Nothing Can Replace this Better Side of Me

Even if
I'm left alone
I'll not drift
From where I'm known

Once you have
The Lord in you
His sure path
You've entered to

Only those
Who share this joy
Can suppose
What I enjoy

Family, friends
Through me, please see
Love transcends,
In Christ, newly


I cannot leave
My comfort, guide
Oh, how I'd grieve
For what dwells inside

The Cost—and Blessings—of Discipleship

"Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all."

—Jeffrey R. Holland, "The Cost—and Blessings—of Discipleship"

Played a Fool

More than anyone, Judas knew
What it meant to be played a fool
The weight of his payoff, how it grew
For the sting of remorse is cruel

Choices

Choices make you
In the long run
Weighed down and blue
Or light like you've won

Keep Going

The Savior is there
Offering strength to keep going
Through His loving care
There is support for growing

Wishing Well

Well.  That's a deep subject
For someone with a shallow mind.
Dig a little deeper
Living water you will find.

Panic Prayer Time

Never panic.
You can pray!
Let God handle it
He knows the Way

Woods

I take my deep thoughts to the woods
The coulds, the woulds, and the shoulds
I raise my thoughts to God above
And His light filters down with love

Remember Your Kin

Mal 4:6
The time has fully come
To care for your kin of yore
And make sure their work is done
That we might all return to the Lord

I overheard a conversation that this scripture subject matter is in all the standard works. I need to research this.

Father

You help us on every turn
While giving us room to learn
You are there when we're in doubt
And help us to figure hard things out

Platform

Establish a platform 

Through study and prayer 

Let the spirit confirm 

You hold  light to share

Just the best stuff...

Summarize 

Then wrap it up

Seen through your eyes

Share where you stand

And how you feel?

Let all u understand 

Your thoughts are real!

Don't seek for  fame

Just coach and lead

Share how you came

To see the need

Success

Measure success with your heart
And how you feel inside
Did you overcome something hard?
What light was your guide?

You're a Father

The news broke
After the water
Goodness, bloke,
You're a father

Then the ordinary man became extraordinary. He learned a dependent can change and raise each plan.

Essential Oil

The one true
Essential oil
Can heal you
Because it's royal

Trust in the Answer

See the eagle soar
High above us all?
Seemingly to answer,
"Here I know my call!"

Have you ever felt certain about changes and decisions, but only because you are in a place where you have faith in what is just ahead. You get into a new environment and worry sets in.  Trust and remember when the answer came and you flew with it.

Isaiah 40:31

Verse Concepts

Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.

Preservation

while most slept a battle to save lives went on

Thoughts of family
And your future goals,
As life's founding,
Fills us when we've holes.


“Another man and I packed his wound to stop the bleeding and we kept him conscious by asking him about his family and what he was going to do in the future. I hope we kept him alive.” https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1269999/florida-mass-shooting-biggest-massacre-american-history-fifty-dead-killer-omar-mateen/

I think it is stories like this that help to get through tragedies.  Remember to point a person to hope in the future and remember loved ones.  Of course, the greatest hope we have is our Savior.  Of course, the greatest love comes from God.  Of course, the greatest need is to exercise our gift of choice, our conscience, and to heed the still small voice...

I was also deeply touched to see the scarred policeman's helmet that saved his life.  It's hard to believe just a little while ago people were down on police.  Look at the tremendous courage they have within them.

YOU Don't Have to Be

You don't have to be an expert
Just genuine and wise!
It's Christ alone who is perfect
See others through His eyes!

Don't Beat Yourself Up!

Don't beat yourself up
Because you don't do enough!
Though, at times, you seem to pause,
Keep to the noble cause!

I loved the inspiration from sacrament meeting today.  A sister said prayers and scripture study fell away with the demands of a newborn.  She recognized and missed the added boost this gave her and eventually got back on track.  Lovely family

The Best Time to Plant a Tree

The best time to plant a tree
Was ages ago.
Plant one now. One day you'll see
Fruit filled blessings grow

Best Time to Plant a Tree "An old proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.” Now is the best time to start becoming the person we eventually want to be—not only 20 years from now but also for all eternity." —Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Best Time to Plant a Tree", Ensign, January 2014 I attended American Heritage School of South Jordan Foundations Training. They are ages ahead of our school and we are blessed to have them to see how fruitful we can become. American Heritage Academy of Las Vegas is now of Henderson and we are under construction to become amazing. Both are based on upon a 4o year inspired methodology developed by the Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE), which implements The Principle Approach®. The Utah school is 27 years old and we are 13 years.

Amazing

Spread the word
About Christ
Make Him heard
Be His light

The world needs your voice

More than ever before

Speak of what is choice

Share how you love the Lord

Be like this man,

Once blind, who sees

Through Christ, one can

Spreads joyful seeds

Prove

Prove the Lord
And yourself
Pray. Endure.
Faith does help!
