My Random Blogging Therapy
We talked about Enoch and how he lived. Zion and how we are flippant with the word and concept. We referenced some incredible conference talks that discuss how we can attain the state Enoch and his people did. Bro. Salmond said scholars estimate the population of Enoch's city was over a million.
He mentioned 3 things we can do to obtain Zion, to live according to the plan of salvation. The 3 things are:
1. Eliminate selfishness
2. Cooperate completely
3. Lay best effort on the altar or sacrifice anything that is asked of us.-time, talents, whatever-magnify our callings.
With eliminating selfishness I was very glad to have just finished getting over my bad feelings because D. Todd Christofferson explained it by quoting the scripture President Uchtdorf kept referencing. Love your enemies, do good to them who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you. Somehow we need to have unity, pure motives-of one heart and one mind with no poor among us.
Those are the qualities that qualify us to dwell with God. We also learned about the Sabaoth or how the Lord will fight our battles for us since he is he both Lord of the Sabbath AND Lord of the Sabaoth.
My friend Sarah was excited to go home and look up those talks. I was excited to see the results of the election. I am sad. President Romney has such a nice ring to it. Now we ALL need to come together as a country.
