The story of Jonathan and David of true friendship. Even though Jonathan and David were potential rivals for the kingdom, they both were devoted to each other. Jonathan recognized that his own father has lost favor with the Lord because of disobedience, and that David was to be anointed the next King. 1 Samuel 18:3 states “Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.” Their bond was that of brothers bound by love and respect for each other. Even after King Saul sought the life of David, Jonathan remained true to his beloved friend, and David in returned vowed not to seek revenge on Saul’s family once David became King.

In contrast, the relationship with Saul was not so pleasant. Saul became jealous of David popularity with the people. He felt threatened, and bitter. He sought to kill David on more than one occasion. In comparison, David refused to harm Saul in any way. There were two times when David had found Saul asleep, and had the opportunity to kill Saul. It must have been tempting to do it, because Saul was hunting him down. But David recognized that even though Saul had lost the support of God, he was still anointed as King. David recognized that it was God’s job to remove Saul from the throne, not his.

Today we have the “Lord’s anointed”. He is our prophet, seer and revelator. He was chosen, prepared and called by God. He speaks to us under the direction of the Lord. It is God’s job to remove him from that seat, no one else. We must support, sustain, love and respect him just as Jonathan did for David. Our anointed leader today is President Thomas S Monson. By supporting and sustaining our prophet, we recognize that he speaks to us for the Lord, and that he is truly called of God.

My latest English assignment was a research paper. I was given a social issue, and I was to determine the best solution. My topic was sleep deprivation. I learned a lot during this assignment, and it has given me more motivation to "Go To Sleep". I hope you enjoy

Go To Sleep

Reference

I got married in the temple because I wanted to not only be sealed with my family forever, but to also reach the highest degree of glory in Heaven. By marrying in the covenant, I qualify myself and my family for exultation: to live forever with God, and with eternal increase. I will be able to continue to have children. Satan wants us to forget this truth, because he knows the joy we will feel in that place. Misery wants company, and Satan is the father of misery.

Like many people in the world, there are things about myself that I want to change. I would like to be funnier, prettier and better at math. It took a lot of effort to make changes in myself. Through these modification, I have discovered one truth: change is possible. I have seen others in my life change in various ways. There were three common factors that I saw in them that made it possible to achieve their goals. They made sacrifices, had the support of a loved one, and had a deep personal desire to change. Whether the adjustments are big or small, I believe that people can change.

There is no way a person can change without making sacrifices. For many years, I have desired to become healthier. After fighting off stage one ovarian cancer, I learned that I needed to modify my diet. To achieve my health goals I had to make sacrifices. I had to reject the unhealthy food that I loved to eat. It took a lot of work to recondition my mind to crave for things that were good for me. Many times sacrifices are hard, because we desire to hold onto the things that make us unhappy. I asked myself why that is, and I discovered that there is comfort in consistency. We delude ourselves into thinking that our bad choices makes us happy, instead it does the opposite. Many times we will need to keep trying, especially if habits do not change after the first attempt. It is hard to avoid discouragement when we fail to change right away, but I learned that I only fail if I stop trying.

Sacrifice is only one step in making lasting change. A person must have the support of a loved one, who believes he or she can change. In my own pursuit to become healthier, I had success as a result of the support of my friends and family. After I was first diagnosed with cancer, I knew that I needed to adjust how I ate. As I struggled to find healthy recipes, my family supported me in my efforts. Even after they were forced to eat disgusting food as I tried various new recipes. Without that support, the changes I made would not have lasted. They knew I had the ability to change, and therefore so did I.

Desire plays the most important role in our journey towards change. No matter how much we want a loved one to overcome a challenge, they will not change unless they want too. Trying to modify a person is like trying to open a door by banging your head on it. The door will remain closed and only cause you pain. When I was younger, I didn’t care about how I ate. I lived off of hamburgers and fries. My health was declining, and people were concerned. It wasn’t until cancer threatened to take my life that I decided to change. Once I yearned to be healthy, I was able to succeed.

Like many people in the world, I have desired to change things about myself. The modifications I wanted to make were not easy, yet I was able to make these alterations because of sacrifice, support and desire. Without that formula, change is nearly impossible. Whether the adjustments are big or small, I believe that people can change.

It begins with the high priest going through at meticulous cleansing process. The high priest is to go to the holy place of the tabernacle with a “young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.” (Leviticus 16:3). He is clean is body and put on holy linen clothing. Once he has offered the sin and burnt offering for himself, he is then to make a sin offering and a burnt offering on behalf of Israel. This involves two kid goats for a sin offering and one ram. He offers the two goats symbolically before the Lord “at the door of the tabernacle” (Leviticus 16:6). One goat will be offered as a sin offering for Israel, and the other will offered to the Lord as a scapegoat. Once he makes the sacrifices for himself, he is to “take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward: and before the mercy seal shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times” (Leviticus 16:14). The sprinkling of the blood in the holy place of the temple is symbolic to the blood of Jesus Christ. His blood cleanses each of us from our sins. Once this is done the high priest is cleansed and able to perform the cleansing rituals for Israel.

To make the atonement for the children of Israel, the high priest then kills the goat for the sin offering. The blood of the goat is then brought to the veil and sprinkled at the mercy seat in the same manner as the bullock. Once he has reconciled the people of Israel through the sin offering, the high priest brings the scapegoat to the altar. There he lays his hands upon the head of the goat, and confess all the sins of Israel. Then the scapegoat is lead into the wilderness by a man appointed by the high priest. Once the high priest is done, he removes his holy garments and leaves the holy place in the tabernacle.

Aaron who was the high priest at the time needed to make atonement for himself before he made the atonement for the people. He needed to do this because Aaron was symbolically the Savior, and must be cleansed from his own sins to atone for the sins of others.

The use of the two goats was also symbolic. The first goat was symbolic to the Savior being sacrificed for the sins of the world, and the scapegoat was symbolic to the adversary being cast of the presence of the Lord. Thus its exile was symbolic of the people of Israel exiling their sins and influence of the adversary.

Both goats represent Jesus Christ and the atonement he made for each of us. The first goat was sacrificed as a type of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the scapegoat represented the liberty of sin that His atonement makes possible for us.

The duties of the high priest are symbolic to the duties of the Savior as well. Only Jesus Christ had no need to purify himself first because he had no sin. The man who was appointed to lead the scapegoat out of the wilderness represents the Lord’s appointed servants. They direct and lead the church through the authority given to them by the Savior. Our current leaders are the prophet, sears, and revelator’s of our time; President Thomas S Monson, and the members of the first presidency and quorum of the twelve apostles.

The ritual “Day of Atonement” is an example of vicarious work done for the benefit of another. The high priest vicariously atoned for the sins of Israel. The Atonement of Jesus Christ was also done vicariously. Vicarious means to be done by another. Jesus Christ atoned for sins on our behalf. Elder James E Talmage said “God has never refused to accept an offering made by one who is authorized on behalf of those who are in any way incapable of doing the required service themselves.” For a person’s sins to be forgiven they must humble themselves. By repenting of their sins, rejecting their sins, and making all possible recompense, a person qualifies themselves access to the blessings of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

1. “Thou shalt have no other God’s before me.” (Exodus 20:3)
2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images” (Exodus 20:4)
3. “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” (Exodus 20:7)
4. “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” (Exodus 20:8)
5. “Honour thy father and thy mother.” (Exodus 20:12)
6. “Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13)
7. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14)
8. “Thou shalt not steal.” (Exodus 20:15)
9. “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” (Exodus 20:16)
10. “Thou shalt not covet.” (Exodus 20:17)

This week I got to study the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20: 3-17. It was fascinating to study more deeply these commandments, and discover how I can do better in my own life.

I Could Bare No More

With-in the next few months my next surgery was set. Even though I was determined to be happy, finding that happiness was hard. I was worried and sad all the time. I decided to give myself over to the Lord completely. By doing so, I was able to find the peace I was searching for. It didn’t matter what happened to me anymore, because I had faith that Heavenly Father knew what I needed to be happy. I threw myself into the rearing of the children I already had. Three was a good number, even if I couldn’t have the six children I was hoping for. Those months waiting for surgery were filled with joy beyond comparison.

After I recovered from my hysterectomy, I struggled again with finding happiness. The fact that I could no longer have children really hit me, especially since many of my friends were having more themselves. I struggled with feelings of resentment and jealousy. I felt incomplete and broken. A part of me was taken, and I could never get it back. I desperately wanted to find happiness again. My mother-in-law saw my struggles, and knew what I needed. Our community put together a musical rendition of “The Garden,” which tells the tale of the Atonement of Jesus Christ through the perspective of the Garden of Gethsemane. In the garden was a barren olive tree. Her song was for me. I felt her pain for it was my own. Then the Savior was crucified, and resurrected, and the olive tree bore fruit. That is where I found my peace and joy. Just like the olive tree, I will once again be whole. More children will come from me once my body is resurrected. The atonement of Jesus Christ became personal to me that day. Because of Him, I will be whole again one day.

Many years have passed since that day, yet I still feel the same sweet joy. I cannot have any more children. That has not changed. I have many friends who are still having children, yet those feelings of resentment and jealousy do not come. I can rejoice with my friends as their families grow, because of my knowledge of the resurrection. I can find joy in my little family, because I know that we will be together forever. Even though cancer has changed my life, I am happy. The kind of happiness that can only come from a loving Savior who paved the way, who conquered death so that all mankind can live forever. I learned that no matter my circumstance, I can be happy.

ADHD – A Skill Instead of a Disorder

Many circumstances require a person to think differently. That is why those with ADHD should be highly regarded. The University of Michigan did a study on creative and divergent thinking in ADHD young adults. The study was headed by Holly White, assistant professor of psychology, and her colleague Priti Shah, an associate professor. Shah states "We knew that ADHD individuals did better at laboratory measures of divergent thinking, but we didn't know if that would translate to real-life achievement. The current study suggests that it does." While studying the creative thinking patterns of ADHD young adults, White and Shah discovered that those individuals are able to excel in real life situation as a result of their divergent thinking and creative abilities. History has another example of success in life, as a result of the skills that come with being ADHD. Albert Einstein was a textbook case of ADHD. As a result of his ability to “think outside of the box”, he excelled in life. Like many, Einstein struggled with school, but he succeeded once he was able to manage the negative symptoms. It can be challenging, but increased creativity and divergent thinking can be a blessing to their lives.

While it can be frustrating for a parent to get the attention of a child who is hyper-focusing, that ability can be helpful. Freelance writer, Zoë Kessler, thrives on her focus capabilities. This characteristic trait came in handy while writing her first novel. She states “I happily hyper focused my way through writing the manuscript. Fourteen-hour stretches passed, and I’d resent having to get up to feed myself. I don’t think I could have written that book without the ADHD blessing of intense hyper focus.” There are many careers that demand this skill, such as a writer, therapeutic drumming facilitator, and art class model, just to name a few. Kessler warns that, if left unchecked, hyper focusing can be a hindrance. The key to success is to learn through practice, the ability to decide when or when not to hyper focus.

Having high energy and drive is a skill that many people want to have. Athletes need this ability to be able to master the sport they are pursuing. Olympic swimmer and gold medallist, Michael Phelps is an excellent example of how having ADHD works for him. His drive gave him the ability to master swimming, and his high energy helped him gain speed. These traits were necessary for him to win. Teachers and parents struggle with managing a child with high energy. If a child is given the right outlet for that energy, managing it becomes much easier. Just as Michael Phelps found his outlet through swimming, anyone can thrive with the right channel.

Looking back at the mother during parent teacher interviews, others can relate to her frustration. What should she do to help her son, and to help the teachers to understand her position? She knows that her son has special gifts that at times make it hard for him to function in school. Should she medicate her son to be rid of the negative symptoms? There is no easy answer to that question. There are times when medication is beneficial, but it is not for everyone. A person must consider the side effects of medication. Do the pros outweigh the cons? While it can frustrating, and at times disruptive, it is important to acknowledge that having ADHD is a skill that needs to be managed, not a disorder. For a child to live up to his or her potential, the negative effects need to be recognized. With behavioral therapy, understanding and patience, a child can use the skills that he or she has been given. Imagine what a child can do if they know that they can do it, instead of believing that there is something wrong with them. Look at Zoë Kessler, Alberta Einstein and Michael Phelps and what they were able to accomplish. They are ADHD at its best.

LDS Members and Government

Agency is vital to our belief system. It is the reason we chose to follow Jesus Christ’s plan instead of the adversary. By choosing the Savior’s plan, we chose to stand for agency. Not just our own agency, but the agency of all mankind. Just as we are free to choose, those who are not LDS have that same right. The eleventh article of faith states “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.” We are given religious freedom, and so we must give that same freedom to others.

Agency is not the only reason citizens should not force their beliefs on others. When a society is predominately LDS, the minorities sometimes get over looked. No matter what a person believes, their voice is vital, and should be heard. Early in the restoration of the Church, the saints were severely persecuted. Citizens in the community feared that the “Mormon population” was growing too much, and would force their belief system on others. That fear, fueled the persecution of the early saints. They were forced out of their homes and communities. I live in a predominately LDS community. There are some in my community who push the government to keep laws that are conducive to the LDS faith. While those laws are good, there are those who feel oppressed and limited. To avoid similar resentment and persecution, societies need to ensure that the voice of the minorities is heard.

It is important to give all members of a community the right to have their voice heard, but it is just as important to have peace in a community. There is a distinct line between members and non- members in my community. There is at times contention. Forcing our beliefs on others causes contention. I understand that a predominately LDS community would want to use their vote to make laws that are conducive to the LDS faith because they feel it is their duty. In the Bible, God commanded the Israelites to eliminate all Canaanites from the cities they were taking. This was necessary, because the Israelites were like impressionable children, but it does not apply in today’s world. There is no community that is 100% LDS. Therefore communities need to work together.

With the growth of the Church, there are many LDS predominate communities. While there is security for the members in such communities, it also creates minorities. All citizens of a community have the right to their own beliefs, and to have their voice heard by the government. That is why predominantly LDS communities should not use its majority voting power to make laws that reflect its religious beliefs.

The Need for Hugs

I grew up on hugs. There were many times in my childhood, when I would walk into the kitchen and catch my parents locked in a loving embrace. Seeing my parents swaying and rocking in the ever loving arms of their embrace brought sweet joy to my young life. Seeing my father’s arms gently wrapped around my mother, taught me that he loves and respects her very much. Seeing my mother’s head resting on my father’s chest, while she rocked back and forth in their embrace, taught me that it is okay to take shelter from the scary world in the embrace of a loved one. I remember a time, when one of my older brothers put his arm casually around my shoulders, while we were walking to the bus. Having my brother’s strong arm wrapped around my shoulders, made me feel that I would be safe from any bully. I give credit for my happy childhood to the abundance of hugs that I witnessed and enjoyed.

As I teenager, I needed hugs no less than I needed them as a child. Hugs became more casual for me during those important adolescent years. An embrace from close friends were how we said hello and good-bye. During days of insecurity, receiving a hug from a friend in greeting made me feel loved and appreciated. There is no pain in my life that hasn’t felt better after an embrace. I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have hugs as a teenager. Being a teenage girl was not easy, and there were times when I would be consumed by grumpiness. Hugs would sooth my ravaged soul. No matter how angry, hurt, or crazy I felt, a warm hug from someone who cared for me would calm and comfort me.

As an adult, hugs changed for me. I needed them more than any time in my life. It was my turn to be caught by my children, hugging their father in our kitchen. There was no sweeter feeling than having my husband’s strong arms wrapped around me. While we rocked and swayed in our loving embrace, I felt loved and needed. What rapture, to be interrupted in our embrace, by our excited children eager to join in. I love it when our family snuggles. My children are just like me. They live for hugs. I notice them hugging each other, embracing their friends, and always seeking snuggles from their mother who loves them. I catch them steeling a hug from our large and fluffy dog, which is so easy to hug. I see them taking comfort during times of sadness from a warm embrace, either from their favorite stuffed animal, our dog, or their father and me. I feel the sweet joy as I hug the precious children in my care.

I believe in hugs. If it were not for the existence of hugs, life would be cold and hard. Hugs are for comfort and support, to sooth my soul, and to show affection to all those I care about. I like to share my hugs with those I feel need it. Whether young or old, anyone would benefit from a loving embrace from a person who cares.

You are my lifesaver. Before you came into my life, I didn’t fall asleep easily. I would lay awake in bed, tossing and turning. Every little street light and car light flicker would tear me out of my slumber. Every stressful thought I had throughout the day would linger in my mind, making sleep impossible. Before you, I would lay in bed hoping that someday I would find what I needed to bring the sweet joy of slumber into my life. When I saw you sitting on the shelf of my favourite book store, I knew that I had to have you. I picked you up to take a closer look, and I knew that you were what I needed.

I remember our first night together. I was nervous and worried that your presence wouldn’t help me, but your soft, warm and comforting touch replaced my nervousness with peace. I will always remember our first night together and how rested you made me feel in the morning. Since you came into my life, sleep is easier for me. I am no longer plagued by the street or car lights outside my room. Your soft touch on my face has helped me release the stresses of the day, so my mind is clear of thoughts and worries. You brought restful sleep into my life, and for that I am eternally grateful to you.

I love the way you softly wrap you pink straps around my head at just the right tension. Your soft hug on my face is not too tight, but tight enough to make me feel secure in your embrace. Your soft grey fabric feels like clouds caressing my eyes. You are the perfect match for me. I have never met any other face mask with as much style and grace as you have. I plan on giving you as much love and care as you have given me in our brief time together. See you tonight my love.

Love,

Heather

Language - From Belittling to Uplifting 

Vulgar words chase away the Holy Ghost. Someone could normally speak well, but in the heat of a frustrating moment, lose control and vulgarity comes out. In such times the spirit flees faster than it takes for such words to connect with another’s brain. A good environment changes quickly to a place lacking the Holy Ghost. A fun party can easily turn into a contentious gathering. Allowing oneself to give into vulgar language in a time of anger diminishes a person’s self mastery. Instead of losing control, a person can be masters of themselves and their thoughts and only allow good things come out of their mouths. In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul stated “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers” (Ephesians 4:49). So instead of blaming circumstance, someone who is in control of their language and their thoughts has the Holy Ghost with them, and they are able to be true masters of themselves.

Vulgar language is not the only way to have “corrupt language”. Sarcasm can be just as damaging to relationships as vulgarity is. President Gordon B Hinckley (1920 -2008) stated “Everywhere is heard the snide remark, the sarcastic gibe, the cutting down of associates. Sadly these are too often the essence of our conversation. In our homes, wives weep and children finally give up under the barrage of criticism.” Instead up lifting up each other, those who participate in sarcasm tear down and belittle. In the August 2013 Ensign there is an article written by Jennifer Grace Jones. She describes her experiences with new friends after college. Jennifer states “months of interactions in which humor came at the expense of someone’s feelings - including mine - left my heart heavy. I yearned for friends who would encourage me instead of make fun of my shortcomings.” She continues to share her experiences of visiting her old college friends. Her college friends were not sarcastic and Jennifer remembers “Their kindness soothed like a balm, and I resolved to become a better friend, especially when it came to uplifting others with my conversation.” By avoiding sarcasm, a person can be a better more uplifting friend, spouse or parent.

Avoiding sarcasm is not the only way to have better communication. If a person can learn to avoid yelling, that person’s ability to be more caring and compassionate increases. A parent who loses their temper on a child in frustration causes that child to shut down and develop low self esteem. Yelling chases away the spirit just as fast a vulgarity does. How can a parent do their job without the guidance of the Holy Ghost. A child is more receptive to correction, when that correction comes with a soft tone from a loving parent. The strength of youth pamphlet states “speak kindly and positively about others… Avoid speaking in anger. When you are tempted to say harsh or hurtful things, leave them unsaid.” Even though the strength of youth pamphlet is targeted to youth, the teachings can be applied to all generations. If a parent would “avoid speaking in anger” and instead relied on guidance from the Holy Ghost, the correction needed will be better received from the child. Human interactions will be more edified and uplifting if everyone would avoid speaking in anger.

Mankinds ability to communicate with others is a gift from God. A gift that should be used to uplift and edify others. Not used to degrade and belittle. To misuse the gift of communication by using vulgar words, sarcasm and speaking in anger, is to chase away the Holy Ghost. Thanks to the atonement of Jesus Christ, any person who desires to change how they communicate can change. By being masters of oneself, only speaking kindly towards others, and avoid speaking in anger a person will change their communication from belittling to uplifting.

I have always felt that my children are very talented. Donald is a great artist who can draw anything he wants. Daniel is very athletic for a five year old. He has incredible balance, and I see him doing well in any sport he chooses. Taylor is our dancer. She is currently taking Ballet, and Jazz. I have always been amazed at how well she does with new dance moves. One of my favorite exercises is Zumba, and I actually have a Zumba disc for my Xbox Kinect. I was amazed at how well she was doing. I am pretty happy that she loves to dance, and is so talented at it.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Cardston. There was hardly any wind, but it was warm. Daniel decided that it was time to  have a picnic. So there we were as a family in the middle of January having an afternoon picnic in our front yard. Our dogs enjoyed running around the front yard, while we each relaxed in the January sun. It was one of Daniel's best ideas. Looking outside now, it is weird to think that yesterday the weather was warm enough for a picnic. All I can see outside now is white. That is Alberta weather for you.

She isn't biting him, she is licking his face.

Gospel Solutions For Families: "Gospel Solutions for Families is a program that promotes gospel living amid the everyday challenges and opportunities of marriage and family life. General auxiliary leaders and experts come together in studio to discuss topics relevant to today's families. Matthew O. Richardson, second counselor in the Sunday School general presidency, hosts the program." I was looking through their episodes, and I am excited to listen to a few of their topics. The series starts off with two episodes focused on the family proclamation.

Mormon Channel Daily: "Join us Monday through Friday to hear inspirational stories, news, events, quotes from Church leaders, and more for your daily uplift." I enjoy listening to this series every morning, and the host is fun to listen to. You can also email her questions, and stories for her to bring up.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Premieres: "The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, once a small band of singers who in 1847 had just crossed the plains of America, has become a premier all-volunteer chorus with a world-famous, instantly recognizable sound. With great honor the Mormon Channel presents Mormon Tabernacle Choir Premieres." There was one night I couldn't sleep because of the heavy wind in my area. I put on my headphones, and this series was on. The soothing uplifting music helped me fall asleep, and calmed my soul. I get really agitated in the wind.

Stories From General Conference: "Stories from General Conference features some of the best anecdotes shared during various General Conference addresses over the past several years, each tied to a specific topic or theme." I was studying one morning, while listening to this series. I found examples and insights that helped me in my book of mormon study, that I am able to use in my classes discussion board. An excellent study tool.

Teaching, No Greater Call: "As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints you have an opportunity to teach the gospel as a parent, son, daughter, sister, brother, or neighbor. To help you with this, the Sunday School general presidency hosts Teaching, No Greater Call. Russell T. Osguthorpe, David M. McConkie, and Matthew O. Richardson talk about how to magnify your calling as a teacher, whether in the Church or in other settings." I look forward to listening to this series. Those who know me well, know why.

We Will Stand: "Each week young women from around the world share their hopes, struggles and triumphs." I am excited that there is media available to help our youth stay on the straight ad narrow path.

The Mormon Channel Q & A: "When we look for answers to life's many questions, we look to the apostles and prophets of the Lord. Mormon Channel Q&A takes your questions and allows the prophets and apostles of our dispensation to answer them fully. Listen to their very words as they answer your questions." I was cleaning my house one day when this series came on. I received a lot of insight from this series. A great resource to help anyone who is looking for questions to be answered. You can email this series any gospel questions you have, and they will answer them.

I hope you enjoy this great media resource, and thank you for allowing me to share this with you. Have a great week
