This is the season when all of God's promises of old will finally be realized at last.

It causes people to think and wonder about how good things are going to be,

and other people to cower and fear about how scary the second coming can be.

This has always been the story from the beginning of the restoration, right?

There are ancient covenants, promises that need to be fulfilled.

The Savior really is an active force in the lives of those who allow him to be, and he's helping us through our challenges right now.

The choice to come into Christ is not a matter of physical location.

It's a matter of individual commitment.

Lineage isn't the important thing here. It's righteousness.

Hello, Scott.

Hello, Casey. We're back.

And we're getting close to the end of the Doctrine Covenants. It's, um, it's bittersweet for me.

It's been really fun to do this, but we are getting to like some of the really interesting stuff, too.

And we've gone through some really interesting stuff. Doesn't get more interesting sex 132. I'm kind of feeling a sense of relief this week after having gone through section 132

last week. Seems like it's all downhill from there in terms of controversial and difficult to tackle.

But we got some really interesting stuff for us this week. What an experience last week,

huh? No controversies here except for everything linked to the second coming and the role of government,

which could be really controversial to some people.

But this is kind of a nice palate cleanser, right?

We've been into some intense personal relationships, some heavy historical sections.

And these two are kind of a nice change of pace,

sending us off in a different direction, also reminding us about the big picture stuff.
