Day 9: God's judgment on the wicked rulers of the earth

Secular event: The Ides of March, anniversary of the death of Julius Caesar

Isaiah 14: 5-6, 12-13, 15

The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth...

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Sometimes people will be like let's do a Cinderella retelling which is literally just about how much I hate this fairytale and then to counter it people will say actually core traits of Cinderella are things like soft-spokeness and elegance. Actually the things that really matter for a Cinderella retelling are that a. She endures by maintaining her compassion when her family tries to beat it out of her, b. She is given the opportunity to find joy for one evening and she takes it and it's not deemed selfish and c. Her goodness goes from being demeaned and ignored to being Seen.

Have you heard of Thermophis, a genus of snakes that lives exclusively in hot springs in the cold snowy mountains of Tibet?

it only makes sense! if the geological forces of the earth are going to go around making entire valleys full of hot springs, then evolution is going to fill those springs with snakes the second geological forces' back is turned.

Day 8: Constancy of Christ

Deuteronomy 32: 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

James 1: 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Alma 7: 20 ...he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.

Day 7: The Name of Jesus, Part 2

Christ: From the Greek Khristos meaning 'the anointed,' translation of the Hebrew Messiah or Mashiah

In ancient times, anointing with oil was done to consecrate priests and kings to their office

Isaiah 61: 1-2

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God;

Acts 10:38 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power

1 Nephi 10: 4 Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem, a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews—even a Messiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world.

you’d be surprised how many people appreciate your existence. the people you’re closest to, the people you’ve given a passing compliment or smile, the people you’ve helped out just a little here and there. you’re appreciated even if it’s not said out loud.
