We must pay a price and Atonement

To Araunah, who attempted to give him free oxen and free wood for his burnt offering, King David said, “Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: … [for I] will [not] offer … unto the Lord my God … that which doth cost me nothing.” So too say we all.

CRAP Talk

Sister in Lauren's  ward explained that her family gives her a hard time for using the word "crap". She told her grandson she would not be able to attend a family event because she has missionary crap to do.
So she based her talk on CRAP
C come unto Christ, conversion, choice 
R repentance,  respect
A atonement, awe
P Prophet, peace, piccolo (piccolo is hard to hear; takes effort)

"Where you look is where you will go."

We Are Sowing Hymn- seeds of death and life

By a whisper sow we blessings;
By a breath we scatter strife.
In our words and thoughts and actions
Lie the seeds of death and life.
