   Stuff!
God wants you to:
-come unto Him
-know Him
-have faith in Him

No matter what you do, say or think, the Lord will never stop loving you!

(from a paper given me in a class)

"In a world of unrest and fear, political turmoil and moral drift, I testify that Jesus is the Christ--that He is the living Bread and living Water--still, yet, and always the great Shield of safety in our lives, the mighty Stone of Israel, the Anchor of this His living Church. I testify of His prophets, seers, and revelators, who constitute the ongoing foundation of that Church and bear witness that such offices and such oracles are at work now, under the guidance of the Savior of us all, in and for our very needful day."
~Jeffrey R. Holland, "Prophets, Seers, and Revelators," Ensign, Nov. 2004, 9

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

(Can you imagine such love, from both of Them, to do that?)

Doctrine & Covenants 90:2-4
Therefore, thou art blessed from henceforth that bear the keys of the kingdom given unto you; which kingdom is coming forth for the last time.
Verily I say unto you, the keys of this kingdom shall never be taken from you, while thou art in the world, neither in the world to come;
Nevertheless, through you shall the oracles be given to another, yea, even unto the church.

(to the Prophet Joseph Smith, and appropriately to any prophet of the Lord our God)

Fact of the day:
Some Australian Shepherds are born with naturally docked tails--stubby tails.

I like Tails...

Anywho, have fun, people!

Love, and God be with you. Hugs and pocket hugs!

Equus: Well, I know it's been a while, but here I am to tell you all how things are going on my farm...castle...thing.

Xihuitl: Equus did turn her little house into a miniature castle, but the family's been growing, too, with all the clones.

E: Uh-huh. Everyone's mentioned in the introduction, but I will tell you that we were recently joined by Kakashi #4. We are also looking at getting another clone...but we don't want the other clones to know about that yet, especially the who or why.

X: Kakashi #4 is a great addition to our family. He brought all his dogs with him.*

E: Puppies!


X: Equus likes puppies. ^^; But hi, Kakashi #4.*

Kakashi #4: Hello.

X: Kakashi #4 came from our friend Night Shade2. Thank you, Night Shade2. (bows) Kurama-clone is in the kitchen right now making hot cocoa, so feel free to get some. It's snowing. And Kyo-clone is hiding somewhere, probably in his room with a fire going.

E: Yep. And by the way, Haru-clone currently lives in a room in the barn. It was his choice. I think he enjoys being near the animals. They rather like him, too.

Haru-clone: Miss Equus?

E: Haru-chan! (she squees) Hi. What's up?

Haru-clone: (looks around as if unused to the place) I found something unusual in the barn.

E: Really? What?

Haru-clone: Well...here's one of them...I think he's hurt.

What is Haru-clone's mysterious find?

Clues: They leave cloven hoofprints, about this -- long. They eat alfalfa, roses, and other rich or dainty plants. They don't eat thistles or nettles. They apparently bed down in the grass, and these nests are only a few inches long, at the most. They have left strands of fine, cobweb-like, brightly colored hair behind, snagged on rose thorns. Equus is currently sketching Haru-clone's find, while it's sleeping. She'll try to have the pic up by next week. ^_^

Real disciples absorb the fiery darts [...] by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the rod with the other...There should be no mistaking; it will take both hands!"
~Neal A. Maxwell
(The rod being the rod of iron, the word of God, which leads to eternal life, the love of God.)

Alma 41:10
Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness.

Moses 1:39
For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Doctrine & Covenants 84:73,79,89
But a commandment I give unto them, that they shall not boast themselves of these things, neither speak them before the world; for these things are given unto you for your profit and for salvation.
[...]
Behold, I send you out to prove the world, and the laborer is worthy of his hire.
