The Shield

Your armor should be personally, spiritually custom/retro-fitted, steel-plated, masterlocked/hummved to protect ones' heart. A mighty breastplate worn. If you do, then:

4    And they shall also be crowned with blessings from above, yea, and with commandments not a few, and with revelations in their time-they that are faithful and diligent before me. Doctrine & Covenants 59:

Posts

Scripture Man posts are hoped to inspire you, like this applied quote:

Should we not cherish the light posts He has given that guide us through the darkness and the trials of mortality? They mark the way back to our heavenly home! 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Rip experience

Personal journal entries can be boring. Like this one from me today:

"Began chartering for the Troop today. And sat down to review my scoring table duties for the 2015 high school lacrosse season. I did two loads of laundry, and folded one load. I took the kids to their orthodontic appointment. I helped prepared tacos for dinner."

I recommend finding a small notebook, and write periodic entries.  My notebook is a small 3 X 3 size. They come in red, black and blue colors from OfficeMax. These little notebooks fit perfectly in my shirt pocket. Sometimes more inspiring entries come, or even a thought or statement becomes inspirational, "jotting" noteworthy. Like this scripture reference: "I am the bread of life" John 6:35- spoken by Jesus.

Disconnect

Some days are plugs and sockets; just not connecting.

Halloween quote

“The face of sin today often wears the Halloween mask of tolerance. Do not be deceived. Behind that facade is heartache, unhappiness, and pain. You know what is right and what is wrong, and no disguise, however appealing, can change that truth. The character of transgression remains the same. If your so called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow. There’s no friendship more valuable than your own clear conscience, your own moral cleanliness…”

Learning from Church

After hearing the chicken and eagle story:

You are not born as a chicken, but as an Eagle to soar.

We should seek and live this scripture:

33 And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me. (Book of Mormon, Moroni, Moroni 7)

And live this quote by Elder Nelson:

"Our sustaining of prophets is a personal commitment that we will do our utmost to uphold their prophetic priorities. Our sustaining is an oath-like indication that we recognize their calling as a prophet to be legitimate and binding upon us."

Two, Rip Experience

I was asked to present the High Priest discussion on The Resurrectiom- April 2014 Elder Christofferson today. I was asked on Friday. I prayed and pondered about this opportunity, that all would go well. I felt good of my preparation. I prayed that my preparation would affirm to me that the outcome of the lesson would be as the Lords will and witness to those attending. After the meeting, I thanked the Lord for what I felt was affirmation of my desire.
