Upcoming Election Prompts LDS User to Start Nationwide Fast Event on Facebook


byLDS Living Staff | Oct. 17, 2016
Mormon Life

More than 44,000 people are planning to fast on November 6, but that's not just because it's fast Sunday. 
As Tuesday, November 8—Election Day—approaches, some Mormons and members of other faiths are turning to Facebook to participate in an invitation to participate in the nationwide fast event.
According to the event's Facebook page, participants can fast or pray for the benefit of the country.
"With the Election coming up, I suggest that as a nation we fast for our country. Try to fast at anytime that you can on this day. If you can't on this day, do so on another day. Fast for inspiration on who to vote for. Fast for Peace. If for whatever reason you can't fast, just pray. Invite everyone. 
If you don't know how to fast this is how I fast: Start with a prayer. Prayerfully abstain from food and water for two meals. End with a prayer."
The private Facebook event, hosted by Sarah Land, is set to last all day from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m

121. Have you had your own Personal Gethsemane? I have had -- twice!

Image
I ran across this article this morning from a blog called:  LDS S.M.I.L E.  You  can also follow it at:    http://www.ldssmile.com   (Copy and paste)             It stands for LDS Spiritually Minded is Life Eternal. I have copied it as it was in their blog.  In my title, I mentioned I have had a Personal Gethsemane, not once, but two times, both quite different.  They are extremely personal, and I will not go into them here.  Only some family members know, and not even some of whom are my dearest friends.  Some deep problems are very personal, and some are known by many people, and perhaps are mentioned in the media!  They are as diverse as our lives are! But I do know the only thing that allowed me to keep my faith, courage, and personal self control to go on with normal life was our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the comfort I felt from prayer, and yes -- Personal Priesthood blessings. ...

993. Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks · January 16, 2018, in Meridian Magazine

These are great thoughts, and very wise! Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks  · January 16, 2018 We’ve heard phrases like “parenting is a calling from which you are never released [i] , [ii] ” over the pulpit many times, but rarely do we actually reflect on what this means. When taken literally, that it’s a parent’s job to continue to be their child’s caretaker throughout their lives, this belief can create enmeshed families with weak boundaries that undermine the adult child’s agency. Here are some ideas to consider about the danger of parents who are overly involved with their adult children and adult children who don’t fully transition into an adult role. Intrusive Parents   Too often, this belief of eternal parenthood is used to justify a parent giving constant (often unsolicited) input or criticism into an adult child’s life decisions. Does never being released from parenthood mea...
