The
truth is, the rock is only a few feet above the ground. All that is required is the proper perspective!

Remember this  when you read/view material on the internet. Sometimes, the truth is a lot different than what it appears.

Isn't this a great example of the message from President Russell M. Nelson, to the youth -- and us all -- this last Sunday, June 3, 2018.  A "break from the fake!"   --- FALSE REALITY!

 In the worldwide devotional with youth, President Nelson issued five challenges to the youth of the Church. One was to take a week-long break from social media, to sacrifice their time, repent, pray, and stand out from the world. Many youth have organized to disengage from a constant reliance on social media using the hashtag #7DayBreakFromTheFake.

President Nelson invites youth to enlist in the Lord’s battalion by doing 5 specific things

Recognizing that he is preparing for the day when he will be required to give an accounting to the Lord about his stewardship as God’s prophet upon the earth, President Nelson said he did not want to report at that time that he was not more clear or bold with the youth about their part in the gathering of Israel. 
“So now, I am inviting every young woman and every young man between the ages of 12 and 18 in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to enlist in the youth battalion of the Lord to help gather Israel.”
President Nelson offered five specific things for youth to do — that will change them and help change the world — as they enlist in the Lord’s youth battalion to gather Israel.
1. Disengage from a constant reliance on social media. President Nelson invited the youth of the Church to hold a seven-day fast from social media to decrease its worldly influence upon them.
“I acknowledge that there are positives about social media,” President Nelson said. “But if you are paying more attention to feeds from social media than you are to the whisperings of the Spirit, then you are putting yourself at spiritual risk, as well as the risk of experiencing intense loneliness and depression.”
The prophet warned of the “false reality” often portrayed online, where every post includes a person’s most fun, adventurous and exciting pictures, which creates the erroneous impression that everyone else has a fun, adventurous and exciting life.
“Much of what appears in your various social media feeds is distorted, if not fake,” he said. “So, give yourself a seven-day break from fake.”
2. Make a weekly sacrifice of time to the Lord, for three weeks in a row.

2011. “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing”: Mental Health and the Spirit of God By Roger Connors · June 3, 2022, from Meridian Magazine

 I have loved how Wilford Woodruff wrote "I went on my way rejoicing!" “And He Went on His Way Rejoicing”: Mental Health and the Spirit of God  By  Roger Connors  · June 3, 2022 As a mission president, you are constantly looking for ways to help missionaries cope with the anxiety and stress of life on a mission. While it can be incredibly rewarding, missionary work isn’t easy—particularly when life provides a surprise like a worldwide pandemic that literally increases the difficulty of missionary life in an instant. Add to that the normal challenges of mental and physical health that manifest at this age and the need becomes even clearer: mental health isn’t something you can just assume, it’s something you have to develop and maintain. [1] I remember being quite amazed at the missionary life of Wilford Woodruff. He participated in the difficult march with Zion’s camp, then chose to stay in Missouri to do missionary work. He was an amazing missionary, serving several missions

211. The Palmyra Temple -- The rest of the story -- (History)

Image
Subject: Palmyra Temple--Rest of the Story T We rarely know all the details of a completed temple.   Much goes on in the months and years prior to its completion.   The Palmyra, NY temple is no exception and the story is one of great vision, insight and the Lord's intervention . The story starts years before, perhaps years before anyone thought to build a temple here.    In 1907 Apostle George Albert Smith purchased a portion of the original Smith farm for $16,000.   In 1915 he sold it to the Church for $1.00 and President Joseph F. Smith called Bro Willard Bean and wife Rebecca on a 5 year mission to manage the farm and be the first stationary missionaries in the area since the Saints removed to Ohio in 1830.  They served here for 25 years! making numerous improvements to the farm,  softening the attitudes of the local residents, helping the Church to acquire more of the farm, and even the hill we now call the Hill Cumorah.  The Hill Cumorah pageant had its beginnin

How appropriate this is for July 24th, in just 3 days!  This is for all you readers who have pioneer ancestors , or you are a pioneer in your own family, or country.  You can send in your own story! Today I begin a training period so I can go back to our local Family History Center, and be a volunteer to help others.  From about 1992 to 2011, I volunteered, and 2 times served a 1 year mission there.  But since then, there are so many new things in technology that I need to catch up!   I took a class recently on how to upload photos and other memories on to Family Search, in Family Tree, and I have had so much fun doing that!  Both Wayne and I have had health problems over the last year or two, but we are at a time things are going better, and I want to get back to one of the things I love most -- FAMILY HISTORY, AND GENEALOGY! ! !
