Be inspired by this video! 

Be motivated to develop your talents!

Elder Gerald Causse

The joyful truth

Of Jesus Christ

Is you are needed

For who you are

In talents and skills

Your heart, your voice 

You've work to fulfill

And life experiences

Rich in differences

Some are born leaders

Some are quick of mind

But all are ministers

Blessing those we find

This video is amazing! Elder Causse, is now one of the Piano Guys! 

Here is what this video reminded me of...

Once, at church, a pianist played an uplifinting melody while Gladys Knight gave her testimony and introduced the story behind the song she was going to sing. It made the song so meaningful. Unique. Touching.

Spir (Breathe) Spiritually Born Again

 

Spir is Latin for breathe

Verse 1]

Home with the Father

Heavenly Father's plan

Provided for moral agency

For Jesus the Savior of man

And our return...God, to see

He, the father of our spirits

Gave us the gift of life... experience

Families, love's special bond given

He knew love would make a difference

Faith verses fear

Love versus hate

Work versus fun

Joy verses pain

Sin, the battle within

Hope in being forgiven

Jesus, the creator, the breath of life

Condescended to the earth

Perfectly lived, taught, and was crucified

And suffered all of man's worst

And endured our darkest places

Even to the depths of Hell

So He could atone and save us

And resurrect us as well

While in this fallen world

Jesus our mediator

Having paid sin's debt...feels pain's worst

And sends out prayers to the Father

For His divine purchase

What love and compassion

Our hopes our doubts in purpose

Our gratitude, our confessions

[Verse 1] Heavenly Father's plan Provided for moral agency For Jesus the Savior of man And our return...God, to see He, the father of our spirits Gave us the gift of life... experience Families, love's special bond given He knew love would make a difference [Pre-Chorus] Faith verses fear Love versus hate Work versus fun Joy verses pain Sin, the battle within Hope in being forgiven Jesus, the creator, the breath of life Leading us back to Heaven [Chorus] Home with the Father Home with the Father There, home and family What love and compassion What love and compassion For eternity [Verse 2] Condescended to the earth Perfectly lived, taught, and was crucified And suffered all of man's worst And endured our darkest places Even to the depths of Hell So He could atone and save us And resurrect us as well While in this fallen world [Pre-Chorus] Jesus our mediator Having paid sin's debt...feels pain's worst And sends out prayers to the Father For His divine purchase Our hopes, our doubts in purpose Our gratitude, our confessions He carries every broken word And turns it into blessing

My Worth Against AI

What I do 

How I perform

Adds meaning

To who I am

Redefined

AI perfects

Aids my  mind

To connect

Still what makes me human

Empathy and faith

Loving care, compassion

Are my best strength

tic-tac-toe, a solved game

has limited moves

in chess, though

the challenge improves

Then, Deep Blue cracked the code

of each endless move it preconceives

Having no need for rest

It became a master

Putting each play to a test

Learning patterns faster

a computer never 

second guesses or self- doubts 

It just grows more clever

Having nothing to worry about 

Jeopardy- it recalls it all

In an instant without pain

The game of go was not small

Yet AI made each step plain

Knowing every move ahead

Man has been defeated

Where each placing led

Previously, it had played

AI can retain more than man

The more it takes it, it can expand

It can predict moves and plan

More, it can pass any exam

This gives us cause to reflect

Today it can create a song

Almost instantly

Paint a picture

Each pixel perfectly

AI is trained to understand

Human feelings and thought

Each tendency at hand

Our opinions it is taught

Our worth is eternal

It can't be calculated

As God's children, we've potential 

AI is a tool, it can't out date us

How much and where should we be in the loop

As AI acts on data it collects

What have we to gain? What have we to lose?

[Verse 1] What I do How I perform Adds meaning To who I am Redefined AI perfects Aids my mind To connect Still what makes me human Isn't just the task It's the way I hold your hand And the way I ask [Pre-Chorus] Empathy and faith Loving care, compassion Are my best strength My first reaction What I gain What I lose Isn't only speed It's what I choose [Chorus] What makes me human What makes me human Empathy and faith What makes me human Not just faster Not just smarter Loving care, compassion What makes me human [Verse 2] tic-tac-toe, a solved game has limited moves in chess, though the challenge improves and moves Then, Deep Blue cracked the code of each endless move it preconceives Having no need for rest It became a master Putting each play to a test Learning patterns faster a computer never second guesses or self-doubts It just grows more clever Having nothing to worry about Jeopardy- it recalls it all In an instant without pain [Pre-Chorus] The game of go was not small Yet AI made each step plain Knowing every move ahead Man has been defeated Where each placing led Previously, it had played But even now I wonder What should stay the same [Chorus] What makes me human What makes me human Empathy and faith What makes me human Not just faster Not just smarter Loving care, compassion What makes me human [Bridge] AI can retain more than man The more it takes it, it can expand It can predict moves and plan More, it can pass any exam This gives us cause to reflect Today it can create a song Almost instantly Paint a picture Each pixel perfectly AI is trained to understand Human feelings and thought Our opinions it is taught But our worth can't be bought [Final Chorus] What makes me human What makes me human Empathy and faith What makes me human AI is a tool It can't outdate us As God's children, we've potential What makes me human Loving care, compassion Still my best strength What have we to gain? What have we to lose?

At the Front Line- Jesus

I the least deserving

Have been blessed from on high

A fresh start beginning 

With feelings I can't deny

Then, what came at me next

Tried to retake my heart

But I belong to Jesus

Not to these fiery darts

Having been washed anew

Unto the Holy Ghost

I received strength to choose

What lifts my heart the most

If I slip or fall, He is there

Atoning for my sins

Blessing me with love so rare

Oft I feel the veil thins

Yes, the spirit is real

I am taught in new ways

That of my past, I heal

Yes, increasing my faith

I get backed up to a wall

Stopped, with no where to go

But I'm not alone, at all

Christ knows and will help me through

 For He walked my path alone

Step by step all my days

For you, for me He did atone

I step in the dark for the path that saves

Ever at the front line

Fighting the battle for lost souls

Jesus, the Life, the Light

The Way, the conqueror to know

[Verse 1] I the least deserving Have been blessed from on high A fresh start beginning With feelings I can't deny Then, what came at me next Tried to retake my heart But I belong to Jesus Not to these fiery darts [Pre-Chorus] Having been washed anew Unto the Holy Ghost I received strength to choose What lifts my heart the most [Chorus] I belong to Jesus I belong to Jesus Not to these fiery darts Not to these fiery darts [Verse 2] If I slip or fall, He is there Atoning for my sins Blessing me with love so rare Oft I feel the veil thins Yes, the spirit is real I am taught in new ways That of my past, I heal Yes, increasing my faith [Pre-Chorus] I get backed up to a wall Stopped, with no where to go But im not alone, at all Christ knows and will help me through [Chorus] I belong to Jesus I belong to Jesus Not to these fiery darts Not to these fiery darts [Bridge] For He walked my path alone Step by step all my days For you, for me He did atone I step in the dark for the path that saves [Final Chorus] I belong to Jesus I belong to Jesus The life, the light, the way The conqueror to know

One Heart Saints- Historically the Same Jesus

Historically

We all worship the same Jesus

Making us Christians

His followers, acting in faith

Seeking His Spirit to be with us

Perceiving, receiving

Reading from His word

Likening His parables

to our individual lives

Patiently, thinking Celestial

Walking in faith, in Him, alive

Living as He would have us

Carrying His light before all

Being fishers of men

praying as He prayed

obeying the commandments of God

Falling short we repent

Growing from the pain

Praying that the atonement

Will remove our earth stains

loving God with all of our heart

our mind and our spirit changed, 

with the Saints, of one heart

submitting to all things 

Willingly doing our part

[Verse 1] Historically we all worship The same Jesus Making us Christians His followers, acting in faith Seeking His Spirit To be with us Perceiving, receiving Reading from His word [Pre-Chorus] Likening His parables To our individual lives Patiently, thinking Celestial Walking in faith In Him, alive Living as He would have us Carry His light [Chorus] One heart, one heart With the Saints One heart, one heart Submitting in faith Fishers of men Praying as He prayed Loving God fully We willingly obey [Verse 2] Before all people We carry His light Being fishers of men On the open road Praying as He prayed Obeying God Falling short, we repent Growing from the pain Praying that the atonement Will remove our earth stains Loving God With all of our heart [Pre-Chorus] Our mind and our spirit Changed by His grace With the Saints, of one heart We stand in His way Submitting to all things Willingly, we give Doing our part Day by day [Chorus] One heart, one heart With the Saints One heart, one heart Submitting in faith Fishers of men Praying as He prayed Loving God fully We willingly obey [Bridge] If I fall, I come back If I drift, He calls Not by strength alone But by mercy strong Teach me again How to live like Him Till my whole life says Jesus is Lord [Final Chorus] One heart, one heart With the Saints One heart, one heart Submitting in faith Fishers of men Praying as He prayed Loving God fully We willingly obey One heart, one heart Till the end of days One heart, one heart We follow His ways

Handprints in the Dust

 

In the beginning, God created the heavens above

the sea below and all else in-between

Everywhere He left evidence of His love

As on all things His handprints can be seen

He put Christ's light on the earth for man

For reflection, reverence, transcendence

As we seek to find our place in God's plan

Present, in awe, we've purpose that connects us

Like a lyrists who writes music to bring the words to life

We can read His words and let them speak to us

Warming our breasts, helping see by lighting our minds

Guiding us along a path paved by Jesus

AI is not and can never be God

For reasoning is not the end all

It can answers question but not prayers

Predict actions and reactions but not care

it can organize thoughts but not give blessings

it can communicate but not perceive

there is no authentic divine human connection

there is no encouragement, faith or belief

AI is math and is not conscious or alive

It is God who is ever omniscient

The spirit and the body are the soul of man

AI cannot rival God and our covenants in the end

God is our Heavenly Father and truly knows us

Our abilities, our needs and wants

the anguish and joy of our souls

He listens He hears and He answers

Though at times He may seem silent

He is allowing us to grow in faith

Verse 1] In the beginning, God created The heavens above, the sea below And all else in-between Everywhere He left evidence of His love As on all things His handprints can be seen [Pre-Chorus] He put Christ's light on the earth for man For reflection, reverence, transcendence As we seek to find our place in God's plan Present, in awe, we've purpose that connects us [Chorus] Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust His love is everywhere His glory leads us there Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust We bow, and we believe He’s nearer than we see [Verse 2] Like a lyrists who writes music to bring the words to life We can read His words and let them speak to us Warming our breasts, helping see by lighting our minds Guiding us along a path paved by Jesus [Pre-Chorus] AI is not and can never be God For reasoning is not the end all It can answers question but not prayers Predict actions and reactions but not care [Chorus] Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust His love is everywhere His glory leads us there Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust We bow, and we believe He’s nearer than we see [Bridge] It can organize thoughts but not give blessings It can communicate but not perceive There is no authentic divine human connection There is no encouragement, faith or belief AI is math and is not conscious or alive It is God who is ever omniscient The spirit and the body are the soul of man AI cannot rival God and our covenants [Final Chorus] Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust God is our Heavenly Father And truly knows us Handprints in the dust Handprints in the dust Our anguish and our joy He hears, and He restores He listens He hears And He answers Though at times He may seem silent He is allowing us to grow in faith

the elements are eternal when inseparably connected

receive a fulness of joy

Faith, Dignity, and Human Flourishing: Hearing God’s Voice in an Age of Artificial Intelligence by Elder Gerrit W Gong episode 2

https://youtu.be/Ts5Z64A0Vv4?si=emSyE0kiSYT6KQ2b

Alma 30: 44 But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.

These are some notes from something I overheard on the radio. It may have been Art Bell

We are made if 50 trillion cells

each with circuitry, voltage 

.07= 3.5 T 

focus that potential

on longevity, resilience, memory, cognition

capacitors

photons of light, communicating

distributed-secured- transparent

self diagnose

self regulate

self actualize

speed of computer chip and the AI

give our humanness away

Mack a Harvard professor

what if alien abduction is 

because aliens want to see the simpler form

the traded biology for technology

merging machines with body

aliens from our own future- please don't

something within us ancient and powerful

wars climates engineered

keep us from 

never get this back

big picture

earth being prepared for a reset

social engineering 

wars depleting our ability 

breaking of social bond

men women blacks whites

ites

adults/children

climate push back 200 years

lose empathy compassion

heal own bodies

reproduce

biforcation-

in their lives bodies in homes

go back to basics

whose happier healthier lives fulfilled

middle ground

live closer to the earth

keep the tech out of our bodies

not replace our own biology

we're on the precipice
