"Stand in Holy Places"


The Young Women's Theme this year is one that really applies to all of us:





Do we really think about what this means?
Are we continually trying to stay the line, or do we try to justify it's widening to adapt to what we want to partake of in the World?

Just a thought to ponder.

Even small things like seemingly innocent choices in clothing, movies, books, magazines or other forms of media and entertainment can cause the line to start to widen until without our even noticing, it can become a deep chasm.

We should continually do our best to be prepared for the coming of our Savior.

Wherefore, stand ye in holy places and be not moved until the day of the Lord come;
For behold, it cometh quickly saith the Lord. 
D&C 87:8

Here is the beautiful video from the 
General Young Women's meeting held on 
March 30th this year.

Let us all aspire to get to the place where we can say with strong conviction as Sister Ann M. Dibb, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency in an October 2012 conference address said:

Book of Mormon Class / Alma 54-55

Taught by Sue G.



It's so comfy cozy meeting at Sue's house to chat and study the Book of Mormon!
If you haven't been yet, come and join us.
It's awesome!!


Alma 54-55



These two chapters begin a word for word account of an epistle sent from Moroni to Ammoron negotiating for an exchange of prisoners and demanding that the Lamanites withdraw and cease their attacks.  In answer, Ammoron demands that the Nephites lay down their weapons and become subject to the Lamanites.  Moroni refuses these terms.  He entices the Lamanite guards to become drunk and the Nephite prisoners are freed.  The city of Gid is captured without any bloodshed.  Alma 55:19

We can learn by the stupidity of the Lamanites.



President James E. Faust warned. "Over my lifetime, I have seen some of the most choice, capable, and righteous of men stumble and fall.  They have been true and faithful for many years and then get caught in a web of stupidity and foolishness which has brought great shame to themselves and betrayed the trust of their innocent families, leaving their loved ones a legacy of sorrow and hurt.  My dear brethren, all of us, young and old, must constantly guard against the enticements of Satan... We must choose wisely the books and magazines we read, the movies we see, and how ewe use modern technology, such as the Internet." 

One moment of weakness can lead to our demise.
