Direct My Paths: Semantics, Nuances, and Recontextualization
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2014/06/semantics-nuances-and.html
Saturday, June 21, 2014. Semantics, Nuances, and Recontextualization. Matthew 5:48 says "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.". What would happen if we took that scripture at face value? Personally, I think I'd throw my hands up and say, "That's it! No hope for me. I give up! 1 Semantics: the study of the meanings of words and phrases in language. 2 Nuances: a very small difference in color, tone, meaning, etc. There WAS hope for me! To consider another possible nua...

http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2012/10/exercising-faith.html
Friday, October 26, 2012. 1 Nephi 7:12 "Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is able to do all things according to his will, for the children of men, if it so be that they exercise. Wherefore, let us be faithful to him.". Alma 5:15 "Do ye exercise faith. In the redemption of him who created you? D&C 44:2 "And it shall come to pass, that inasmuch as they are faithful, and exercise faith. In me, I will pour out my Spirit upon them.". What does it mean to exercise faith? The Lord is able ...

Direct My Paths: Feeling Rich and Being Grateful for Fleas
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2013/11/feeling-rich-and-being-grateful-for.html
Friday, November 15, 2013. Feeling Rich and Being Grateful for Fleas. This got me thinking about my favorite kind of gratitude list: Things That Make Me Feel Rich. The fact is that when we have an attitude of gratitude as Pres. Monson teaches, we can feel rich no matter what our financial and material situation may be. It's all about recognizing the richness of the blessings we receive. So here are some things that make me feel rich:. A pantry full of food. Fresh fruit and veggies. This concept is well i...

Direct My Paths: Why My Heart Soars
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-my-heart-soars.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. Why My Heart Soars. We qualify for this constant companion when we keep our baptismal covenants, by taking Christ's name upon us, always remembering Him, and keeping His commandments. (D&C 20:77) So what does that really mean? It means to become like Christ. Like Him in very specific ways. There are actually multiple examples of this in the scriptures, but I'm going to use one in particular here. Mosiah 15:1-7, emphasis added.). We must do the same thing. We must learn to submi...

Direct My Paths: Perspective's Child
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2013/10/perspective-child.html
Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Gratitude is a gift born of perspective. It begets contentment and joy. It is one of my favorite virtues. I began this blog several years ago with a post about gratitude. It's been on my mind again recently, especially as I have felt that it has been key to my happiness in the last couple months. And considering that in a few days it will be November- the month for celebrating our blessings- perhaps this post is well timed. :). I have. I'm not perfect. But a brief pas...Any t...

Direct My Paths: Grape Cookies
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2014/03/grape-cookies.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. What if I told you that I had a fabulous recipe for Grape Cookies? Would you call me crazy? Would you be skeptical? Or would you know exactly what I'm talking about? And what if I told you I was almost certain that you have had grape cookies lots of times and might even be your personal favorite? I suspect you'd be confused at best. Well, here's a link to some yummy grape cookies. Oh, did I mention that the grapes are dried? And these cookies have oatmeal in them too? If there are...

Direct My Paths: Dual Nature of the Atonement: Part 1
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2013/10/dual-nature-of-atonement-part-1.html
Friday, October 25, 2013. Dual Nature of the Atonement: Part 1. I'm extremely grateful that this isn't all there is to tell, because the next part is what gives me even greater hope and motivation for my future. Christ, in His infinite goodness, doesn't want us to only "break even" or end right where we began. He wants to do more than just save us; He desires to exalt us! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Direct My Paths: Dual Nature of the Atonement: Part 2
http://directmypaths.blogspot.com/2013/10/dual-nature-of-atonement-part-2.html
Friday, October 25, 2013. Dual Nature of the Atonement: Part 2. Before I continue, let me be clear: the Atonement without a doubt IS a gift given through the grace of God. It is a gift that is freely given, and we in no way deserve or earn it. That bears repeating: Salvation is a gift given through the grace of Christ. But the power is there! Christ did perform the Atonement and He does offer it as a free gift to all. The good news is that we can receive His power into our lives if we so choose! Organize...
