   Updating...finally ^_^
"Our foundation is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The authority of the holy priesthood is here, restored under the hands of those who received it directly from our Lord. The curtains have been parted, and the God of heaven and His Beloved Son have spoken to the boy prophet Joseph in opening this last and final dispensation.
"Our burden in going forward is tremendous. But our opportunity is glorious."
"Becoming Our Best Selves", President Thomas S. Monson, Liahona and Ensign, April 2006, 2–6Gordon B. Hinckley, "Opening Remarks," Ensign, May 2005, 6

"Having died, [Jesus Christ] might have been forgotten, or, at best, remembered as one of many great teachers whose lives are epitomized in a few lines in the books of history.
"Now, having been resurrected, He became the Master of life. Now, with Isaiah, His disciples could sing with certain faith, 'His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace' (Isaiah 9:6)."
"The Symbol of Our Faith," Ensign, Apr. 2005, 5

Exodus 33: 11
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Doctrine and Covenants 84: 63
And as I said unto mine apostles, even so I say unto you, for you are mine apostles, even God’s high priests; ye are they whom my Father hath given me; ye are my friends;

"If our hearts are right before God, adversity will school us, help us overcome our carnal nature, and nurture the divine spark within us. Were it not for adversity, we would not know to 'choose the better part'
("Father in Heaven, We Do Believe," Hymns [...] 180). Adversity helps us see where we need to repent, to bring into subjection baser instincts, to embrace righteousness and enjoy 'peace of conscience' (Mosiah 4:3)."
Keith B. McMullin, "Be Prepared . . . Be Ye Strong from Henceforth," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 11

Doctrine and Covenants 93:45-46
Verily, I say unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., or in other words, I will call you friends, for you are my friends, and ye shall have an inheritance with me—
I called you servants for the world’s sake, and ye are their servants for my sake—

Doctrine and Covenants 110:14-16
Behold, the time has fully come, which was spoken of by the mouth of Malachi—testifying that he [Elijah] should be sent, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord come—
To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse—
Therefore, the keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands; and by this ye may know that the great and dreadful day of the Lord is near, even at the doors.


Heavenly Father is our God and wishes to show us the way to Him, to live eternally with Him and our family and friends. That way is through Jesus Christ, who's Atonement and Resurrection for us we celebrate every spring. Believe and trust in Them. It is worth it--peace of mind in this life, salvation in the next. This is God's true Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Believe, and have joy. As They love us, love Them, each other, and yourself. In my Lord Jesus Christ's holy name, amen.

Fact of the day
Border collies can have one of three types of coat. The smooth-coated BC has shorter hair, and the rough-coated BC has longer hair. There is also a medium coat, which can be called rough. Maybe it can be called smooth, though, if it isn't that long. :D

(Help for this fact of the day came from Equus's mom. ^_^)

Update

Equus: Kyo-clone and Kakashi-clone have finally completed their map. As soon as I can pry it away from them, I'll show it to you guys.

Xihuitl: It's very impressive. They mapped the whole farm. At least, everything a human can find.

Equus: And yes, Refi-chan, our guest tried to get through a crack in the wall. He's very small....Haru-clone found a bunch of them in the barn, and he was the last one to try to get out. The others escaped. We've been looking for them, but...

Xihuitl: By the name, he says his name is Emraulde.

Equus: Yes, he can talk vocally and telepathically. His voice is very high-pitched and tiny, but his thoughts move so fast that they're hard to figure out.

Xihuitl: You're a human. I understand him.

Equus: How? You're a draft horse. He's--

Kurama-clone: Miss Equus, Have you seen everyone else? It's dinner time.

Equus: Aw, you made dinner? Thank you! *glomps Kurama-clone* That's perfect, because Sano's coming tonight. And he hasn't met Emraulde yet. Don't worry, everyone, I'll post a picture of the little guy soon!

Xihuitl: Yes, she is trying to make you guess what he is. He has cloven hooves and green hair. He loves delicate and rich food, and he dislikes anything too bristly. He is a fun little guy.

Equus: I thought you didn't like him.

Xihuitl: ^^; I'll go ring the dinner bell.

John 6:37, 39-40
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 17: 9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father hath given me.

And again I say unto you, my friends, for from henceforth I shall call you friends, it is expedient that I give unto you this commandment, that ye become even as my friends in days when I was with them, traveling to preach the gospel in my power;

Doctrine & Covenants 88: 62
And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, I leave these sayings with you to ponder in your hearts, with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall call upon me while I am near—

Verily, I say unto my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., or in other words, I will call you friends, for you are my friends, and ye shall have an inheritance with me—

Love from me and from above! And pocket hugs. ^_^ Glomps.
