For those of you who don't know me very well here are 5 things about me now or me in the past.
1. I write a weekly blog on a religious topic I study throughout the week, I email it to my friends and post it on facebook
2. I am a retired elementary School teacher, I live on 1st South in Logan, Utah; right across the street from the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. The building houses the Mt. Logan Stake, the Stewart Park Ward, and the Johanson Park Ward. I attend the Stewart Park Ward and am a Primary teacher.
3. twenty+ years ago I lived on 7th N in Logan Utah, I attended the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. I taught Releif Society lessons there; the Building I went to housed the Logan 10th and 29th Wards. I was a member of both due to the boundaries being re-aligned. and I taught school (1st & 4 grades) at Wilson Elementary School.
4. Those of you who teach or have taught know that you cannot teach anything that you do not know. My church mantra was and is "you cannot have an adequate faith in a GOD you do not know." Most of my hours away from teaching were/ are spent in studying both religious an secular subjects. I was asked once why I spent so much time reading. I did it so the subject I was to teach became mine; in other words so I would know it in my head (for teaching at School) and in my heart (for teaching at church)
5. Please listen to this talk and music--- may it inspire you to use the five suggestions of President & Prophet Russell M. Nelson: especially Study This blog is for all of you I love and for the Lord MY Savior and King who knows me and who prays for me.
TALK : "Christ Is Risen:Faith In Him Will Move Mountains" by Russel M. Nelson April 2021
Ponder this: "To do anything well requires effort. Becoming a true disciple of Jesus Christ is no exception. Increasing your faith and trust in Him takes effort. May I offer five suggestions to help you develop that faith and trust.
First, study. Become an engaged learner. Immerse yourself in the scriptures to understand better Christ’s mission and ministry. Know the doctrine of Christ so that you understand its power for your life. Internalize the truth that the Atonement of Jesus Christ applies to you. He took upon Himself your misery, your mistakes, your weakness, and your sins. He paid the compensatory price and provided the power for you to move every mountain you will ever face. You obtain that power with your faith, trust, and willingness to follow Him.
Moving your mountains may require a miracle. Learn about miracles. Miracles come according to your faith in the Lord. Central to that faith is trusting His will and timetable—how and when He will bless you with the miraculous help you desire. Only your unbelief will keep God from blessing you with miracles to move the mountains in your life.10
The more you learn about the Savior, the easier it will be to trust in His mercy, His infinite love, and His strengthening, healing, and redeeming power. The Savior is never closer to you than when you are facing or climbing a mountain with faith."
