Government


I believe that government is a job, just like any other job. Jobs help everything run smoothly. Government's job isn't to rule over or be better than the people, they are part of the people. Government's job is to support the law, and enforce the law.

Government has been growing and becoming more and more worldly, and part of competition.
I've never really been interested in government. I don't fully understand it, but who really does? Who understands everyone's specific jobs in the world. I believe, as I said before, that government is a job, just like being a plumber, electrician, military, or any essential job. These jobs help everything run the way they should.

Comparing this to nature, you NEED predators as well as prey. If you take part of nature away then things do not work, there are terrible consequences.

My personal opinion is this:
If we had ONE righteous ruler, we would have the best form of government.
Ours is the way it is today for lack of perfection,evil men, and power seekers; it keeps men in CHECK, and doesn't allow too much power into one man's hands.

Miracles

Miracles do not create faith. Trials create faith. Miracles confirm it.

Confusion


CONFUSION

By Autumn Eads

Confusion is an interesting thing.

It comes and goes.

We feel we understand things…but then we find more to learn about.

We can never stop learning.

Never stop growing.

We need to realize this.

Grasp the meaning of the unknown.

We can be knowledgeable.

We need to keep searching

Keep asking questions.

Embracing our confusion.



We will never be thought of as STUPID, or DUMB, if we continue to learn! :)

"Let there be peace in not knowing all the answers." —Cheryl Richardson

Light

"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light."

Isn't it stunning? Everything God has given us? Especially the opportunity to help each other grow and learn.

Let it be a good seed.


Our doubts are TRAITORS, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

Our minds will return what we plant in them.

Let it be a good seed. (Alma 32)

Nature


Unfurling Nature
By Autumn Eads

We see nature everyday.
We go past and don't stop and see.
The beautiful sky, the flowers in may
the grass, trees and mountains;all creation, even me.

If only we noticed and took great pride.
For the bees,bugs, and rainbows out there.
The seasons are changing and opening wide.
So open your eyes, and care.

Be grateful and take care of this earth. Nature is beautiful, notice, and give thanks. :)
