Noble Birthright - Blog Entry11 Apr 2006 12:13 AM I have to add this quote to this article. I was looking for it further and finally gave up. Of course, that's when I found it. "Every child of God needs to live up to the divine lineage of being a son or daughter of God, created in His image. In a special way, all those who participate in the Abrahamic Covenant must be true to their birthright and calling as servants of the Lord, commissioned to be exemplars of obedience and righteousness in carrying the gospel to the world." Teachings and Commentaries on the Old Testament by Ed J. Pinegar and Richard J. Allen O Blessed Woman - Blog Entry10 Apr 2006 03:10 PM You are most welcome. I had goosebumps as I studied it earlier in the week and goosebumps while I wrote it. Prophetic Promises of Family Home Evening - Blog Entry08 Apr 2006 12:38 PM I found this great quote which I'd like to add to this blog: "I wonder if having unplanned and infrequent family home evenings will be enough to fortify ourselves and our children with sufficient moral strength to meet the complexities of our day. Infrequent family scripture study may be inadequate to arm ourselves and our children with the virtue necessary to withstand the moral decay of the environment in which we live. Where in the world will we learn chastity, integrity, honesty, and basic human decency if not at home? These values will, of course, be reinforced at church, but teaching them in family home evening can be particularly consistent and effective. To combat the world's evil influences, we need the strength that comes from family home evening. . . . "If we go forward with our family home evenings, our homes will be enriched, our wards and branches will grow and prosper, our lives will be purified, and the gates of hell will not prevail against us."

Group Dating vs. Group Outings - Blog Entry08 Apr 2006 12:55 AM You always follow the living prophet - which is purpose of current revelation - for all of us. Miriam is right. Prophetic Promises of Family Home Evening - Blog Entry07 Apr 2006 05:57 PM All great ideas - thank you. I'll certainly take every portion of this comment into account as I plan FHE for my husband and i. LDS Fiction vs. National Fiction vs. Classics - Blog Entry07 Apr 2006 04:50 PM I love to read too. I am also a published author and I agree that there are many great books within our market and a great many who are not. Classics become labeled as such because of time and some labeling them. But Classics teach something -- modern day LDS fiction can be compared to parables, as I heard author BJ Rowley (www.bjrowley.com) say one night as he was speaking at an event. I agree with him. LDS fiction teaches, entertains and enlarges the mind in some way. This is not a bad thing. |
