    great bicycling balance analogy. i taught my kids bicycle balance by telling them to turn in the direction they're starting to fall, then re-center their balance. worked like a charm. when life makes you feel like you're falling, focus on that direction until you re-center your balance (life).

    What an incredible interview. The Lord has called so many phenomenal people to serve in His kingdom, but it’s obvious that their true strength comes from Him. I really appreciated his perspective on the sacrifices that so many make to serve the Lord. What a blessing it is to feel of the Lord’s goodness and strength through these individuals who sacrifice so much to know and serve Him. The Church Educational System is truly a great blessing!

      Thanks for the feedback. I recorded a live interview with Sister Reyna Aburto at the YSA conference two weekends ago and that will be out soon. Also, Central de Libro De Mormon is another Scripture Central Show. It is in Spanish and most guests are Hispanic. You should check it out.

    we sit here talking about the interpreters like they are this significant thing but we have the interpreters today and we dont use them, god that would have been amazing if the interpreters could have been used to decipher Mayan. Also, the liahona is not in the rest of the bom because nephi was one of the last books "translated" just like christ was talked about in the beginning and end but not middle. it is well established that when JS is writing the bom story from middle, end then the beginning. so yeah as he developed the idea that Jesus would come why not add revelations in the beginning of book that jesus would come to the americas, seems prophetic. lol but most importantly lets not forget that in almost 200 years of history we do not know who the lamanites are so whats the point of the book and more importantly whats the point of this church.
