pam Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Each of us carries a load. Out individual load consists of demands and opportunities. Is the load I am carrying giving me the traction to keep me on the path so that I don’t get stuck? Sometimes we think happiness is the absence of a load. We should not haul around nice and unnecessary things that we are distracting from those things that matter the most. Making and keeping sacred covenants yokes us to Jesus Christ. We are not and never will be alone. Covenants and ordinances are necessary. The atonement of Jesus Christ overcomes the effects of the fall of Adam. The atonement enables us to do good and do better in ways far beyond our mortal capacities. The Savior has made it possible for us to become clean. The atonement is for faithful men and women who are striving to become better. It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to earth to die for us. He came to enliven us. The Savior suffered for our physical pains and anguish. Our weaknesses and our shortcoming. Our despair and desperation. The injustices we experience. There is not pain, infirmity or weakness that the Savior did not experience first. The Savior has perfect empathy. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We will be blessed with spiritual traction. Today is April the 6th. We know by revelation that this is the accurate birth date of Christ.

The Folk Prophet Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 My wife and I just got a truck. I felt sure, for a bit, that I was about to be reprimanded for doing so by an apostle. pam and Wingnut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrShorty Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I\'m not sure what to make of that statement, Maureen. In the written version available on lds.org, he gives several references, including past statements from GC by Pres. Kimball and Pres. Lee asserting the same thing. It still seems to me like it is all based on Elder Talmage\'s interpretation of D&C 20:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 If one would like to start another thread regarding this subject feel free. I'd prefer not to have a debate on my General Conference notes. Wingnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
