26 And because the people did repent of their iniquities and idolatries the Lord did spare them, and they began to prosper again in the land. And it came to pass that Shule begat sons and daughters in his old age.
27 And there were no more wars in the days of Shule; and he remembered the great things that the Lord had done for his fathers in bringing them across the great deep into the promised land; wherefore he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days.
And now begins the wicked then righteous power-hungry ugly Book of Mormon cycles. I'm not sure why Porter asked for someone to go on splits with the sisters on Tuesday at the same time we have our meeting.
I don't care about football ALTHOUGH I was sick of hearing all the crap Richard Sherman from the Seahawks was subjected to because of how he reacted after the game that decided they'd be playing in the Superbowl. When this sweet lady at the temple invited me to her Superbowl party I decided to attend. She had a friend she works with at USU attend with his 4 kids and wife. 2 of her single sons attended as did another lady who works with her. She left early because she started feeling sick.
I was rooting for the Seahawks just because of Sherman. I don't watch football at all on any level. It was fun however to be at a Superbowl party. I don't feel like it detracted from the Sabbath and I attended all of my meetings.
You Can Do It Now - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I have watched men filled with potential and grace disengage from the challenging work of building the kingdom of God because they had failed a time or two. These were men of promise who could have been exceptional priesthood holders and servants of God. But because they stumbled and became discouraged, they withdrew from their priesthood commitments and pursued other but less worthy endeavors.
And thus, they go on, living only a shadow of the life they could have led, never rising to the potential that is their birthright. As the poet lamented, these are among those unfortunate souls who “die with [most of] their music [still] in them.”

Brethren, our destiny is not determined by the number of times we stumble but by the number of times we rise up, dust ourselves off, and move forward.
But there is an important difference between the sorrow for sin that leads to repentance and the sorrow that leads to despair.
