Here are some notes from a church talk. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– Authority to act on behalf on behalf of God.
– Authority is confirmed power comes from faithful obedience to God’s commandments.
– Have different ordinances such as for aronic 1 pass the sacrament.
– Medecistic priesthood: administrator to the sick.
– Can only be used with Priesthood authority:
– The power and authority to act in the name of God. To represent him.
– The savior organized his church he had apostles. Then the apostasy happened and ma lost the true gospel and true eternity. So, there is a need for restitution.
– The church makes a claim, we are the true church in the world; it is perceived arrogant.
– Restorations of the priesthood Joseph and Oliver Cowdery were doing a translation of the book of Mormon. The lord only revealed things when the prophet joseph asked. Day in May they went through 3rd Nephi and came across baptism. He went down to the river to pray about it. Joh Baptist appeared. They get the Aaronic priesthood. They are told to baptize each other.
– A month later, they got the Melchizedek priesthood from peter James and john.
– This is the beginning of the prophet joseph allowed him to organize the church .organize the quorum of the 12 and to finish the translations of the book of Mormon.
– The thing that makes us different from other churches is we have the author of Jesus Christ.
– Joseph had the saints’ move to Kirtland Ohio.
– The greatest challenge of the church will be when we live with affluence. The coffers are filling we’re building temples. A lot of us have our needs taken care of.
– In Kirtland the church as poor. April 3rd, 1836: the Kirtland temple was finished. The savior appeared to Joseph and Oliver. I accept this house. Followed by Moses and bestows the keys of the gathering of Israel. Elias gives Joseph the dispensations of the gospel of Abraham. Elijah comes and gives the sealing power to Joseph and Oliver.
– Herald b lee; if nothing else had happened the delivery of those key justified the building of Kirtland temple had serviced its purpose.
– Remember the importance of this priesthood. It is one of the foundations of our religion. It is a common gift of every home is a priesthood holder.
– 1976 President Kimball came to work on organizing the first stake in Paris. They had missionaries as his bodyguards.
– The priesthood is a wonderful organization. It is the power of God. We have it in our homes. Use it. Remain worthy so you can use it.

These are continued notes from a political meeting in highland in the early part of February. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker. This is a submission to Caucus corner.

Good: initiative
Bad: inititve

I’VE got initiatIVE. We’ll see if this works. First, the word I’ve is at the end of the word. There are also four Is. When you pronounce it there is an A in there. The A follows the 3rd I as it to introduce the I’ve in I’ve got InItIatIve.

Have a better idea. Please share it if you do.

Presentation at toastmasters.

– Morgan asked her to do a speech on this. Now that he is gone she will do it. He wanted her to do a speech on stories. The key to a story is to start in a direction and then you twist it. Many of her stories are for children. Would like three examples of when a child does a chore and it goes wrong. Does the kid want to do the chore? No.
– Siblings What could be a device where some interaction with a sibling goes bad. Brother borrowed skinny jeans when he was in skater phase. Snitching, fighting over the TV.
What about a sibling that wants to help blow up balloons. Does older brother want help from a younger sister when friends are around? No. My older brother could do three things he could do, he could blow it up, hold the lips and let it fly all around the rooms, the second thing my brother could do is blow the balloon up, hold the lips and make it sing. What’s the best way to get rid of the little sister. He let her blow up the balloon and instead she blows up her head. Mom’s Rules
– Think about Location, Motivation, and complication to make the story work.

– This year there are bills on the protection of religious liberty.
– Bill: if a confession to a clergy member it will be a crime if clergy does not notify police it will be a crime. The sponsor thought the right of children is greater than the confessor. Natural laws and natural laws precede the constitution. Institutional issues then we have the law. Rep said it will tilt the balance. Proposed that religious leaders not be liable in volunteer and won’t be sued. She was upset and not accept the alternative plan. Later came back and democrat said it was a good suggestion. You need to give a good reason why an alternative might be better. It can be sometimes accepted between opposing forces.
