Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

Ponderizing November

It was so neat to see what the family came up with for November  ponderizes. Enjoy the scriptures we pondered and memorized, and the reasons they were chosen.
Melanie...Psalm 18:2
"The Lord is my rock,  and my firtress, and my deliverer; my Gid, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower."
I wanted my family to remember who their rock is.

Nick...Alma 46:12-13
And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it-In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children-and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.
And he fastened on his head-plate, and his shields,  and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the title of liberty) and he bowed himself  to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren,  so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land-
Nick picked this one to honor all the soldiers who have  fought for our nation.

Andy...Ezekiel 20:20
And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that year may know that I am the Lord your God.
Andy wanted to remember  why we focus  on the sabbath being a holy day.

Neil...Isaiah  29-14
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among thus people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Neil wanted us to remember  that the gospel is a marvelous  work and a wonder.
