Mercy

We rely on history books to inform us of any past events before we were born. To truly understand the past before us, we also rely on honest people to tell the tale or we must receive an inspired retelling of events from heaven.   From accurate scriptural stories and inspired retellings, it’s clear that God’s people must continually and faithfully serve Him to merit His blessings and divine justice in their favor. If they do not, God  stirs  up the people in a way that causes them to remember Him.  This is abundantly clear. Example after example has been given to us. So much so that I’ve been humbled and made to fear (in the right sense of the word) the Lord God.  For example: “So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed. And there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men. And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord said unto him, Stop now your hand, it is enough; for the people rep

Repent

The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever.  Despite what the many false and foolish teachers say, we actually have to obey Him and walk in His ways continually. Nothing less will bring us the satisfaction we (and the Lord God) seek.  Doing what He asks - precisely how He asks - is how we follow Him and become like Him. And if we want to be where He is, we must seek to be like Him.  “The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all his judgments were before me, and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity. Therefore, the Lord has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his eyesight.” - 2 Sam 10:6 There are many reasons to think otherwise. There are enough voices in our own lives that try and justify why the countless

Our own Judges

 “Publish it for the people to read. Then, have the voice of the people determine if they will accept it as my Covenant, as they will be judged by their voice on this matter. Once the voice of the people has been heard, if they accept it let it be your Covenant version to guide you.” We still might think God, as Judge, looks at us down His nose, wagging a finger. But truly any blessing we obtain is by His grace and our obedience - and so we   are our own judges.   Here’s an example: “And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods. For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up, and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed. And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites who dwelled in the land; therefore will we also serve the Lord, for he is our

Prophecy is meant to be understood after the fact, but studying beforehand is very valuable. It shows our interest and points our minds in the right direction. We learn many things in the process. Oct 27, around 10:15am MT, is apparently an important time. Here’s an image to ponder until more information is given.  That planet in the middle of Libra is Mercury, which Adrian informed us is planet of communication. There are other things I noticed about this snapshot, but would be greatly benefited if other people shared their insights, as well.  “ Publish it for the people to read. Then, have the voice of the people determine if they will accept it as my Covenant, as they will be judged by their voice on this matter. Once the voice of the people has been heard, if they accept it let it be your Covenant version to guide you.”

If I could share my understanding of what a symbol means, I would simply say: it’s a window.  All of them are. But more than a window’s view into something or somewhere else, it’s always a window into your own soul - what you are or what you’re not.  You gain a greater view or understanding of the symbol only by greater repentance.

The Littlest Cross

  The Littlest Cross By Fr. Jeremy Once there was a man who felt his difficulties, sorrows, temptations, and troubles were far too much for him. He cried out to God about the unfairness of his life, and demanded to be relieved of his cross. One day, our Lord Jesus appeared to him and asked, “Do you wish to receive a different cross?” The man quickly nodded, so our Lord said, “Follow me.” They spiritually ascended the heights, flying toward a massive Cross, the one true Cross that our Lord bears upon His shoulders; a Cross so great that it fills the entire cosmos and bears the weight of all creation. Upon this great Cross, in a tiny corner on a little speck of an edge of a splinter, there is a room that our Lord and the man entered. Inside the small room were many crosses of various shapes and sizes. Some crosses were heavily splintered and some had thorns poking in every direction. “Everyone who follows me must bear their cross,” the Lord said. “But for you, I will let you pick whateve

Fall Equinox 2024

Yesterday was the Fall Equinox - a time of scales, balance, harvest, and descent, among other things. To celebrate the day, I was humbled to scale the top of Sunset Peak with a group of good men just minutes before Sunrise. Here's another interesting image of scales to consider. . . Joseph received the golden plates twice: once on September 22nd, 1827, and then again exactly one year later, on September 22nd, 1828.  The first harvest of the golden record in 1827, unfortunately, ended in an abortion of sorts nine months later when the 116 pages and translation relics were lost and taken around June 14th, 1828. You could say that tipped the scales of Joseph’s scripture project  downward . The second harvest of the record, thankfully, ended in the successful birth of the Book of Mormon we know and love today. The translation was finally completed - again, nine months later - in June 1829 after getting the plates a second time from the previous September. This tipped the scales back up
