Edema Rue she/her Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 12 hours ago, Mason Wheeler said: One that I keep coming back to is 2 Nephi 9: 28-29. It's an important reminder to be humble, particularly in our day when we always hear people say that the Gospel and its principles can and must be discarded as outdated nonsense, and that we have a far better understanding today with all our science and technology. Because inevitably, if you wait long enough, you always see these "new and improved" ideas collapse and cause great suffering. Well, those of us who paid attention to the Gospel, and anchored our souls to the Lord (Hebrews 6: 19) to not continue to be "tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine" (Ephesians 4: 14) ended up avoiding all that suffering. I'll always remember, in the early 2000s, my stepfather's employer offered a new plan to invest their retirement savings in the stock market to help it grow more quickly. Everyone thought this was awesome and jumped on board... except for him. He thought back to President Hinckley's advice to get your houses in order and be cautious in temporal and financial matters, and he turned down the opportunity. He missed out on a few rip-roaring years in the stock market, but he also missed out on the 2008 crash that wiped out his coworkers' gains. In the end, the only one to profit was the one who listened to the Prophet! I really love this story because it took a few years for him to finally see the benefits. Yesterday, I chose to go to sacrament meeting instead of taking a once in a lifetime opportunity, and all the people who did have been saying how amazing it was nonstop. But following God and the prophets is always the right choice, even if it takes years or a lifetime of watching others flourish before you see it. Thanks for sharing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through The Living Glass She/Her Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I hope y'all have had the opportunity to read this already. It's so beautiful. "Today we celebrate the gift of victory over every fall we have ever experienced, every sorrow we have ever known, every discouragement we have ever had, every fear we have ever faced — to say nothing of our resurrection from death and forgiveness for our sins. That victory is available to us because of events that transpired on a weekend precisely like this nearly two millennia ago in Jerusalem." ~ Elder Jeffery R.

PianoSavant she/her Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 So I tried something: I'm not sure how well it worked but I found a bunch of Elvish names and I saw some that meant things like "Carpenter" and "Forgiver" and I was like "This could totally describe Jesus" so I made a bunch of the names into a Jesus poem. In Elvish. Again, I'm not sure how well it worked but here it is: Spoiler Þamno, Þamnion Mámandil, Minion Nildo Laitar, Ilvanion Firila, Eruion Apsenido Airo, Rehtaro Cemencalma, Melehto Turundo (Translation) Carpenter, Son of a Carpenter Lover/Friend of Sheep, First Son Friend Blesser/Praiser, Son of Perfect One Dying, Son of God Forgiver Holy One, Rescuer/Saver Earthlight, Mighty One Conqueror/Master 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
