<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am no longer posting to this blog. I started it when I was called to be the Relief Society President of the Kalispell 3rd Ward...I have since been released and moved to another state.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you for your thoughts. I do not know if I will start another one or not. This blog served its purpose during those wonderful years I was in the Kalispell 3rd Ward.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps, one day, I will have a reason to begin another one. I LOVED doing this and it brought great joy to me...to share some wonderful articles, pictures of events, etc.</span><br />

<h1>
Satan’s Attack on Women</h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="writtenby"><a href="http://ldsmag.com/author/larry-barkdull"><span id="writtenby">By Larry

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Something happened in the Garden of Eden
that defined the battlefront of the continuing war between good and evil. What
is the battlefront? The woman and her children. They became Satan’s primary
targets, which prompted God to set up a safety net.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">After Adam and Eve had partaken of the
forbidden fruit, the Father and the Son appeared to halt Satan in his
diabolical scheme to lead the man and the woman to the Tree of Life. Had this
first couple partaken of that fruit, they would have lived forever in their
sins and become subject to the devil forever, and because God had decreed that
they would die, He would have become a liar and ceased to be God.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901" name="_ednref1"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref1;"></span>[i] Satan is forever trying to destroy us
and wrest the kingdom from God.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The Father foresaw this crisis and made
immediate provision to thwart Satan’s designs and corral him into a limited
space. Notice the Father’s language as He rebukes Satan: “And I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed.”<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901" name="_ednref2"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref2;"></span>[ii] </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">We note with interest that Adam is not
mentioned here. The woman and her children are the Father’s concern, suggesting
that He has anticipated the object of Satan’s attack. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Satan had previously leveled an assault on
the woman. When she was separated from her husband (never a good idea for any
couple), the devil beguiled her to partake of the forbidden fruit. Of course,
we are told in the record that Satan “knew not the mind of the Lord” or how
this event would work to divine purposes. Nevertheless, Satan’s plan was to
“destroy the world”<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901" name="_ednref3"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref3;"></span>[iii] by first
destroying the woman; his intention was to make her life miserable by waging an
all-out war on her and her children. Gratefully, the Father stepped in and
placed enmity between the woman, her seed and the devil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Then the Father set up boundaries for the
enmity. Although Satan would be permitted to bruise Eve’s children, a Child
would emerge from her seed that would bruise and conquer the devil.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901" name="_ednref4"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref4;"></span>[iv] That Child, of course, was Jesus
Christ. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Satan knew something that we should
understand: If he could defeat the woman and remove her out of her place, he
could win the war; but if he left her alone, he was doomed. Why? Because she
had the power to bring forth the promised Child along with other righteous
children to crush his head.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901" name="_ednref5"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref5;"></span>[v]
Therefore, Satan took direct aim at the woman to make her as miserable as
possible. He strategy was twofold: attack her head-on and attack her through
her children. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">John the Revelator understood the
battlefront of the war, and, borrowing the woman-child metaphor, he described a
horrific war that would be wrought with “bruising” and would culminate with the
complete overthrow of Satan. Personalizing the scripture from the Church to the
woman, we read how John portrays the battle waged on sisters and their children
and how God protects them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">From the beginning, Satan has zeroed in on
the woman and her children. Now John backtracks and shows us how and where this

<div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background: white;">
<span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">The language in these verses is fascinating. Satan wages
relentless, all-out war on the woman and her seed, but God gives her power the
power of flight, a secure shelter and nourishment. How is this accomplished? By
all accounts, God lays the responsibility for the woman and her children’s
welfare on the man. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background: white;">
<span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">After God placed enmity between the woman, her seed and Satan, it
fell to Adam to use his priesthood to protect his wife and family. “The Family:
A Proclamation to the World” uses the following language to define the man’s
obligation to support and protect his wife and her children from Satan’s

<span style="background: white; color: #39362d; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%;">By divine design, fathers are to preside over
their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the
necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily
responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred
responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as
equal partners.</span></span></div>

<span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">Perhaps no population has ever been so oppressed or abused as
women. One need only survey history and to observe cultures to recognize how
successful Satan has been in waging his war on women. Often they have had no
voice; frequently, they were viewed as second-class citizens and servants, not
equals, to their husbands. They have been demeaned, exploited, mistreated: they
have even become the sexual object of men who are carnal, sensual and devilish. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%; background: white;">
<br /></div>
<span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">From the
beginning, God’s safety net for the woman is the Priesthood: first, her kind
and righteous husband, second, the Priesthood within her extended family, and
third, the Priesthood community in which she lives. Her husband is to provide
for her and her children the “necessities of life” and protect her children.
These necessities and protection exceed the temporal; spiritual necessities and
protection are equally required. </span></span><br />
<span class="text"><span style="background: yellow; color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: yellow;">Her safety net of the Priesthood</span></span><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">--her husband, her
family, and the community of Priesthood in her ward—are charged to shoulder the
responsibility of watching over the woman and her children. Indeed, we are told
that the gospel in its purity makes specific requirement to care for the woman
and her children who are under attack from Satan: “</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">Pure religion and undefiled before God
and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901" name="_ednref10"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _ednref10;"></span>[x]</span><br />

<span class="text"><span style="background: yellow; color: black; font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: yellow;">My purpose in writing this
article is not to suggest that women are weak and need coddling. On the
contrary, women historically have proven exceptionally strong and valiant. My
purpose is not to suggest that women could not stand against Satan or protect
her children from his attacks. One need only read the testimonies of the
Stripling Warriors to show how powerful is a mother’s protection. My purpose is
not to suggest that men are less immune than women from Satan’s fiery darts.
Clearly, the devil can wage vicious blows to either gender. However, it seems
apparent that God foresaw that Satan’s war would specifically be waged against
the woman and her children, so He made special provision by giving the
Priesthood the responsibility to provide for and safeguard them.</span></span></div>

two basic means</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt;">. First,
it tells in a plain manner of Christ and His gospel. It testifies of His
divinity and of the necessity for a Redeemer and the need of our putting trust

doctrines and lays down contention. (see 2 Ne. 3:12) <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">It fortifies the humble followers of Christ
against the evil designs, strategies and doctrines of the devil in our day.</span>
The type of apostates in the Book of Mormon are similar to the type we have
today. God, with his infinite foreknowledge, so molded the Book of Mormon that <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">we might see the error and know

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How to Make Homemade Noodles</span></h1>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<h1>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Homemade noodles are much easier to make than you think --
and you don't even need a pasta machine (though you can use one if you like). </div>
It's true: Homemade noodles take more time to prepare than store-bought. But
they reward cooks (and their lucky guests) with fresher, richer, better-tasting
noodles to serve with all kinds of dishes -- pot roast, beef stroganoff,
chicken and noodles, Swedish meatballs, braised meats, casseroles, and more.<br />
<b>Homemade American Noodles vs. Other Pastas</b><br />
From the cellophane noodles of China
to soba noodles in Japan to
the scores of pasta shapes available in Italy, noodles come to the table in
many countries around the world. What makes North American noodles (found in or
served with classic comfort foods like chicken and noodles) different is that
they are often enriched with egg or egg yolks. They can be cut long or short,
thick or thin, but -- thanks to the egg quotient -- they're among the richest
noodles around.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1337815438022553901"><span style="text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="mso-ignore: vglayout;"></span></span></a></div>
<b>Rolling Pin or Pasta Machine?</b><br />
The easiest way to get homemade noodles to the desired thickness (which is
pretty thin!) is by passing the dough through a pasta machine. If you are nuts
about homemade noodles, you might want to invest in a pasta machine. However,
you can use a rolling pin instead. It just takes a little more work.<br />

<b>Tip:</b> The dough will be sticky at this
point. That's OK; it will become smooth as you knead it.</div>

<b>6. To Cook Homemade Noodles</b><br />
You can use homemade noodles whenever hot cooked noodles are called for.
Here's how to cook them for serving and for adding to recipes:<br />
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l7 level1 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Fill a large pot with 3
quarts water. Bring the water to boiling; if desired, add 1 teaspoon salt.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l7 level1 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Add noodles a few at a time
so the water does not stop boiling. (This also prevents the noodles from sticking
together).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l7 level1 lfo8; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Reduce the heat slightly and
boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until
the pasta is al dente (flexible but still slightly firm at the center).</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-left: 41.75pt;">
<b>Tip:</b> Be sure to test often for doneness
near the end of cooking time -- fresh noodles can go from stiff to perfect to
overly soft in a matter of seconds.</div>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo9; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;">Drain the noodles in a <a href="http://www.bhg.com/shop/kitchen/cooking-tools-and-gadgets/colanders-and-strainers-a3052.html">colander</a>,
giving them a good shake to remove all the water.</li>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">During the 2012 presidential campaign, that
awesomely deep well of perpetual wisdom, Alec Baldwin, proclaimed that if
Barack Obama were not black, his vote total would have been 20 percent higher.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">
People of real intelligence realize that the opposite was probably true: if he had
been white, his vote total would have been 20 percent lower. The
African-American voting bloc combined with enough whites suffering from liberal
guilt guaranteed a higher vote total for Obama.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The truth of the matter is, if Mitt Romney
had not been a Mormon, his vote total might very well have been significantly
higher.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In fact, according to a Galup poll released
in June of last year, while 4 percent of people said they would not vote for a
black president, a full 22 percent said they would not vote for a Mormon.
In fact, only atheists and gays ranked higher. So Baldwin
probably had it backwards, which he usually does, so that comes as no surprise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">What did come as a surprise to me is why
people would have such negative views of Mormons. I have known lots of
them in my life, and in most cases they have been hard-working, kind, generous,
family-oriented people—just the kind of people this country used to value (and
maybe that’s the problem right there.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Mormons have intrigued me ever since Mike
Huckabee back in 2007 claimed that Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are
brothers. With the recent election over, I decided <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD5">to check</span></span> out Mormons a bit more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My hope in doing this was to explain to
readers who Mormons are and whether or not 22 percent of the people were
justified in opposing having a Mormon president.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">But instead I’m going to share an intriguing
bit of Mormon theology I learned that I think makes them perhaps the most
politically wise human beings on the planet. Ironically, this story stems
from that Huckabee quote about the relationship between Jesus and the devil,
but the lesson to be learned is one that, regardless of our political or
religious views, we would all be wise to consider.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So here’s what I learned: Mormons, unlike
most other Christian sects, believe that all humans lived a life before
mortality. They call this the pre-existence or pre-earth life. At
birth a veil is placed over our minds so that we don’t remember it (you’ll see
why in a minute).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In this pre-earth life, we were all in the
presence of God as His spirit children. Jesus was there—the first-born of
God’s spirit children, and a leader in the councils in Heaven. Lucifer
was also there, and was another leader among the children of God. He was
called a “son of the morning.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At some point in this existence, the Father
called all of His children together to explain how things <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD1">worked</span></span>. All of His children would have to leave
His presence and come to earth for a period of testing. The goal was to
see if we would live a righteous life even when we had to live by faith, as we
would no longer be able to remember God or heaven (that’s the reason for the veil).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If we would live a righteous life, we would
be given the opportunity <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD3">to return</span></span>
and live with God forever. Otherwise we would forfeit that chance,
because no unclean thing can live in God’s presence. However, God knew
that we would all make mistakes, so he would provide a Savior for the
world. This Savior would live a sinless life, and because of that, he
would qualify to pay for the sins of the world through what would be called the
“Atonement.” If people would sincerely repent of their sins, then the
Atonement would essentially erase their sins, and they could still <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD7">return</span></span> and live with God. The
Father called for volunteers to be this savior, and two stepped forward: Jesus
and Lucifer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lucifer said that he would be the savior and
he would force everybody to live righteously, thus guaranteeing that all of
God’s spirit children would return to Him in heaven. Jesus said that He
would follow the Father’s plan and allow God’s children their free
agency. They could choose for themselves whether to live righteously and
take <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD4">advantage</span></span> of the
Atonement or whether to live in sin and forfeit the opportunity to return and
live with God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">God rejected Lucifer’s plan, causing Lucifer
to rebel and declare war on God. One-third of God’s spirit children
joined Lucifer in this rebellion. In the end, the rebellion failed and
Lucifer and his followers were cast out of heaven. They came to earth
without bodies and now, continuing the war they started in heaven, they tempt
men to do evil to one another and lose out on the chance to return to God.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">PAY ATTENTION HERE; THIS IS THE GOOD PART</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, any traditional Christians reading this
will see similarities to their own belief system. Most traditional
Christians believe that Lucifer lived in heaven as an angel, but then declared
war on God and was cast out. However, the causes for that war are not
necessarily clear in traditional <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD6">Christian
theology</span></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">That is where Mormon theology is so
intriguing. For Mormons, the greatest of all battles, the war in heaven,
was fought over <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD2">LIBERTY</span></span>—or as they call it,
“free agency.” Lucifer wanted to take it away, while God demanded that
humans have it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Although a Mormon might balk at my making
comparisons between their religious beliefs and modern politics (and as I said
earlier, every Mormon I’ve ever known was a very good person, so I apologize to
any I offend), I see a direct correlation here. For a Mormon, the battle
for liberty is not unique to this life; it is the core battle of the
ages. Lucifer lost the war in heaven (he really thought he could beat
God?), but the war continues on earth. So seeing the government become
more and more tyrannical is not just a political concern; it’s a fundamental,
eternal concern.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I’m inspired by this Mormon theological
idea: God intended for humans to be free to make our own choices and live with
the consequences of those choices. The Founding Fathers of this country
said essentially the same thing in the <span class="ilad"><span id="IL_AD8">Declaration
of Independence</span></span>:</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My study of Mormonism has not only given me
newfound respect for this people and their religion; it has also made me
evaluate my own attitude towards the liberty that seems to be slipping through
all of our fingers. Is this just something that is nice to have, and for
which I thank the Founding Fathers? Or is it really something that is
endowed by God, and that He expects me to fight for. According to Mormon
theology, I already fought for this once. The fact that I’m here says
that I was on God’s side in the war in heaven, and fought for liberty.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A Mormon might ask, why should any of us be
less willing to fight for it here than we were there?</span></span><br />
