JESUS WAS BAD TO THE BONE, BUT HUMBLE

 Last Sunday we talked of heroes.  Mine are any of those who buck the system.  This seems to be the bar for passing the Millennial test - in that we tell the beast system to go to hell where it belongs, where most of the world just cozies up like Beauty did…

Jesus bucked the corrupt system, but kept the proscribed portion of the Law perfectly, as He was the author of it.  He rejected the pomp, the outward displays, but was diligent in what mattered.  He neither went too far (beyond the mark), nor did He fall short.  He nailed it and showed us the way.

This is our goal.  Not the fluffy platitudes we are dosed with over the pulpit in a state-controlled manner, but real examples of manliness combined with meekness and faith.

This is the Washingtonian model that they do not want you to emulate, for the Priesthood would rise up and throw 

President Ballard is Dead

 Well, this is not surprising.  He looked and acted frail when he last spoke and it looked as if he were giving his farewell sermon:

It will be interesting to see what happens to the remaining three senior members of the 12/15.

Time really is short, based on the previous blog article and based on the health of those three people.

A DREAM ENTRY - ABILITY TO MOVE ABOUT AS A TRANSLATED BEING

This is more of a journal entry than anything.  No doctrine here; just musings.

For years, I have had dream scenarios where I can fly or move through space just by the power of thought.  Those have always been my favorite dreams.  I do not move quickly, but can will myself to overcome the elements.

More recently, I have been having dreams where I have been able to breathe under water.  I do not like water, so that was a little freaky to learn to do, but I overcame my natural inhibitions and was able to successfully do it.  A few nights ago, I was able to begin to move through objects.  Very cool feeling.  I just had to will myself to do it, just as with overcoming gravity and other corporeal confines that we have become accustomed to.  In this dream state, I was so interested in showing this ability to others.  A few had faith and, upon seeing us working on our newly-acquired skills, were able to experience these abilities for themselves.

Some of my earliest memories as a young child were of extraordinary abilities that, over time, were batted down by skeptical adults.  I really feel that we come to this earth trailing glory and with great knowledge and power that are all dulled and inactivated over time until we are just a fraction of what we once were (but with a body).

Soon, we will have that experience.  We have no conception of how glorious the terrestrial existence will be!
