SCRIPTURES!

Hey!  Since this blog is mainly for me to refer back to when I want to find something either cool, interesting or wonderful, I'm going to put some scriptures here.

This first one is D&C 137.

This is where Joseph Smith saw the Celestial Kingdom of God, the gates thereof, the blazing throne of God, with Heavenly Father and Jesus sitting there.

The Celestial Kingdom

This next scripture is from the New Testament in the Bible.  It's in Revelation 21:10.  St. John the Devine talks about seeing the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven, and he describes what it looks like.  He says that the foundation of the walls of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones -- sapphire, emerald, etc......

I love reading about things like that.  It is breath-taking and amazing and fills me with happiness, excitement and hope.

The words they use to describe what they saw are probably not even adequate, and PALE in comparison to what they actually saw.  As "E" says in "The Incredibles" movie -- "Words are USELESS darling!  Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble..... That is why I SHOW you.".

I know that there are MANY things that I have seen -- various sunsets, rainbows, rivers, the ocean, old buildings, etc....., and even my camera cannot capture what I saw.
