samll and simple.

What are some of the biggest thing that happen in your life?

for me its the small things.

1.  Waking up in the morning.    What better way to start the day then to wake up . Imagine if we  could not wake up,  what it be like?.   I bet it would be boring and well we would probably be dead.
2. after a really hard day coming home praying and letting  God know about my day, the good and the bad.
3.  defiantly my bike. it has got 2 wheels,  brakes, peddles ( I wounder what would a bike be with out  peddles) handle bars and tires.
4. the  clouds in the sky. the big ones and small ones and the ones that look like bunnies.
5. my scriptures.  and the knowledge I get from reading, and the insight about Christ. and how his teachings changes people life's.
6. You and the time that you spent reading my blog.   I'm  really am grateful for you time.

Take a look at this sign. 


 What does it mean to you?




Now imagine it was Christ telling you.  



What does it mean to you now?












22 And now, behold, if Adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen, but he would have remained in the garden of Eden. And all things which were created must have remained in the same state in which they were after they were created; and they must have remained forever, and had no end.     





                                        what would that be like?

 23 And they would have had no ^achildren; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no ^bjoy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no ^csin.

  24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who ^aknoweth all things.

  

 God does know what he is doing.  and he loves us.  He Loves you.  You are his child 

He wants you to have Joy.

25 ^aAdam ^bfell that men might be; and men ^care, that they might have ^djoy.

  

26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are ^credeemed from the fall they have become ^dfree forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the ^elaw at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.

what is ?  or what is not? 


and if it is, is it true or a lie?     



                                     How Can We Find out?






 I am glad that Christ came to minister and heal all who come to him.  some times  we may be like that womon. we seek for something more out of life and want to fill voids with any thing that we can.  food. sugar, soda,  over eating,  drugs  drinking away the pain, X-box W.O.W.    But no matter how much  we drink  we will never be filled;   our drink never lasts!

      
 how log will we stay looking for wooden nickels how long will we do the things that lead to sadness?

So how do we tell if   something is true?  

   well  the first step is to actually  believe Christ.

John 3 16- 17. 

Came not to condemn... but  to save from sin. 


In my journey I have realized that following Christ really takes work, hope, and a desire to  always come back to choosing what is right, admitting  faults and trying to get better.
 there have been some days where i get up and my first thought is "OGH.  why to day Why do I need to work?  
with all the choices we have in life, cant I just chose the one that looks  good.  like drinking and drugs and porn. it looks good and it seems fun. right?
   
  what about being honest and working and living to be the best I can be?  how do I do that?

HOW CAN I tell what Is true?  how can I tell what will bring me the most happiness.


If you have thoughts like these do what  the Scriptures say  Follow thou me.Christ is the way his example leads to happiness

 I know that every time I have followed his way and thought like Him . I'm Happy I   have peace and  joy.

I also know the times I think I  know best, I have fun for a while but its not peaceful and I don't have a lasting joy. (my drink leaves me hungry)

So I  ask  what is keeping you from being Happy?     What are you willing to do to find Lasting joy?
 and consider this

 20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a ^asteadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of ^bhope, and a ^clove of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and ^dendure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have ^eeternal life.

 21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the ^away; and there is ^bnone other way nor ^cname given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the ^ddoctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the ^eFather, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is ^fone God, without end. Amen.

 ` ( book of Mormon 2nephi 31 20-21)

well today was short but long.

I started to understand how praying and going to work, help focus  attention on other people, their needs and concerns, over my own.

 What I teach is that God Is our loving Heavenly Father and he wants to hear from us.
 he loves us so much that he gave us his Only Begotten Son.


why did he do this?   why did he send Jesus Christ?

We all run int to trouble and we all get hurt.   but how many story's get made by getting hurt.?




lots...    take some time to remember a few good ones.

   we have stories and some are good to look back on and remember laugh and giggle about. some we may cry about because they are so funny. then comes the ones that we think I wish I didn't do that! I wish I could forget it and not remember... 

so some of those memory's brings up a questions, why does God let me fall and pick me up. then let me fall again.  we some times may ask the question's why me? what did I do? and maybe even, does God really love me?
