WALL E

Yesterday afternoon I went with Chad to watch a movie in Viewshow. It's a new animation film from Disneyland. WALL E. At the beginning, I suggested Mummy. But Chad think it is so terrible, we changed finally. It's my first time to go to a commercial theater with my kid. It's not bad. I use the tickets I won from company by riding bicycle in last 2 months. :)

It talked about the love of robot, and the future world with advance technology and huge garbage on earth. WALL E is a robot who recycles the garbage on earth. There are no plants on earth then (AC 2700). The earth is full with garbage, so people at the time live at space station. They don't need to work and don't even to walk, different functions of robot will take care all for them. So that people all become fat, like infant. :D

Just as our days now, the earth is coming worse. We can often think of the similar things. A lot of not well-designed houses were built continuously everywhere. It occupies a lot of fine area and obstructs the original views. Although it seems to bring prosperous and show richness. But the quality of life seems not be increased a lot. It become disorderly, crowder and noisier. So the construction is not always to bring happiness to life, but sometimes garbage maybe. :)

Yes, garbage. How many tons of garbage that people make everyday?

Walk in the Light
President Henry B. Eyring
First Counselor in the First Presidency
You make choices every day and almost every hour that keep you walking in the light or moving away toward darkness.


The fact that you are listening now is evidence that God recognizes your great importance and that you have chosen to walk in the light He offers you. Such choices are not always easy to see clearly. You make choices every day and almost every hour that keep you walking in the light or moving away toward darkness. Some of the most important choices are about what you set your heart upon.

There are so many things you may consider desirable. For instance, all of us want, to some degree, the approval of other people. All of us feel a need for friends. All of us are searching for some evidence that we are persons of worth. We make choices based on those desires. Some might lead us away from the light God offers us as a guide. Some may brighten that light by which we can find our way.

As I look back, I realize that I was unaware of the importance of some of those desires and choices. I wanted to be selected for athletic teams. I wanted to do well in school. I wanted to find good and true friends. And when I made the choices that came from those desires, more than I realized, I was either moving away from the light or toward it.

Some of my achievements and some of my friends were major factors in my sensing light. Others, more than I knew at the time, were edging me away from the light. In important and long-lasting ways, choices I made to satisfy my desires for companionship and a sense of recognition were taking me either toward or away from the light to guide my path.

" Walk in the Light "

.

Last Sunday(2008-8-17), the theme of speech in the sacrement meeting was given as "Walk in the Light". The 3 invited speakers quoted a lot of scriptures. I liked them and tried to record them. After the meeting, I also asked the speaker on the scriptures they shared. Here they are:


John 8:12
12 ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the ^alight of the world: he that followeth me shall not ^bwalk in ^cdarkness, but shall have the light of life.

Mosiah 16:9
He is the ^alight and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death.


D&C 50:24
That which is of God is ^alight; and he that ^breceiveth ^clight, and ^dcontinueth in God, receiveth more ^elight; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.


D&C 88:5-13
5 Which glory is that of the church of the ^aFirstborn, even of God, the holiest of all, through Jesus Christ his Son—

6 He that ^aascended up on high, as also he ^bdescended below all things, in that he ^ccomprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the ^dlight of truth;

7 Which truth shineth. This is the ^alight of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was ^bmade.

8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made;

9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made;

10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you ^astand.

11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your ^aunderstandings;

12 Which ^alight proceedeth forth from the presence of God to ^bfill the immensity of space—

13 The ^alight which is in all things, which giveth ^blife to all things, which is the ^claw by which all things are governed, even the ^dpower of God who ^esitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things.


D&C 84:43-47

43 And I now give unto you a commandment to beware concerning yourselves, to give ^adiligent ^bheed to the words of eternal life.
44 For you shall ^alive by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.

45 For the ^aword of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is ^blight, and whatsoever is light is ^cSpirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

46 And the ^aSpirit giveth ^blight to ^cevery man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.

47 And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit ^acometh unto God, even the Father.

1. (Child)
Teach me to walk in the light of his love;
Teach me to pray to my Father above;
Teach me to know of the things that are right;
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.

2. (Parent)
Come, little child, and together we’ll learn
Of his commandments, that we may return
Home to his presence, to live in his sight
Always, always to walk in the light.

3. (Both)
Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day
For loving guidance to show us the way.
Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight!
Gladly, gladly we’ll walk in the light.

I want a happy family like this one ! :-)

Hi Brother Xie,

It has been a while since I wrote you last. How are things going? That is so awesome to hear you have adopted a child. Congratulations and good for you. I hope you are enjoying Chu Tong. Right now I am working at a pain care center with their operating room crew and I will be going back to school in the Fall at UVU. Life is so wonderful. I attached a picture of my family. We were all together on Sunday. My brother blessed his baby, so we took a picture at the house after. I think you and your family are so awesome. You guys are solid, and I love you all. I hope you have a great day. Stay in touch.

Love,

Steve

喜歡的段落

環顧四周，盡是人群。你在路上和他們擦肩而過，到他們家中拜訪，在他們之間穿梭來往。他們都是神的兒女，也是你的兄弟姊妹。神愛他們，就像祂愛你一樣。許多人在找尋生命的意義。他們關心自己的家人。他們需要歸屬感，能夠知道他們是神的兒女，是祂永恆家庭中的一份子。他們希望在這個價值觀不斷改變的世界中找到安全感。他們希望獲得「今世的平安和來世的永生」(教約59：23)，但是他們「因為不知道在何處去尋找真理而遠離真理」(教約123：12)。

You are surrounded by people. You pass them on the street, visit them in their homes, and travel among them. All of them are children of God, your brothers and sisters. God loves them just as he loves you. Many of these people are searching for purpose in life. They are concerned for their families. They need the sense of belonging that comes from the knowledge that they are children of God, members of His eternal family. They want to feel secure in a world of changing values. They want “peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come”(D&C 59:23), but they are “kept from truth because they know not where to find it”(D&C123:12).
