Twelve Things that I am thankful for (or at least sharpen me) in “Bloggernacle”, an internet LDS subculture

Hmmm . . . . let’s see . . .

1. Jacob and Geoff allowing some of my first comments in bloggernacle (more…)

1. The KJV Bible (more…)

I woke up from a hellish nightmare.

It is 1:28 a.m.

I found this prayer and made it my prayer to my God.

1. Missionary church planters, pastors, and churches (more…)

1. Christians
2. The people of the community (one of the nicest civil communities in America)
3. The library
4. The bookstores
5. The culture’s stance on moral family issues
6. The mountains, forests, meadows, and lakes nearby for hiking and camping
7. The potatoes (anyway they come – baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, hash browns, French fries, potato chips, etc.)
8. The River (and all its habitat)
9. The restaurants
10. The bike trails
11. (Oh, and I have to throw in one more)  The snow

1. You use to love God.
2. You have forgotten God.
3. You now have forsaken God for vanity.
4. You lust after the desires of your own heart.
5. You now teach the wicked how to be even more evil.

(Isn’t this what Yahweh is saying through the mouth of Jeremiah in chapter 2?)

Here’s the school’s recent statement.

I highly respect the administration of my alma mater for writing this.

He shared these words last week on the Gospel for the BYU-I devotional:

If you are asking yourself where to begin, I would suggest using the Church’s guide to missionary service, entitled Preach My Gospel.  This inspired guide is a wonderful personal scripture study plan as well as a missionary guide.  Chapter 3 of Preach My Gospel contains five lessons, “The Message of the Restoration,” “The Plan of Salvation,” “The Gospel of Jesus Christ,” “The Commandments,” and finally “Laws and Ordinances.”  These five lessons contain a total of 42 basic gospel principles.  Thirty-five of these principles need to be taught to investigators before they are eligible for baptism.  The investigators not only need to understand the principles, but they also need to live them prior to baptism.  It seems it would be appropriate for us as members to understand these same basic gospel principles and the corresponding scriptures that support them.  The gospel principles and associated scriptures found in chapter 3 of Preach My Gospel would make a wonderful personal study plan.

Wow.  Thirty-five principles?  What are they again?

And listen to his definition of the Korihors in today’s culture:

So who are the Korihors of today?  I submit that they are anyone or anything that would entice you to stray from the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life.

We named our youngest son after this prophet – Micaiah Todd Wood.

Meditate this week on the excellent word, the omnipotent hand, and the all sufficient grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in this eloquent hymn.
