First Vision

"“How have the events that followed the First Vision made a difference for me and my loved ones?” Also, with the Book of Mormon videos now becoming available, you may wish to incorporate them in your individual and family study.
Select your own questions. Design your own plan. Immerse yourself in the glorious light of the Restoration. As you do, general conference next April will be not only memorable; it will be unforgettable."                                                                       
 Russell M Nelson (the current living prophet on the earth)     
General Conference October 2019 for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints

Little did we know that the prophet would say this when we scheduled a trip to the Priesthood Restoration site and the Sacred Grove.  I am glad that we were able to go when there were very few people.  I assume there might be a few more in the next 6 months.  Even though we can prepare, think and learn about what it means us each of us without actually going there.
It was humbling to think of those trees being there when 2 heavenly beings came to answer a young mans prayer.  
The stone that his prayer started rolling has certainly changed my life.

Stevenson Oct 2025 Don't Bite Back A small rattle to keep from being stepped on is okay, even needed, then you can get away. Let your light shine, be the best you, you can be. A favorite story is of a contest asking for a picture of peace -- it was a mother bird sitting in a next caring for her eggs in the midst of a horrendous storm.

Promises

  Alma 37: 16 But if ye keep the commandments of God, and do with these things which are sacred according to that which the Lord doth command you, (for you must appeal unto the Lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with them) behold, no power of earth or hell can take them from you, for God is powerful to the fulfilling of all his words. 17 For he will fulfil all his promises which he shall make unto you, for he has fulfilled his promises which he has made unto our fathers. Those that came before worked so hard to give us what we have today.  How can we not work hard for them and our future posterity as well.

Where do you stand ---

 When playing roulette with scriptures I first received a warning, but if I change, then a blessing  2 Nephi 32: 7 And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be. Ether 4:13 Come unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief.
