A. Armstrong - I Dare You (Official Music Video): http://youtu.be/Oew7D72A54s
The dare is on
To become strong
To reach hard goals
That stretch our souls.
Studying the gospel is like- Catching a double rainbow; Each drop of wisdom reflects light- Hinting there is more to see and know!

Bitter and Sweet
On the corner of bitter and sweet
Is where temptations and our best feats meet
This is the place we truly learn
To walk in meekness and to not turn
Is where temptations and our best feats meet
This is the place we truly learn
To walk in meekness and to not turn
Power
There is power that comes from Christ
We can yoke to to change our lives.
Through the atonement we can act,
Repent, and make a great impact.
He can bear up our burdens with ease
As we rely on His mercy and grace.
Our spiritual traction can increase
Through life's heavy load, as we've faith in place.

Some Things Cant Be Taught
It is okay to pray and plead
To bare your heart and yearn.
Our Father knows our every need
He sent us here to learn.
Things of the spirit can't be taught.
They must be sought out with care.
The Word and fasting helps a lot
To unveil hidden truths to share.
_--------_-----------------------------
Some things cannot be taught
From God, they must be sought.
Line upon line we must learn
To mature and discern.
The Witness
We must come to our own
Witness of the Lord
And share how we've grown
As a saint reborn
Witness of the Lord
And share how we've grown
As a saint reborn

Who Could it Be . . . ? By: SPC Crippen, Joshua Frost
Who was it that carried me and gave me birthAllowing my entry into this beautiful earth?
Who patiently taught me when I was newly bornAnd helped rebuild my feelings when they were torn?
When I learned to walk and my shoes I first tiedWho was always watching over me, staying by my side?
When I was bad and sometimes angrily went to bedWho pointed out all the good I’d done and said?
Who set the example as I dealt with all my strifeEnabling me to deal with the challenges in this mortal life?
Who lifted me up with strength greater than their ownAnd I could always turn to whenever I was alone?
Who was that heavenly angel sent from aboveThat helped me with care and filled me with love?
I know it's someone who could endure and work harder than any otherSo unique, wonderful and one of a kind, my very special Mother.
Joshua Frost Crippen is an army combat medic working in the states at a clinic, pediatrics section. He says he is in heaven :) because the closest thing to heaven are children. This is not his only poem so check the label to see if I have posted more.
Thank you Brother Crippen and thanks to your mother for inspiring this beautiful poem.

You did as you were taught

You Know You Want to Succeed
You know you want to succeed
And manage well, what you do
You hold all the tools you need
To guide you and see you through
You know you want to succeed
And be in charge of yourself
Let the Holy Spirit lead
It is your best source of help
It is interesting that real freedom and success comes from turning our will to God. Then we have liberty as we are free from things that harm our spirit.

The Fence
A group of small kids tried each fence,
To make sure that they were safe.
That all their needs would be met.
The greatest being respect.
Held by guidelines framed in truth
They test to prove all the rules
They push limits in their youth
And feel respect through reprove

Iron it Out
With every doubt
Iron it out
Hold to the rod
And turn to God
"Iron it out" is an idiom. It means work it out.

Perfect
It's a rush to rush
and it's perfect to perfect
To improve so much
that no one will object
...a play on homographs. They are spelled the same but don't mean the same thing or even sound the same.

The Cost—and Blessings—of Discipleship
Let your faith see you through
All that comes your way
In all you say and do
Defend Christ always
In keeping with the Savior’s own experience, there has been a long history of rejection and a painfully high price paid by prophets and apostles, missionaries and members in every generation—all those who have tried to honor God’s call to lift the human family to “a more excellent way.”3“And what shall I more say [of them]?” the writer of the book of Hebrews asks.
“[They] who … stopped the mouths of lions,
“Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, … waxed valiant in fight, turned [armies] to flight …
“[Saw] their dead raised to life [while] others were tortured, …
“And … had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, … of bonds and imprisonment:
“They were stoned, … were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: … wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, [and] tormented;
“([They] of whom the world was not worthy:) … wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” Hebrews 11: 32-38

The Wave
The wave crashed
Like a wall
Its spray splashed
At us all
The boat swayed
It lurched right
We all prayed
And clutched tight
The deck dipped
Like a cup
Water slapped
None looked up
What a thrill
Screams did blend
Then, to still
The ride did end
Why do we pay money and wait in long lines to go on terrifying rides? Hope you are having wondering experiences with your family this summer.

Scriptures Legacy
The records we hold came at a high price
Of painstaking labor and sacrifice
The prophets share with us the words of Christ
For our learning they are filled with His light
Absolute morals do and will exist
Through repentance there is grace to enlist
Of the Atonement the scriptures witness
Offering examples of how to persist
The world teaches:
There are no absolute morals.
Every man prospers according to his genius
and conquers according to his own strength.
Whatever man does there is no crime.
When we die that is the end, thereof.
The Risen Lord Appears to the Apostles
Why let thoughts arise in the heart
That crowd out feelings of peace?
For the Lord is quick to impart
Power from on high to the meek

I am a man
And I demand
My rights to stand
Free on this land
Free to explore
What life is for
To seek for more
That's from the Lord

A Woman that Walks with God
A woman should not mock,
Ostracize, or slander
As with the Lord she walks
In thanks for what God hands her
