Scripture of the Day" D&C 63:7-11

"7 And he that seeketh signs shall see signs, but not unto salvation.
8 Verily, I say unto you, there are those among you that seek signs, and there have been such even from the beginning;
9 But, behold, faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe.
10 Yea, sign come by faith, not by the will of men, nor as they please, but by the will of God.
11 Yea, signs come by faith, unto mighty works, for without faith no man pleaseth God; and with whom God is angry he is not well pleased; wherefore, unto such he showeth no signs, only in wrath unto their condemnation."

Quote of the Day: Faith-Thomas S. Monson


 [www.mormonquotes.com]

"Should doubt knock at your doorway, just say to those skeptical, disturbing, rebellious thoughts: 'I propose to stay with my faith, with the faith of my people. I know that happiness and contentment are there, and I forbid you, agnostic, doubting thoughts, to destroy the house of my faith. I acknowledge that I do not understand the processes of creation, but I accept the fact of it. I grant that I cannot explain the miracles of the Bible, and I do not attempt to do so, but I accept God's word. I wasn't with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it'."

Quote of the Day

I think a long with the scripture of the day, I'm also going to do an inspirational thought or quote, or something that makes you have to think a little bit. The one I got for today I got from Nikki. [Again, is she not amazing?!?!]

"Worry will not rid tomorrow of its troubles but it will empty today of its strengths."

Finally, there's snow!


Buffalo is known for its crazy weather. Specifically the snow. It's november already, and there hasn't been even a little bit in my area. Which by Buffalo standards, is kind of late. But lo and behold, today it snowed. It isn't sticking, and it most likely wont, but the thought that snow will soon be here to stay for a few months, very much so excites me. I love the snow. The sparkling crystals that fall from the sky. The bright blinding reflection of light it gives from the sun when the clouds go away to hide for awhile. How fond I am of snow. :]

Scripture of the Day D&C 61:36-39

"36 And now, verily I say unto you, and what I say unto one I say unto all, be of good cheer, little children; for I am in your midst, and I have not forsaken you;
37 And inasmuch as you have humbled yourselves before me, the blessings of the kingdom are yours.
38 Gird up your loins and be watchful and be sober, looking forth for the coming of the Son of Man, for he cometh in an hour you think not.
39 Pray always that you enter not unto temptation, that you may abide the day of his coming, whether in lifer or in death. Even so. Amen."

Scripture of the Day: D&C 60:2-3,13

"2 But with some I am not well pleased, for they will not open their mouths, but they hide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. Wo unto such, for mine anger is kindled against them.
3 And it shall come to pass, if they are not more faithful unto me, it shall be taken away, even that which they have.
13 Behold, they have been sent to preach my gospel among the congregations of the wicked; wherefore, I give unto them a commandment, thus: Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent that it may not be known."

"5 Wherefore, I give unto them a commandment, saying thus: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy might, mind, and strength; and in the name of Jesus Christ thou shalt serve him.
9 And that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day;
10 For verily this is a day appointed unto you to rest from your labors, and to pay thy devotions unto the Most High;"
