http://grifgrifh.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Saturday, July 30, 2011. Emotions run high on the ice. There's a sport that I think is really cool. Not a lot of people like it. But I think it's a real good sport. It's called curling and it's real good. It involves two teams and it's similar to shuffleboard but it's on ice(to see more information see http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling. The good thing about all of this is we have a plan prepared for us already. This plan. I've previously...

http://grifgrifh.blogspot.com/2011/06/deliberate-disobedience.html
Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. At one point in Disney's The Lion King. Mufasa gave Simba explicit directions never to leave the pride. As the king's son, Simba was guaranteed freedom and protection anywhere in his father's kingdom. But when outside those boundaries, Simba was a huge target as the heir to the throne. Similarly, we are "heirs of God" ( Romans 8:17. Elder David A. Bednar. Labels: David A. Bednar. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Awake, My Soul!: Who Needs A Magic Lamp?!
http://grifgrifh.blogspot.com/2011/07/prayer-works.html
Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Thursday, July 7, 2011. Who Needs A Magic Lamp?

Awake, My Soul!: Bound with the Bands
http://grifgrifh.blogspot.com/2011/05/bound-with-bands.html
Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Saturday, May 21, 2011. Bound with the Bands. We put ourselves in a similar situation when we sin. Although it sometimes may seem otherwise, the commandments of God are in place to keep us free and happy. When we break those commandments we are literally binding ourself in sin. I like how the Book of Mormon prophet Alma puts it, when we sin, we are "bound with the bands of iniquity" ( Mosiah 23:12. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Watchi...

Awake, My Soul!: Painted Into a Corner

Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Painted Into a Corner. Our choices determine a lot about our lives. One wrong choice can have serious consequences. The good news is that God has given us guidance and direction to help us make the right choices. Through His prophets, God gives us commandments. The Book of Mormon prophet Alma teaches us that "wickedness never was happiness ( Alma 41:10. Agency: Essential to the Plan of Life, Ensign Nov. 2010).

Awake, My Soul!: He Lied!
http://grifgrifh.blogspot.com/2011/07/not-what-you-think.html
Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Thursday, July 21, 2011. The Lion King, I think, is one of the best movies I've ever seen. But one thing I haven't realized until recently is how much it can teach us about the gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ. I've previously spoken of the conniving Scar's plot. This reminds me of another liar. Someone who promises us wealth, success, and pleasure if we break the commandments of God. David A. Bednar. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Awake, My Soul!: The New Year
http://grifgrifh.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-year.html
Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Thursday, December 30, 2010. That's the new year! Times like this always remind me of changes I've made in my life. Changes are good but only if they're for the better. The prophet Moroni has invited all of us to "come unto Christ, and be perfected in him" (Moroni 10:32). These are the changes we should all be making in our lives. If something brings us closer to Christ, it is a good thing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Watching Sense...

Awake, My Soul! An LDS Online Missionary. The Articles of Faith. Thursday, January 6, 2011. Arise and Come Forth Unto Me". Jesus' plea, "arise and come forth unto me" is applicable to all of us today! We must read of Him, learn of Him, and speak of Him. We must arise from the darkness of sin, the confusion of the world, and the very real temptations of Satan. We must understand our true potential and go forth unto Jesus Christ. I know Christ lives! Blessed be the nameof the Most High God! 8220;I don't wa...
