I have been Arbitrating (5000 + points this month). 

I looked for these today and found one needing Arbitration. I did it (quite a mix of Indexing, back and forth, which shows the strength of having two Indexers). Once I submitted it, they were not on the available Batches table, used by Indexers and Arbitrators of images needing indexed or arbitrated.

Lessons Learned from a Good Selfie – My Time to Blossom  

A picture of Christ in the background.

 In junior high a young girl had the cross that you were around her neck stolen and I got it back, the scar has long sense faded from my thumb but I remember it as one of my trophies. I dearly paid for this scar because that was where my clarinet and saxophone set. I ask her to get her photo taken with the cross just in case it was lost or was stolen again. Today a selfie would work.

in Thanksgiving by my father:

            I am thankful for our children and for the many things I have learned from them. I remember about 24 years ago when we lived in North Platte we belonged to a small branch. For you that have had the privilege of having attended a small branch you know that everyone has one or more callings. I was serving in a couple of positions when I was given another assignment. I accepted it but I guess I was complaining a little at home. I recall saying I thought I was doing my share and wondered why I was asked to do more. My youngest son who was 14 at the time told me and I quote “Dad, everyone must do their share. It’s what you do after you do your share that really counts.” I have found this to be wise council. It works in our church duties at our place of employment, or in service to others.

    Faith and fear cross over trust. Trust open the possibility of betrayal or friendship. Being afraid is felt with each mention of fear.

Up at 1 AM due to angina pain. I turned on the TV:   

Commander William T. Riker: In all trust, there is the possibility of betrayal. I’m not sure you were… prepared for that.Lt. Commander Data: Were you prepared, sir?

Commander William T. Riker: I don’t think anybody ever is.

Lt. Commander Data: Hm… Then it is better not to trust?

Commander William T. Riker: Without trust, there’s no friendship, no closeness. None of the emotional bonds that make us who we are.

Lt. Commander Data: And yet you put yourself at risk.

Commander William T. Riker: Every single time.

Lt. Commander Data: Perhaps I am fortunate, sir, to be spared the emotional consequences.

Commander William T. Riker: Perhaps.

Sad that she felt this talk was necessary. 

The saddest to this point in my life, I remember how I had such great hopes in this Church when I was young. And this is too far from over. 

   
4 Nephi 1:15-17

  
15 And it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people. 16 And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. 17 There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God.

Elder Rasband Urges Graduates to Press on “to the Summit” – Church News and Events

“It means being the Lord’s disciples for your lifetime,” he said. “It means reaching out to family members with a humble and contrite heart to heal a wound you may have inflicted on someone, or that may have been thrust at you. It means forgiving when you do not feel like you were at fault, choosing to lift someone’s spirits rather than attack their weaknesses. It means to be loving, to be kind.”

As a youth I mentally created places to meditate: a prayer chapel with prayed rounds like how I felt (happy with doors ranging from forests with flowers and animals, grieving with what we would now call a slideshow wall, asking with a blank answer wall, a Saints statues room …

I had not seen this before:

This Post reminded me of a set of scriptures I have where I put a check mark by verses that were referenced in Church talks and publications; differing marks by usage (meaning) and double underlining words with multiple meanings. 

I noticed over time that my favorite scriptures were being marked the most. Experiment over, I bought a new set. Oh yah, and most marked were testimonies of Christ, so I started looking for who was bearing their testimony.
    

Several years ago, I learned again the power that comes from trying harder to have the scriptures opened to our hearts. 
It began when I noticed the scriptures of a man sitting next to me in a meeting. He opened them as the discussion progressed, and I could see that they were marked, as I had done, but with a difference. He had placed colored tags on the edges of pages, keyed to the colors in which he had marked the scriptures. 

I asked him after the meeting to tell me about it. He showed me the front of his scriptures where he had placed a typed page. On that page were topics about the gospel, each with a line under it. And he had placed the colored markers on the edge of the scriptures, one color for each topic, so that he could study all the scriptures that were helpful to him on that topic.

Within a day I had purchased an inexpensive set of scriptures. But it took more than a few days and more than a few prayers for me to know the topics that would open the scriptures anew for me. 

I chose the topics that would teach me of my call to be a witness of Jesus Christ. The first topic is the witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; the next is that He is risen; and the third is that He is the head of His Church. 

I would not urge you to buy a new set of scriptures, nor to get colored tags and colored pencils, nor to choose the topics that I chose. But I plead with you to return to the scriptures in some way that opens your mind and heart to be taught.
