to disagree!! you go to yours -she will go to hers. as far as the children take turns taking them to church, our church has a Sunday morning service, and most other churches have Sunday night and wednesday night services. i know it might confuse them a little (but think what it would do to them mentally and emotionally have you two divorced) soon they will be old enough to make their own decisions. but don't play them one religion against another. just pray that the lords will be done. I'm sorry if this sounds to straight forward, not trying to tell you what to do but if it were me in this predicament , this is how i would handle it. to me it makes the best sense. i am no expert but this is my opinion, and i guess that's what you wanted was others opinions ? i hope it helps !! prayers will go out for you and your precious family.

willow you are so amazing, you ought to write a book helping family and friends to understand deep depression and the do's and dont's that would help both ( the depressed and the loved ones ) to better cope and understand. i wish just one of my family members would have understood the way that you do. its so impossible to deal with especially on your own,with two kids. you cant take care of your self much less any one else , my ex took my son to help out but my oldest sister took my daughter, but forbade that i ever see her again , even was going to move out of state to make sure i didn't. i was in the hospital and wasn't able to fight back, so i mustered up a little but straight forward prayer , heavenly father came through for me. i recovered enough in a week to get out and went and took my daughter back with out any problems from her other than gossip and totally trashing me as a parent. it was such a struggle though. only by the grace of god did i ever pull through, the side effects of the meds and the total lack of support nearly did me in. education is key to all involved with this horrifying disease.

yes, i know it makes me feel so alive and worth while when i help others or accomplish a great feat . but this can only work before a major breakdown(because during , there is no way to do anything, eat , sit up , socialise )or after a certain amount of recovery. so it really depends how deep the depression is as to what a depressed person is capable of accomplishing.

to my knowledge ive never been checked for that, i will insist on the specific test and let you know the out come, thanks for the great advice!!

1. Can God be? It is a definite possibility, I've always felt that way. so !!!!!!! you DO feel some thing . the holy spirit himself had to give you that feeling, or thought. other wise you would just KNOW that there is no such thing as god and would not be trying so hard to KNOW HIM or to FEEL HIM. you questioned ,,is there a god? .... you prayed and asked for an answer ? if you didnt believe in heavenly father you wouldnt have prayed. god has sent you all the proof you need. ask your wife about the rich man who went to hell, then begged god to send him to his brothers from the grave to tell them to believe in god and obey him so they wouldnt end up with the same fate, god said no because they have his word and the prophets, if they didnt believe them , they wouldnt believe you .( because they would find a reason to RATIONALIZE the fact that they seen his ghost away . probably blame it on the grief of losing their brother.) god has his own way of doing things , when we are able to handle certain things he will show us, but he will never force himself on you. the fact that you have" ALWAYS felt that way,," is proof he wants to commune with you , he is knocking .... its your choice to open the door or say go away. once this life is over, having a complete chance of hearing the word and the prophet of today,,,wether or not you accept is what is gonna seal your fate, the proof is here and now. choose for your self where you end up, god will not be mocked, you will bowdown before him like it or not, you can choose him now or regret it in the eternities. he loves you . but he wont force you to love him back . you have all the proof you need . there will be no excuse latter." BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."

no human race has ever been soul less as far as i know??!! even as a child i couldn't see why prejudice ever existed. i have some mixed races in my family tree (BLACK,MEXICAN, and ORIENTLE ) they are so beautiful . i love them all !!!! i wish the world would get over this " HATE TRAP " that satan has ensnared upon it and tell satan we are no longer blind, deaf and dumb and will not except it any more. every body should be proud of their race , but what few choose to interbreed have that right or God would not allow it to be possible. PEACE, LOVE and EQUALITY to ALL in the name of JESUS CHRIST AMEN. =

fantastic!!!!!!! welcome to the site. how do you spell " I LOVE JESUS " in Arabic ? i hope you totally enjoy your mission in Russia! well it seems like your on your way , you sound like a real for CHRIST, keep it up!!!!!!!

welcome and you will love this site! my 7yr old wants to say hello, hi my name is keeley elizabeth boyd im in first grade, in september i will be 8yrs. old,and i will be baptized.

i think your color is beautiful. i keep trying to change mine but i cant get it to work? and thanks every one for the books that were recommended, i wrote them down so that i could try to find them, I'm sure they are great books and will help.and the support you all give is more precious than gold my whole family is well off and they all just about own their own businesses , so i am a total cast out, referred to as the retarded one,white trailer trash and hill-billy because i am a simple person and love every body and i am not afraid to get my hands dirty. i had my mom move in with me because she is getting old, but because i felt i was being called back to church(which i left because of her hostility towards me about being Mormon, and at the time i was bad off in my depression and had a 2yr old to take care of,so i moved in with her so we could help each other out.)and came back full force not letting her control my destiny and desires to serve heavenly father as i please, she is moving out at the end of this month on her own accord not to mention verbally attacked the elders,but they were so polite and it didn't seem to bother them so she turned around and came at me, but soon she will be out of the house and peace will be restored. sad huh! i will fight the good fight as i was called to do and this time no one will stop me ! lots of love ,tree.

sounds like its totally awesome. i am looking forward to it. lots of love !!

:sunny:depression is an ugly disease. my heart bleeds for US who suffer from it. my prayers are with you all. fibroidmyalgia is just as bad. and believe it or not my restless leg syndrome is worst than any thing i have ever experienced. requip will be the only medication i will remain on as soon as i am totally weaned off the Zoloft. at one time i was on 6 different meds at once and hospitalised 3 times . praise God for answered prayer!!:sunny::sunny:
