Seven of Everything

So the other day I was thinking about how bad the rating system currently is. And so I came up with seven areas that I think movies should be rated on. Today movies are rated good, not so good, bad and really bad. Well not exactly but you get the idea. I think each of the seven areas should have positive and negative ratings. Many of you may think that this is over-complicated and it probably is but I think if there were a good better and best mentality for movie ratings then the movie industry might want to out do themselves by making better and better movies instead of worse and worse. And even if that didn't work at least it would give families who are trying to teach correct principles a better view of appropriate movies. 1) Family 2) Agency/Consequence 3) Discipline 4) Authority 5) Body 6) Film Quality 7) God 1 - Movies that promote family as an important unit is needed. Movies that promote family values would get a positive rating and those that promote immorality, divorce, e...

Good digestion results in higher nutritional absorbency which means you don't need to eat as much to get the same nutrients that your body needs. If you are eating healthy and with a proper combination of foods at each meal, you will have little to no digestive problems. Basic signs like bad body odor, bad breath and bad gas are small indications of a bad diet over a long period of time. These signs will eventually be eliminated when a diet is changed allowing for easy digestion. When a person eats a healthy combination of foods, these signs, along with many other bad signs, are eliminated the result is good digestion and great overall health. After studying the digestive system I have put together what I consider to be the complete process of digestion. 1. Anticipation 2. Chewing 3. Immersion 4. Enzymes 5. Mixing 6. Electrolytes 7. Expulsion 1) You need to get your body ready to eat. There are several ways to do this. One is to drink enough water before your meal so it is w...

Recently my coworker, Vivek, showed me an interesting website. It is entirely a math website but it visually explains difficult math concepts. What I wanted to show here was the fourth dimension. There are ten chapters showing at this link. The first four are the ones that focus on the fourth dimension. The website is called Dimensions 1) 3D mapping to a 2D plain 2) 2D lizards understanding 3D space 3) Understanding the 4D objects in 3D space 4) 4D mapping to 3D space Each chapter is 14 minutes long. If you feel like you grasp the fourth dimension after watching these videos please try to help me understand it. I think I started to get the concepts but actually trying to visualize it is very difficult. If your studying complex numbers and want to understand them better the next two chapters may help: 5-6) Complex numbers 7-8) Fibration of 2D space into 3D space 9) Mathematical proof of a sphere 10) Intro to other math principles

The eye opens up the mind to the world around us. But not everyone can see as clearly as others. The most common eye problem in America these days, I believe, is nearsightedness - Myopia. My eyes started going bad in preschool. I think that's when I first needed glasses. A few years later I started asking about methods to reverse my eyes so I wouldn't need glasses. I asked the eye doctors what methods were out there and they told me about the only method that they had heard of - solid black glasses with one pinhole in each lens. I forget what it was supposed to do but she said that it wasn't known to have a high success rate. I remember one time I thought all I needed to do was take off my glasses and focus really hard on something outside of my focus range. I told my parents that I could see the digital clock across my bedroom and I would tell them what time it was. I thought my eyes were improving, so at church I would take off my glasses and try to see the hymn numbers p...

John 3:11 and 32 - "We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen ; ..." In the Lord's Church we say that we know and testify that we have seen the hand of the Lord daily in our lives. We are taught to testify that we know the things that the Spirit has taught us. We believe, until the Spirit testifies, then we know. Also, this gospel is a gospel of events, things that happen; things that have happened, are happening, and will happen. If we have seen a miracle, we testify that we have seen a miracle. If we have seen the hand of the Lord in all things we testify that we have seen it. When prophecy is fulfilled, we testify that we know and have seen. This is the same church as in Christ's day we teach and learn the gospel the same way now as they did then. In the records of the early church there were some philosophers attending a street meeting of the church. They attempted to philosophize with Barnabas but Barnabas stopped them and stated "We come here ...

The principle of God's oneness and unity was had among the early church, was lost, and was restored again through the prophet Joseph Smith. The premise upon which I would like to build here, is that we know that when God gives us a commandment, He will provide a way for us to accomplish that commandment ; for God cannot lie and would not deceive us into thinking that we could accomplish a commandment that He gives, if we could not actually accomplish it. The famous, well known (but assumed by many impossible) commandment is to be perfect . Those who choose to obey this commandment can and will become perfect based on the premise. Jesus said "A disciple is not above his master ; " and so it is. We cannot switch places with God. Satan tried to do this and, as we see in the scriptures, failed miserably . The same result would come upon us should we attempt to do the same. But the Lord continues: "but everyone that is perfect shall be as his master . " That means...

I heard a family scientist say - "Where religious faith is concerned, children do not imitate what they see their parents do, like they imitate language or social behavior; they become what they believe their parents are . " When parents are not living gospel principles in one way or another their children suffer. Some people, as we attempt to teach them the gospel, do not want family relationships to last forever and this because of their own experience in a family deprived of many loving experiences. Many gospel truths were not lived in their families and so they suffer because of it, often for their whole lives. People often have a hard time seeing God able to be a more capable father than their own father. For example some people find it hard to believe in a God who actually loves them and actually cares for their well being because they grew up with a father who lacked these qualities. "Faithlessness takes on a focused hostility when there is mistreatment, indiffere...
