Show Page March the lAuGhiNg pOiNIU 1k, DOG REPORT At the main gate of Brigham Young University (BYU), on the left side it says, "Enter to learn," and on the right side it says, "Go forth to serve." How fitting since, isn't that our purpose in life? We are here to enter to learn so we can go forth and serve, in our earth life; we also have this selfesteem building experience as a side effect. Self-esteem is merely only how you feel about yourself and it certainly does fluctuate with circumstances. Yet, the Savior has told us that the worth of a human soul doesn't fluctuate and does not depend on the circumstances we find ourselves in. As mortals, we have a human natural tendency that self-esteem and worth are equivalent or the same thing and they're not. Worth doesn't change. Heavenly Father has declared that the worth of a human soul is infinite; it is already complete. How we feel about our self, our selfesteem, again, will fluctuate depending upon what is going on in our life.. We may not feel good about ourselves, but that has nothing to do and does not devalue human worth. Human beings tend to put a price or value on our soul wherein Heavenly Father has already declared it priceless. The divine has put a price tag on you and put "priceless human being," but you scratch that out and put a lower price on it. One of the purposes of our existence is to continually seek and acquire light and knowledge and our earth life is part of the process of gaining all knowledge. What being are you aware of that is like that? As we humbly pursue gaining knowledge and light through our earthly experience of trials and tribulations one of the greatest gratitude's to God is that we become like Him. I hope that you and I are in the pursuit of being omniscient; all knowing and aware so that we can use that knowledge and do everything. As you continue on your journey to enter to learn and go forth to serve remember that you are "priceless" and that Heavenly Father may even be saying to you, "Hey, guys, watch closer because it's going to be bitter, but walk the path and pass it and we'll facilitate growth and the transformation of your soul."

After the reports were all turned in, the teacher called one of the youngsters up to her desk and scolded him. "This report on 'My Dog' is exactly, word for word, the same as your brother's. Did you copy from him?" He replies, "No Ma'am. It's about the same dog." VIP IMPRESSION My husband was once employed in the printing division of a large manufacturing firm. One morning, word came from the top that some visiting VIPs would be touring the plant in just a few minutes. All production was immediately shut down as employees scrambled to quickly tidy up the work place. When the appointed lookout yelled, "Here they come!" fifty fingers that were poised over fifty machine start-up buttons pressed down in unison and blew every fuse in the building. POISONED APPLE When my daughter was three, we watched Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs for the first time. The wicked queen appeared, disguised as an old lady selling apples, and my daughter was spellbound. Then Snow White took a bite of the poisoned apple and fell to the ground unconscious. As the apple rolled away, my daughter spoke up. "See, Mom. She doesn't like the skin either." GARAGE DOORS J. Andrew And/Car'yJudkii (Lk Are Plewed/ To-Arutaunce, The Marriage Of Theis- Daughter ANGRY SENATOR A member of the Senate, known for his hot temper and acid tongue, explodes one day in mid session and begins to shout, "Half of this Senate is made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!" All the other Senators plead to the angry member that he withdraw his statement, or be removed from the remainder of the session. After a long pause, the angry member accepted. "Ok" he said, "I withdraw what I said. Now I will go on the record and state that half of this Senate is NOT made up of cowards and corrupt politicians!" 24 HOUR SERVICE Needing some clothes cleaned in a hurry, a man searched the small Georgia town in which he was visiting until he found a sign which read: "Cleaning and Pressing, 24-Hour Service." After explaining his needs, he said, "I'll be back for my suit tomorrow." "Won't be ready until Saturday," replied the proprietor. "But I thought you had 24-hour service," the customer protested. "We do, son," the proprietor said reproachfully. "But we only work eight hours a day. Today's Thursday - eight hours today, eight hours Friday, eight on Saturday. That's 24-hour service."
