Too Many Blorbo thoughts for main

“By sending such an unexpected deliverer, God taught us about true deliverance. To save us from oppression and affliction, God sent One who Himself “was oppressed, and … afflicted.” Where some expected a lion, He sent a lamb. Surely, God’s ways are not our ways. Jesus Christ frees us not by just opening the prison but by taking our place there. He relieves us from our chains of grief and sorrow by bearing them Himself. He does not save us from a distance. He suffers with us, in an act of “everlasting kindness” that “shall not depart from thee” (Isaiah 54:8, 10).

Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When with a wounded heart, anger, or malice,
I draw myself apart,
Searching my soul?
Where, when my aching grows,
Where, when I languish,
Where, in my need to know, where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand?
He, only One.
He answers privately,
Reaches my reaching
In my Gethsemane, Savior and Friend.
Gentle the peace he finds for my beseeching.
Constant he is and kind,
Love without end.

“Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, … lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace.”
-Ezra Taft Benson

When Victor Hugo said To love another person is to see the face of God, and Dostoevsky said To love someone means to see them as God intended them and The more you succeed in loving, the more you'll be convinced at the existence of God and the immortality of your soul.

Found in a book
In this latest installment of Found in a book, we recently discovered a newspaper page placed in a copy of Reminiscences of an astronomer (1903) by Simon Newcomb.
This newspaper clipping is a real gem! It’s about Mrs. Elizabeth Brown Davis (1863-1917), an astronomical mathematician. After some research, and reading this newspaper page, we discovered that Davis graduated with a B.S. from Columbian University (now George Washington University) in D.C. and later did her post-graduate work at Johns Hopkins University in mathematics. This work was done with special permission from faculty and allowed her to study freely, though she was unable to graduate with a degree due to her being a woman.
Davis became a computer in the Nautical Almanac Office at the U.S. Naval Observatory and assisted in the preparation of Simon Newcomb’s (hey, that’s where the connection is!) Tables of the Sun and Planets. She was a member of the American Mathematical Society, Circolo Matematico di Palermo, and the Auxiliary Board of Regents of Trinity College. Aside from her work with Newcomb and the NAO, she also completed work on comet orbits and proof-read textbooks on mathematics. Davis died in April of 1917.

Alma 58:10-11
“10 Therefore we did pour out our souls in prayer to God, that he would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, yea, and also give us strength that we might retain our cities, and our lands, and our possessions, for the support of our people.
11 Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him.”

3 Nephi 27:33
“33 And it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings he said unto his disciples: Enter ye in at the strait gate; for strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it; but wide is the gate, and broad the way which leads to death, and many there be that travel therein, until the night cometh, wherein no man can work.”

2 Nephi 29:8
“8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.”

When talking with my children about the Prophet's call to the Youth Battalion (who have become Hamilton fans, thanks to Disney+), and we realized that might be appropriate 😉

Mosiah 27:25-26
“25 And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters;
26 And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.”
