Sunday Morning (Easter)

The building of temples is a clear indication of the church's growth.

We leave behind the world and it's obsessions and find the peace of the Lord in the temple.

Why is Easter important? Mostly because of the covenants that bestow peace that we will not ever truly be seperated from loved ones.

You have enough. And will have things that can be held on to.

(As you are concerned for your children do you not figure your parents feel similarly for you?)

Hold fast to what you already know and wait to get more.

The Joy promised through the acceptance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ does not proclude trials.

Challenging circumstances help increase our joy.

Our habits and choices online reflect our level of comittment.

We can instantly be transported to not actually "be" where we are with new technology.

Life is not constrained to a 4inch screen.

Seeing and not seeing is like how we can live in a location our whole lives but not ever see the local attractions because we take them for granted.

We can see a miraculous thing and then get so lazy that we fail to see or feel important things around us.

Do we enjoy the priveledges of our efforts, will there be more?

When the spirit is with us, it sharpens our senses.

If not renewed strongest testimonies can dwindle.

People loose their way.

Prodigal son asks for his inheritance and to leave, in this parable his father let him go.

We need to let them go if that is their will.

Although we cannot embrace so many choices we can still do what we can. We must wait and watch, but never stop hoping!

Like Lehi's dream, souls are lost because they loose grip of the iron rod.

All of us are lost, so we are only joining them and sharing what we have.

Prayed that his brother would make it home by himself.

He was saved at the last minute by his brother. But, the guy was willing to give up his life and was sure it was over when he failed.

We cannot understand or properly celebrate Easter or Christmas without Adam.

Though we might try we cannot understand the mysteries of God with our finite minds.

No matter what we do we will not be able to earn the means to pay for our sins although justice requires such.

Heavenly Father's expectations are much more grand than we can even imagine. To achieve such to be forgiveness is not enough.

We cannot purchase the grace of God through our goodness or works, but we naturally want to do works because we have a deep love for our Father in Heaven.

After all we can do. How do we even know that we have done all that we can do? (another talk said that there is always something to grasp) so, wouldn't it make ever gaining help impossible?
