Hello everyone, welcome to Follow Him Favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm here with my friend John by the way

We are the host of a podcast called Follow Him and

Every week we do a little snippet called Follow Him Favorites where we get to choose one thing out of this week's lesson

To focus on we're here with the incredible Dr. Alex Baugh this week. Welcome Alex

Thank you very much. Yeah, so let's take a look at the lesson its sections

121 122 and 123 John you get to go first what your follow him favorite

Well again, it's always hard to pick something but I love at the very close of 123 this little metaphor

Which I think Joseph Smith uses there's maybe got it from the book of James the footnotes there

But he said you know brotheran that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm

Now you know Hank I love to talk about my dad. He was on an aircraft carrier in World War II

And that is a very large ship, but it has a rudder

We are living in a time of storms and winds and waves and look listen to how this verse finishes

A large ship has benefited very much by very small helm in the time of a storm

By being kept to workways with the wind and the waves

And when you have a helm you have a rudder it implies you've got a course a destination a purpose

You know where you're going and it's funny when I I have a canoe in my garage and that's usually what it does

It just hangs in my garage

But this the safest thing to do if you encounter a big wave in a canoe

The safest thing to do you probably know this is to go right at it

If you try to go sideways it'll it'll tip you over

But if you have a course a destination a purpose you are kept workways with the wind and the waves

Without that you're nothing but driftwood
