I’m going to try to explain my feelings here the best I can. I was studying the other day and was reminded of a condition that is important to become worthy of entering Zion—the Law of Consecration.
Meme – Our Souls Cry Out
“Our souls cry out: ‘God hasten the day of the coming of thy Son,’ and yet we know that such cannot be. The day is fixed and the hour is set. The signs have been, are now, and will hereafter be shown forth. Our obligation is to discern the signs of the times lest we, with the world, be taken unawares” – McConkie, Millennial Messiah, 405
Meme – In the Book of Mormon
President Benson said, “In the Book of Mormon we find a pattern for preparing for the Second Coming. A major portion of the book centers on the few decades just prior to Christ’s coming to America. By careful study of that time period we can determine why some were destroyed in the terrible judgments that preceded His coming and what brought others to stand at the temple in the land of Bountiful and thrust their hands into the wounds of his hands and feet.” – President Ezra Taft Benson
Too many members rely on a spiritual experience and not their spiritual habits
At church today I heard the following line: “Too many members rely on a spiritual experience and not their spiritual habits.” That was a great line. Don’t ask me whose quote it is… I don’t know. So, what does it mean?
NYNYS Mission – September 19-30, 1996
Wow, the day was interesting. We worked for a while at lunch then worked and visited a member. They fed us about an hour and a half later we had a dinner appointment and ate a lot again. Then taught someone and our last appointment, at Caesars. They fed us again. I couldn’t take it. Every bite was torture to me. I turned to my comp. We need to go. Now! I had to leave, I was going to blow at any moment. When I stood up I knew it was going to happen. I got my bag, but my comp wouldn’t hurry. I stood by the door to the bathroom. I said, “Boy, the food was good.” They were like, “Right, that is why you’re green.” I was like, “Honestly, I loved the food.” Just then my stomach curled and I stepped into the bathroom. I realized I wasn’t going to make it. They were all looking at me. Then all of a sudden as I was moving into the bathroom… blauuugh… my hand went up toward my mouth, but the food shot out of my mouth spewing all over the sink and mirror. I was so embarrassed. [Thinking to myself] I’m like, yeah, the food is good but I just didn’t have enough room for it.
The Holy Bible
I was on social media; I admit I have had a hard time keeping away from it. I was supposed to go on a fast from it and failed. I need to try again. Either way, I came across a post where a pastor was reading from the new “Gen Z” translation of the bible.
Esdras Eagle and President Biden
I am completely convinced that President Biden is the second short feather on the right wing. It is now February 10, 2024 and we are witnessing the continued decline of President Biden. Even through it all the left is holding onto him at all cost. Why?
Brad Wilcox
My two sons are adopted. They are both great boys, but both have their individual challenges. For my oldest son, it was clear pretty early that school was going to be difficult. He was born with an extra measure of energy. So much so he struggled to make it through a single school day. It became clear that the traditional school setting was not for him. When he was in about 3rd grade, he was placed in a special program in School District for all the kids who couldn’t assimilate to traditional learning.

A little reminiscing
I know I have talked about my conversion story a few times on here. I wanted to take a moment to reminisce about a few things I loved at that time. I was continually trying to fill my life with good things. So, I indulged abundantly in these things.
