oh right, EASTER!

Woo!  It's been blessedly busy.  We've been meeting new neighbors, passing on prom dresses, enjoying new teachers, rejoicing in children that say a kind word regarding their parents, rubbing shoulders with each other as we meet and cookie in the Women's General Session and clean side by side using too much Comet.  We are busy preparing for more General Conference Sessions and celebrating Easter in our own individual, family and friends' ways.  In all of this excitement and busy-ness, remember to love:  Love God, Love Neighbor.  Love Self.  Love. 




Charity On!

I Wish I Could Repent More!

Today's instructor said, when you pray and try to seek to be like Christ you will get things given to you like knowledge to comfort and strengthen you. But you also get chastened!  Don't worry, that is as appropriate an answer to the prayer and it is designed, like the other answers, to promote our happiness.  It is all the Plan of Happiness.








We need to bear in mind that PEOPLE CAN CHANGE.  President T. S. Monson charges that we must develop the capacity to see others, not as they are at present, but as they may become when they receive testimonies of the gospel of Christ. The last point in the lesson was that this change is often gradual and subtle.  Sure, each standard work has a dramatic example of dramatic change: that gives us confidence in the power to change. But often we are less dramatic; like the 3rd Nephi Lamanites whose quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment who the Lord said, "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not." 3 Ne 9:20

“The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums. 

The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.”


― Ezra Taft Benson


We have every reason for a great hope because we have a God on our side.
This week's study leads us to meditate on that great Reason for our Hope as we discuss next week (Click here for Teachings of Presidents of the Church- EZra Taft Benson Lesson 6: ) Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Redeemer.

Study well, Do well, Be well.
