Fly in the Face of Providence. (To). To act rashly, and throw away good opportunities; to court danger. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable , E. Cobham ...

To fly in the face of providence
Is to get wrapped up in sin
To disavow warning's evidence
And seek the favor of men

To act rashly and throw to the wind

All that uplifts to descend

To proudly court with danger

To not care who you endanger

[Verse 1]

To fly in the face of providence

Is to get wrapped up in sin

To disavow warning's evidence

And seek the favor of men

[Pre-Chorus]

When pride would have me hurry on

And turn from what is true

Let mercy stop my wandering feet

And lead me back anew

[Chorus]

Keep my heart from choosing danger

Keep my hands from harm I cause

Teach me love that sees my neighbor

Teach me reverence for Thy laws

When I stumble, when I stray

Call me back into Thy way

[Verse 2]

To act rashly and throw to the wind

All that uplifts, to descend

To proudly court with danger

To not care who you endanger

[Pre-Chorus]

A careless word can wound a soul

A selfish step can scar

So make me mindful, make me kind

And guard others to soar

[Chorus]

Keep my heart from choosing danger

Keep my hands from harm I cause

Teach me love that sees my neighbor

Teach me reverence for Thy laws

When I stumble, when I stray

Call me back into Thy way

[Bridge]

Give me courage to heed the warning

Give me patience to turn around

Let the strength I seek be humble

Let compassion shape my ground

[Final Chorus]

Keep my heart from choosing danger

Keep my hands from harm I cause

Teach me love that sees my neighbor

Teach me reverence for Thy laws

When I stumble, when I stray

Call me back into Thy way

[Outro]

Call me back into Thy way

Verse 1] To fly in the face of providence Is to get wrapped up in sin To disavow warning's evidence And seek the favor of men [Pre-Chorus] To act rashly and throw to the wind All that uplifts to descend [Chorus] To proudly court with danger To not care who you endanger A borrowed crown, a brittle throne A fall that you will face alone [Verse 2] You heard the bell before the storm You saw the fault beneath the stone Still traded shelter for applause And called the consequence your own [Pre-Chorus] To act rashly and throw to the wind All that uplifts to descend [Chorus] To proudly court with danger To not care who you endanger A borrowed crown, a brittle throne A fall that you will face alone [Bridge] When every warning turns to dust And every witness turns away What good is favor built on fear When those you risked must pay? [Final Chorus] To proudly court with danger To not care who you endanger The height you claimed, the ground you chose The reckoning is yours alone [Outro] The reckoning is yours alone

Now We Lay You Down to Sleep

Though your time here was so small
You left an imprint on this earth.
Ever in my heart I recall
The love I felt from the first.

My sweet infant, how you tried
To survive with every breath.
And with your last... how I cried
Made lonely by your death

Now we lay you down to sleep
To be with God on high
Unto the angels for watch keep.
And it is not goodbye!

For one last picture, here you wear
This sweet and precious gown
Made with love and tender care;
As now, with God, we lay you down.

The final kiss
The last touch
No, I insist
This is too much!

But trust I must
And I let you go
Unto God, thus
His love to know!

Let Him Shape Your Heart

Be of good cheer

And do not fear

The Lord is near

Give Him your ear

Let Him speak to you

In your heart and mind

Search His words anew

Such love you will find!

Let Him shape your heart

And expand your soul

From Him, truth imparts

In joy and sorrow

This gift, freely share

To lift, He does care

Yes, He is aware

Pray. Ask. He is there!

He has overcome

All awful moments

Each pain... He has won

Love's reach to all opens

Let Him to and through you

Seek the Spirit, begin

Express gratitude

And testify of Him

Verse 1] Be of good cheer And do not fear The Lord is near Give Him your ear [Pre-Chorus] Let Him speak to you In your heart and mind Search His words anew Such love you will find [Chorus] Let Him shape your heart And expand your soul From Him, truth imparts In joy and sorrow [Verse 2] This gift, freely share To lift, He does care Yes, He is aware Pray.

The Gift of Testimony

Elder Gérald Caussé

Eighteen years ago, Valérie and I received a telephone call from President Thomas S. Monson, during which he called me to serve as a General Authority Seventy. We accepted in faith, knowing that this calling would profoundly change the course of our lives.

The next morning, as I prayed for comfort and guidance, I felt prompted to open a copy of the Liahona magazine lying on our kitchen table. Almost immediately, my eyes found this reassuring promise from the Lord: “Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ.”

That scripture brought peace to my heart. I realized that my primary responsibility was simply to bear witness of the Savior. Everything else would be in His hands.



A Precious Gift from God

The gift of testimony is deeply personal. It is received in the intimacy of our relationship with God and shaped according to our unique experiences, circumstances, and needs. It grows through faith, earnest seeking, gospel living, and the quiet influence of the Holy Ghost. Truly, “to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” is one of life’s greatest blessings and a precious gift from God.

John 16:33

New Testament


33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Doctrine and Covenants 68:6

Doctrine and Covenants


6 Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.

Adoption- Abortion- Right to Life

I watched about special video about adoption.  One part discussed abortion and was interviewing women on both sides.  I loved what one said.  We will go to war to protect lives and freedom but some women will not lay down their lives for nine months to protect the life of their unborn child, which they then can put up for adoption.



Can you lay down your life,
For just nine months?
Let the babe stay alive.
Think of his wants!



Adoption is a beautiful thing!
