You never studied. The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. Your girlfriend, Pete, lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central.

All I take away from this is that I need to teach you how to play hearts. It's obvious you just don't know how to play. If you were playing the game right, you could win of your own accord. You just need to know the steps and how to follow them correctly.

Liz,
I love your comment! Obedience isn't the first law of heaven in terms of primacy but in terms of order. It is the first step. We covenant to obey before we even learn the law of the gospel. We obey because without being subject to the law we can't transgress it and discover the need for salvation. It is a telestial law and preparatory in nature.
But Consig can explain it better than I can.
by the way, we should do lunch. I think we live near each other. I'm in the Apex stake.

Hey, we could do lunch! Isn't Apex Stake in Raleigh?
I'm in the High Point Stake, which is about an hour and a half away. LOL

Yes! Very near anyway - the stake building is the one that shares a parking lot with the temple on hwy 55.
Another idea... if you have kids we could meet at the zoo, my kids have been begging to go and that's fairly close to you, isn't it?

An excellent essay! Thanks for sharing.
