A Time to Serve
---------------------------------------------------
"Along your pathway of life you will observe that you are not the only traveler. There are others who need your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save."
(Thomas S. Monson, "How Firm a Foundation," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 68)
For the sake of brevity I have not included the entire article which can be found as indicated.
This is what is termed as another one of the false principles that we the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints aka the Mormons aka the LDS Church (non-reformist)(non-polygamist) are taught, by our Prophets, Seers, and Revelators.
This particular quote comes from Thomas Monson who is the First Counselor in the First Presidency of our Church (aforementioned).
It really suprises me that the people who want to drive people away from our church can not seem to counter the teachings of the Prophets, Seers and Revelators of any of the time period with one exception of Joseph Smith Jun. That one was a lesson teaching from Heavenly Father.
Just as Christ asked Peter to walk on the water with Him, a principle was being taught; the same thing happened to Joseph Smith Jun. and today the world testifies of the truth of this Church (aforementioned)by the millions and I will add my testimony of the truthfullness of this church (aforetomentioned), all of its prophets, seers and revelators from it's inception that day in a small hand built cabin when the first four members were finally allowed to release the true church of Jesus Christ in this the latter days.

The lack of moisture in this part of MO is absolutely uncanny. Perhaps it has started. We have anywhere from 3-7" of snow on the ground and so far this weekend we have had two ground/grass fires that melt the snow and just go on around it or over it. I hope and pray that we get water soon for our table is beginning to deplete as Arizona's does. We have not gotten much wash down from IA either this year. Usually we do. It is really strange but not unexpected. Perhaps Mitt Romney will win and he will lift the curse from this dreadful state and the minds of the people here will flood to where they belong and that is not under the curse of the Lord. Or we will all be subject Her majastey Hillary. Sudder the thought.
Well now that the other Missourian will get on TFD and speak of this I am sure. Oh well such is life. They are next on my trip around the stream tonight.
Have a great week and take care my brother in the gospel. Beth.
