My journey to become worthy to enter Zion.
I would like to take a moment to talk about forgiveness.
My niece is pregnant!
Pregnancies are life events that fill us with joy. They are like gifts sent down from God. Unfortunately, they are not looked at that way by the world when they are inconvenient or unplanned. I’m going to do my best to tread lightly as I talk about this.
I feel as though I just pound my way through every week. By the time I get to the weekend I feel battle warn. There has been so much focus on just getting through life that when I pull up this blog and start to self-reflect on the week I can see I could have done better. I fasted and prayed this week. I listened to scriptures, conference talks, and other things. Either way, I still feel as though nothing really happened. I basically only feel a week older.
Brief expressions of gratitude for John, Jeff, Scott, and Adam
Sex and Abortion are plagues in New York City. From the number of people who live out of wedlock, to the number who have illegitimate children, to those who have lots of illegitimate children with lots of different people, to those who abort all their pregnancies. I talked to so many women that had abortions. Most I dealt with were unable to get baptized. I haven’t gotten to it yet, but the worst I was saw was a mother and two daughters who we were going to baptize, then we found out that between the three of them, if I remember right, they had 20-30 abortions. It’s hard to imagine.
I was on facebook and came across this. It is fitting for this blog as I am seeking to be worthy to enter Zion.
This is a 2-part series given in Mount Pleasant on Jan 13, 2024. They include a few things that I have not heard Morgan share. I must say I am very impressed with everything that Morgan has found. At this point in my life, I would say I have not […]
This blog is about my spiritual quest to be “Worthy of Zion” I have taken the liberty to talk about a few other things, some doctrinal and some reviews. Honestly, I’m not a huge reader. So, if I can watch or listen that is a big plus. I have really enjoyed a few things lately. It’s not so much that I think any one of them are right, more than I really like the topics and the way they present them.
This is going to be interesting. The talk given by Elder Oaks was marvelous. I absolutely loved it. But, how will Pastor Jeff take it? I can see it rubbing him wrong in a few places. He has hinted time and time again that this doctrine rubs him wrong because in his eyes it conflicts with the bible.
Well along with many blessings comes humbling. I have the runs again. I had them bad for 3 days now. We just finished eating at a member’s house and had to hurry to a baptism. We were walking towards his house, I was with [Elder], my comp was with [Elder] at his house. We were 3 blocks from his home and it hit me. I had to go like lightning. All there were were buildings and fences. I ran up to a house and beat on the door. They didn’t come so I ran up to the other, nothing. I couldn’t hold it any longer. I was humiliated. Well, life goes on. I just hope my accident doesn’t ruin me by becoming part of the grapevine [gossip]. So, I ran home so nobody would see and took a shower then we hurried to the church. The baptism was so cool.
There are a lot of things I like about Morgan Philpot. There are a few things that make me scratch my head, but they are outnumbered by the really impressive things he shares. I get there is a lot of speculation as to how things fit together, but there are […]
