Our Melting Pot

Blazing a trail
With a melting pot.
Sometimes you fail
Like it or not.

Ladybug

Ladybug, ladybug,
You're welcome, always.
The flowers are blooming
And I want them to stay!

I just heard that eenie meany miny moe is racial in origin. Isn't it wonderful that someone altered it so the catchy choice making phrase can become innocent of harm?  Well I just thought I would alter Ladybug ladybug your house is on fire and your children will burn. Not exactly friendly!

Feeling Blessed

How good it feels to have what you need
And to be blessed with even more
Give thanks and pay it forward, indeed
For then, Heavenly blessings are in store

Judgment

Our words, works, and thoughts 
Will judge us in the end. 
For we have been taught
And warnings God did send!

It is not what we have done
That will prepare us for "that day".
It is by what we have become-
How we have changed along the way. 

Alma 12:14 we shall not be found spotless;...and in this awful state we shall not dare to look up to our God.
#ElderDallinHOaks:"From such teachings we conclude that the Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts-what we have done. It is acknowledgement of the final effect of our acts and thoughts- what we have become." 2010 conference 

Troubled

Oh afflicted heart
Troubled, in need
Remember thou art
Favored indeed!

Before the day grows long
Send fears away
Fill up your soul with song
Look up and pray

Have You Ever

Have you ever heard someone's story and marvel how they have 'kept it all together' physically,  emotionally. Spiritually? 
The journey is long
And laborious, indeed!
One has to be strong
To let the Lord teach and lead.

Becoming a Disciple

Our words, works, and thoughts 
Will judge us in the end. 
For we have been taught
And warnings God did send!

It is not what we have done
That will prepare us for "that day".
But of what we have become-
How we have changed along the way. 

Alma 12:14 we shall not be found spotless;...and in this awful state we shall not dare to look up to our God.

Wrong

A new wrong
Doesn't correct the first
Before long
The matter is but worse

Each has a moral compass
To cultivate and heed
The conscience points north for us
To correct our paths, in-deed
