RMYL is Divinely Inspired


Captains Log 12: 3.3.11

Attended the Master's or my Lord's great general conference.  Much of the counsel I received is quite personal but I will share some of the things I noticed about the conference. 

Four talks I counted involved with children with cancer.

The topic of marriage now resounds within every man of marriage-able age's head.

We live to die and we die to live. However, so not let one's fear of this displace one's faith.
Also, being faithful is more than merely having faith. Being faithful means working the will of Christ; it is being obedient to his laws and then acting on them believing he will keep his promises.

All my faith will be necessary to guide and keep me through the upcoming years. 

I realized  President Monson's message, "The future is as bright as your faith," does not have to mean your future on earth. In fact, the quote is more meaningful if taken to mean your post-mortal life. Where one's degree of glory directly correlates to one's exercise of faith on earth.

The gospel is simple and if one lives it then their life will become simple as well. The simplicity comes from following the two overall commandments: Love thy God with all they might, mind, and strength; Love thy neighbour as theyself.

Where charity exists gossip and unkind words cannot be. 
Kindness is an essence "of greatness" 

Jesus and or the Holy Ghost is not a butler or therapist; there to meet our needs and make us feel good. He is our master, to guide us in our progress and transformation to godhood. 

Lastly there were 5 recreation references. Two were canyons, 2 hikes, and one horseback riding/camping trip. My conclusion: RMYL is divinely inspired. Hahaha! 

Can I incorporate this counsel into my life? 
Maybe, if life continues.

Floyd, out.
