   Love!
"Service, to be acceptable to the Savior, must come from willing minds, ready hands, and pledged hearts."
~ President Thomas S. Monson, Ensign, May 1994, 62

Doctrine & Covenants 1: 1-2, 37-39
Hearken, O ye people of my church, saith the voice of him who dwells on high, and whose eyes are upon all men; yea, verily I say: Hearken ye people from afar; and ye that are upon the islands of the sea, listen together.
For verily the voice of the Lord is unto all men, and there is none to escape; and there is no eye that shall not see, neither ear that shall not hear, neither heart that shall not be penetrated.
[...]
Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled.
What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever. Amen.

Doctrine & Covenants 3: 1-3, 10
The works, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught.
For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round.
Remember, remember that it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men;
[...]
But remember, God is merciful; therefore, repent of that which thou hast done which is contrary to the commandment which I gave you, and thou art still chosen, and art again called to the work;

Doctrine & Covenants 4: 2
Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.

Doctrine & Covenants 6: 5-7, 15-16, 23, 36-37
Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive; if you will knock it shall be opened unto you.
Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion;
Seek not for riches but for wisdom, and behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.
[...]
Behold, thou knowest that thou hast inquired of me and I did enlighten thy mind; and now I tell thee these things that thou mayest know that thou hast been enlightened by the Spirit of truth;
Yea, I tell thee, that thou mayest know that there is none else save God that knowest thy thoughts and the intents of thy heart.
[...]
Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?
[...]
Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Amen.

Helaman 5: 47
Peace, peace be unto you, because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world.

Feel free to share your comments and truths that you have learned. Everyone has some truth, so the next part is to gather truth and find a fulness. ^_^

Xihuitl: Equus isn't feeling well tonight. She's becoming ill, because she hasn't been getting her sleep. >.<

Equus: meep

Xihuitl: So she's going to go to bed at a decent time. Right, Equus?

Equus: Yes'm.

Xihuitl: Love to you all, and God be with you. I hope you like the scriptures. We're trying to share truths and help. Pocket hugs and love.

Fact of the day: Dragons and unicorns are two fairly world-wide mythical creatures. However, some seem (to me) to be particular to a region--like the Pegasus and the Phoenix.

(More of a guess of the day than a fact. ^^;)

"When Mike Wallace interviewed President Hinckley some years ago for the television program 60 Minutes, he said, '[People will say] this is a church run by old men.' To this, President Hinckley replied, 'Isn't it wonderful to have a man of maturity at the head--a man of judgment who isn't blown about by every wind of doctrine?' (Discourses of President Gordon B. Hinckley, Volume 1: 1995-1999 [2005], 509). So if any of you think the present leadership is too old to lead the Church, President Hinckley may need to give you some further counsel about the wisdom that comes with age!"
( James E. Faust, "Called and Chosen," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 53)

The Lord loves us all.

When I say something religious, it is to share truth and to try to help. I hope it does.

God be with you in your search in life.
