War of Words and Tumult of Opinions

Corona virus has us all confused - 

schools closed, jobs, hand washing, social distancing - what is too much?  

Is it even helping?  Is it really needed?  

I love this scripture - and especially the answer:

James 1:5  "Ask Of God"  there is peace and direction.

The Heavens are Open by Wendy W Nelson

5 stars!
I first had a subscription to Deseret book Audio books and listened to this book.  Immediately I was drawn in - and easily finished it.  
How much did I enjoy it?  Well, I've now bought the book and shared it with several friends. It's short, full of stories and left me changed - left me thinking and doing things a little bit different - better.
She has such a wonderful way of just "talking" to you.  She is humble, yet strong in her speech.  She is truly amazing and I learned so much!  
One of my favorite Chapters was 8.  Below is a quote from that chapter.  
Enjoy:)

5 WEEK COUNTDOWN to GENERAL CONFERENCE

HAVE FUN COUNTING DOWN 

TO 

GENERAL CONFERENCE:

it's all free

I plan to do this with my family and the sisters I minister to, and a close friend or two:)

i THOUGH IT WAS TIME FOR A LITTLE FUN

Simply stop by their homes each Sunday or Monday for the next 5 weeks 

and drop off a little something that goes with the FIRST VISION.  

Here are some ideas I had:

• 1st WEEK - GIVE THEM A BOOKMARK OR LARGER - of the COUNTDOWN - and then something FIRST VISION THEMED
• Make Heart Shaped SUGAR COOKIES with the QUOTE CARD:
  
• Eye Spy GAME:  Make these easy Golden Plates (one for each member of their family) they can play the game and have a little set of plates to keep)  these are made with FIMO clay - no kneading required - I simply cut the square in 4, then trimed each square to a rectangle and used the trimmed off edge as the binding for the book.  Now take a sharp knife, press pages indents on the side, squiggles on the top - and bake 20 min.!!!  DONE!! - FAST< EASY!!
• 
• With the Golden Plates you could leave this QUOTE CARD
  
• Copy a few First Vision ARTICLES or STORIES from February and March New Era's and Ensigns - they are pack full of good ones!!
• Give a 5x7 First Vision PICTURE (15 cents at Deseret book!)
  
• TREAT with a QUOTE:  Powerades, Spearimint Gum(find at dollar store), Sprite and York Mint candies
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Give a CANDLE- representing the Light that Joseph saw exactly over his head, and also the light we feel as we too ask of God and receive light and revelation
• Also...You can share your testimony, make cinnamon rolls (for the role Joseph Smith played in bringing about the sweet Retoration), listen to a FIRST VISION PODCAST together, copy Pres. the skies the limit!  Have fun:)

• I Love Sister Nelson's book - so I am copying them a CHAPTER 8: Take a Question to General Conference - and giving my sisters this to read  with the ASK OF GOD QUOTE card!
