Death

Neal A. Maxwell
All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience
pg 2
God is never suprised....by unexpected arrivals in the spirit world because of unforeseen deaths. But we must always distinguish between God's being able to foresee and His causeing or desiring something to happen, a very important distinction!

The Veil Helps Us Use Our Agency!


Neal A Maxwell 
All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience
 pg 1
But mercifully the veil is there! It is fixed by the wisdom of God for our good. It is no use our being irritated with the Lord over that reality, for it is clearly a condition to which we agreed so long ago. Even when the veil is parted briefly, it will be on His terms, not ours. Such partings of the veil happen, of course, but in private settings and often with instructions or needed reassurances to expedite God's work and always to reward faith - not to moot faith. ....... We are cocooned, as it were in order that we might truly choose. Once, long ago, we chose to come to this very setting where we could choose. It was an irrevocable choice! And the veil is the guarantor that that choice will be honored.

Selfishness


The Dog In The Manger

A DOG lay in a manger, and by his growling and snapping prevented the oxen from eating the hay which had been placed for them. "What a selfish Dog!" said one of them to his companions; "he cannot eat the hay himself, and yet refuses to allow those to eat who can."

Aesop's Fables

Dream Big!

Your dream is not big enough if it doesn't scare you.
