Turn To Him

“If you have been tempted to murmur, if you have had doubts that lead to unbelief, if trials seem more than you can bear, turn to Him.” —Elder James B. Martino, “Turn to Him and Answers Will Come”, and


"Prayer, combined with fasting, will provide so that when we “call, … the Lord shall answer; … [and when we] cry, … he shall say, Here I am.”

First Greats

The first great commandment: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.Matthew 22:35-40

The first great truth:

These Hebraisms present themselves at the beginning of the Book of Mormon, the beginning of many.  In your reading look for them?

At Church

I overheard the funniest comment from a sister in our congregation, as she was talking to her neighbor, "You would tell me if I had curly hairs growing from my face".


Then a speaker gave this joke:


There was a doctor, an educator, a minister and boy on a plane.  The plane was ready to crash, and the pilot said that they only had three parachutes for use.  They decided?  The doctor said I will take this one because I can solve medical problems in the world, the educator said I will take this one because I will educate the world .  Then the minister said well the world needs redemption, I will take the final parachute.  “Oh, that will be fine”, said the boy, “I’ll take this one because the educator went out with my backpack”.

Humility

The Lord knew the traditions of King Lamoni.  So did Ammon. The servants presented them before the King because of the King's tradition. Ammon was elsewhere, tending to the King's flocks.

 9 And they said unto him: Behold, he is feeding thy horses. Now the king had commanded his servants, previous to the time of the watering of their flocks, that they should prepare his horses and chariots, and conduct him forth to the land of Nephi; for there had been a greatfeast appointed at the land of Nephi, by the father of Lamoni, who was king over all the land.
