11-14-11 Gandhi v.s. Captian Moroni


11-14-11          

As these truths of not controlling others and expecting a specific outcome are sinking down into my heart.  I’ve been trying to figure out what this looks like for me as a parent.  In combination with “He did deliver me from bondage”, yesterday I read in Thomas Jefferson Education, Companion book.  In my home-schooling program, this allowing paradigm is also the foundation.   I am beginning to see what it means to invite and allow; to gently ask but not force.  There is much of the “force” paradigm in me.   I am trying to figure out how to change my very character to one that invites with love.  Maybe this in itself is a life-time pursuit.


The Higher Law



After having read this, I feel rest assured that there is a time to defend my life and my family.  God would surly honor the one who chose as the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s to prostrate themselves before their enemies.  However, for the sake of our children and the generations that must remain to prepare the earth for the Second Coming of the Savoir, I have come to settle on ecclesiastics “There is a time to kill and a time to heal…” 


I whole heartedly feel that we should not have any contempt or anger for others, even if they are trying to kill us.  I believe there is a time to use words in the war of “principalities and powers”, and that this is that time.  In this last General Conference, the opening prayer he prayed that the WORD might have a greater effect on the minds of the people than anything else.  I fully agree that this is that time to pull out all our weapons of faith, hope and love (not of fear, urgency, or anger) that we may sweep the great and spacious building one last time before it crashes to the ground like the Twin Towers did on”9-11”.  I speak of the non-violent resistance taught by Gandhi.  Now is not the time to stir up hearts to anger.  It is the time to settle and resolve firmly and surely on the truth; to decide what we can do and do it. 


Every living soul born to the earth at this time has a purpose and reason for being here.  It is not coincidence.  God had a plan for allowing us to be born right now in history.  It is each of our responsibility to find out what that purpose is and do it, regardless of what anyone else may say or do.  We are accountable to God, not man.  Let no man cause thee fear, only what God can do.
