In the lesson, the teacher made the statement that old Biff made to young Biff; “All I have to do is bet on a winner.”

Sacrament Prayer
I had the rare experience of blessing the sacrament with the priests a few weeks back. They ask people to help occasionally when there are not enough priests present. Even then, there are so many active members I think it has been 10 years since I was involved with blessing the sacrament
By small and simple means
I was at work yesterday. My boss, Davis and I were talking to co-worker about a new position they were filling. David shared a quote from I had not hear before “Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast”. I understand the principle, but I really enjoyed how it explained it in terms of this individual learning their new position. As pondered it more, the phase resonated with many things I knew to be true.
NYNYS Mission July 19-23, 1996
At this time, I was in Sunnyside / Woodside Queens. I talk about the airplanes making their approach to LaGuardia over Queens. I mentioned the trains in Brooklyn. My first area in East New York, our chapel was an old gas station converted into the equivalent of a storefront church. The train would pass by and it would be so loud they would need to pause sacrament meeting. That on top of the adjustable microphone that made loud screeching noises each time it was adjusted or moved. And every person who talked needed to adjust the mic.
A Candle Dream
I was interviewing or had just started with a guy when he needed to step out for some reason. I stood and started walking looking around. I came across the weird candle. It was like a short tapered vase with lots of sticks coming out the top, then a big match head on top. It was almost like they took half a box of matches and combined them as one big match head. Stuffed them inside a funny shaped candle vase.
REVIEW – Pastor Jeff Reads 3rd Nephi – Part 2
There was a connection Pastor Jeff made at the [11:45] mark where he found the scriptural foundation for not focusing on the resurrection and not the cross.
He realized that in the bible the phrasing was pre-crucifixion and in the book of Mormon it was post-resurrection. And they were both phrased differently:
Yes, but I am clean.
Then I rushed to what appeared to be a great opening, or door. I knocked and the door opened, and the man who stood there was the Prophet Joseph Smith. He looked at me a little reprovingly, and the first words he said: ‘Joseph, you are late.’ Yet I took confidence and [replied]:
“‘Yes, but I am clean—I am clean!’
How did I do this week? December 10, 2023
So, I have felt mostly in tune with things spiritual, but I did have one strange experience this week. My wife struggles with a condition called trigeminal neuralgia. She developed it after a second bout with shingles. I remember when it first developed. Wow, talk about a difficult time. She was in so much pain she basically closed off the world including me and the kids. This condition started about 10 years ago. Over the last few weeks, she has been expressing that the condition has been “firing.” Firing is her term for it because it relates to how it feels. Sharp bursts of electrical shocks in her face.
NYNYS Mission July 1 to 14, 1996
I turned to my comp and said, there is someone prepared here. It’s either this house on the corner 50-69 or the house with the red-head sitting on the porch. Choose. He chose the red-head . Wow was she prepared. It was so cool.
REVIEW – Pastor Jeff Reads 3rd Nephi
To start, I am very glad that Pastor Jeff had Greg Matson there as he reviewed this book. There are a lot of complex things taking place and Greg is sure to make sure they are understood.
