I think I saw this phrase on a bumper sticker but I think it remains true. When Jesus saw his disciples had departed without him he departed the shore and walked toward them. Here is the account: “And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the…
I am still torn on what to do, there is a huge part of me that doesn’t want to quit, most of all because there isn’t anything else I want to do, at least not nearly as much. I really like computers and I like working on them. I like being able to create with them and most importantly I like knowing how they work. Despite what I said yesterday, I am excited about taking physics and more math. I do really enjoy it. I like knowing how things work and how I can make things work better. I just need…
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us…
Just because you don’t believe in Him doesn’t mean that He doesn’t believe in you. To those of you who are lost and cannot find your way, I am here to tell you that He is here with open arms to love you and believe in you. Just because you have a bad day doesn’t mean you can’t have a good night. Just because you don’t feel loved doesn’t mean you aren’t. Just because someone says nice things doesn’t mean that they are a nice person, they could be lying to you. Just because someone says mean things doesn’t mean…
I have a friend that is going thru what is going to be a pretty messy divorce. She is a great person, who doesn’t deserve this. But simply because she doesn’t deserve to go through it, unfortunately doesn’t mean that she won’t. She is at the beginning of what usually is a life altering event. Her life will never be the same. It could be better or it could be worse, the choice is up to her. I know from personal experience here, approximately 8 years ago I went through a pretty messy divorce myself. It was one of the…
Today is the first day of 179th Semi-Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every six months the church holds a General Conference, this conference is held to build and uplift the Saints. It is much like when Jesus taught the Sermon on the Mount. It is also like when King Benjamin addressed his people in The Book of Mormon. The leaders of our church instruct and teach us principles of the gospel. Like apostles and prophets of old they give us God’s will for our lives for the upcoming time. We sustain the general leadership…

Just as Faith is the first principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ, repentance is the second principle of the gospel. Repentance often gets a bad connotation. It usually is regarded as something painful or otherwise unpleasant. To say that most people aren’t exactly fond of repenting is an understatement. I know that in my life I have to overcome the same negative connotations just like everyone else. The nature of repentance…

There are many misconceptions about faith, although I am by no means the authority on faith I do have a little experience with it. In the world today there seems to be a pervasive attitude that it is okay to not have faith. I’d like to take a closer look at what faith really is: it is simply a belief. It doesn’t have to be big or small, it just has to be. Some people believe they have lost their faith, I…
“Did you ever hear the story about the man who was afraid of lions? Well, he was so scared that he ran and he ran and he ran, and he kept looking behind him to see if a lion was catching up to him. And he looked over his shoulder so much,he didn’t see where he was going. And one day, guess what he ran smack dab into? A lion.”
