Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 135-136]He “Has Sealed His Mission and His Works with His Own Blood”November 24 – November 30, 2025WEEK 48 SUMMARYDoctrine and Covenants 135 and 136 are significant sections that address the martyrdom of Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith, and the guidance for the Saints as they prepared to move westward. Section 135 announces the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, highlighting their contributions to the Church and the impact of their deaths. It emphasizes their roles as prophets and the sealing of their testimonies with their blood. Section 136, given through Brigham Young, provides instructions for the organization and conduct of the Saints as they prepared to journey to the Salt Lake Valley. It outlines principles of unity, faith, and obedience, encouraging the Saints to care for one another and maintain their faith during the challenging journey ahead.SPARK 1: A SUMMER'S MORNINGSPARK 2: A PECULIAR PEOPLEOBJECT LESSON 1: “They Lived for Glory”: Unquenchable Fire TrickOBJECT LESSON 2: “Marvel Not at These Things”: Pioneer Bandana PuzzleCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 ANNOUNCEMENT00:01:20 INTRO00:04:06 QUICK GLANCE00:10:10 SPARK 100:20:54 QUESTIONS 100:22:59 OBJECT LESSON 100:28:08 SPARK 200:38:37 QUESTIONS 200:40:14 OBJECT LESSON 200:45:58 WRAP UP#whitneyhoustonchallengeMusic: I Will Always Love You by Whitney HoustonFrom the album/soundtrack: The Bodyguard (Original Soundtrack Album)Artist: Whitney HoustonWritten by: Dolly PartonListen here: [link to official YouTube video or Spotify, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JWTaaS7LdU]No copyright infringement intended.

On pense souvent que les plus grandes menaces pour notre santé viennent de ce que l'on consomme : la cigarette, l'alcool, la malbouffe. Mais il existe un autre poison, plus discret, plus insidieux : la solitude. Elle ne brûle pas les poumons, n'encrasse pas les artères, et pourtant, elle use le corps et le cerveau aussi sûrement qu'un paquet de cigarettes par jour.En 2023, une vaste étude publiée dans JAMA Network Open a analysé les données de centaines de milliers de personnes à travers le monde. Les chercheurs ont découvert que l'isolement social augmentait de 32 % le risque de mortalité prématurée, et la solitude ressentie, de 14 %. En clair : vivre seul et se sentir seul, même entouré, peut raccourcir la vie. Un constat que d'autres travaux confirment : selon une méta-analyse menée par Julianne Holt-Lunstad à l'université Brigham Young, les effets de la solitude sur la santé sont comparables à ceux du tabagisme.Pourquoi ? Parce que notre cerveau n'a pas été conçu pour vivre dans l'isolement. Pendant des millénaires, notre survie dépendait du groupe : la chaleur du feu, la veille commune, la chasse collective. Être seul, c'était être en danger. Aujourd'hui encore, notre corps réagit à la solitude comme à une menace : le rythme cardiaque s'accélère, le cortisol – l'hormone du stress – grimpe, le système immunitaire s'affaiblit. À long terme, cette inflammation silencieuse favorise les maladies cardiovasculaires, la dépression, et même certains cancers.Mais le danger ne se limite pas au corps. Les personnes isolées, souvent âgées, dorment moins bien, bougent moins, mangent plus mal. Elles consultent moins souvent les médecins, ont plus de mal à suivre un traitement. La solitude agit comme une spirale : plus on s'enfonce, plus il devient difficile d'en sortir.Et puisque Avast soutient cet épisode, je dois souligner que les effets néfastes de la solitude s'étendent à Internet. Bien que certaines personnes âgées soient familières avec Internet, les données du gouvernement français montrent que beaucoup d'entre elles manquent d'expérience en ligne et l'enquête menée par Avast révèle que les personnes âgées sont vulnérables aux escroqueries en ligne.C'est pourquoi Avast encourage à avoir ce qu'il appelle “La Discussion Cybersécurité” : un moment d'échange entre générations pour parler d'arnaques, de mots de passe, de vigilance numérique. Parce que protéger les plus âgés, c'est aussi recréer du lien, leur donner les outils et la confiance nécessaires pour naviguer sereinement dans ce monde numérique.La sécurité ne dépend donc pas seulement d'un logiciel, même si bien sûr je vous encourage à télécharger l'Antirus Gratuit d'Avast disponible depuis Google Play et l'App Store d'Apple ou en cliquant directement sur le lien suivant: https://www.avast.com/fr-fr/lp-free-av?full_trSrc=mmm_ava_tst_008_470_g&utm_source=codesource&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=mid-funnel_mmm_ava_tst_008_470_g&utm_content=mid_audio#mac La transmission et le partage de connaissance est aussi important : aider un parent à reconnaître un faux message ou un lien suspect, c'est déjà un geste d'amour.

WASHINGTON, DC - It was a whirlwind week of rugby that included reassuring news on the Major League Rugby front, the NCR Playoffs sending host Matt McCarthy to Oklahoma, and the USA Men's Eagles playing in Romania. MLR Weeky touches all the bases, so you don't have to. Old Glory, DC Head Coach Simon Cross:  Cross answers a wide range of questions with real answers, not in the Coach-Speak, non-answer jargon that American sports fans get fed every day by the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. Cross is refreshingly transparent.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden world of Mormonism — from Joseph Smith's treasure-digging origins and Brigham Young's desert theocracy to the Danites, Mountain Meadows Massacre, and the modern LDS empire fueled by billion-dollar investment arms, political pipelines, Freemasonic roots, and a counterfeit gospel that shapes everything they do. We follow the threads through theology, secrecy, Israel connections, government over-representation, and financial power to reveal the complete picture behind the polished missionary smile.In the second half of the podcast, Bill Schnoebelen's classic Prophecy Club lecture, What Is Wrong With Mormonism, dives into the hidden doctrines, temple rituals, and occult roots of the LDS Church from the perspective of a former insider. Drawing on his firsthand experience and research, Schnoebelen exposes the Masonic foundations, false revelations, and spiritual dangers embedded in the system that most missionaries never reveal at your door—a perfect companion to tonight's deep dive.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comShow Notes:BYU Jerusalem Centerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYU_Jerusalem_CenterMoriah and the Mormon Leadershiphttps://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/mormon.htmEzra Taft Bensonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Taft_Benson

From the moment Brigham Young emerged from the waters of baptism in 1832, a fire burned within him to preach the restored gospel: "I wanted to thunder and roar out the Gospel to the nations. It burned in my bones like fire pent up…." That same passion drove him to keep detailed records of his labors and later his service as a Church leader and prophet. In this episode, professor of Church history and doctrine Gerrit Dirkmaat discusses his work on The Brigham Young Journals: Volume 1: April 1832–February 1846. Dr. Dirkmaat shares the behind-the-scenes insights into the editorial process, explores the significance of Brigham Young's pre-Utah writings, and explains what these documents teach us about his remarkable journey from convert to prophet. Whether you're a student of Church history or simply curious about the making of a leader, this conversation offers a rare and riveting look into the testimony, labors, and special witness of the second latter-day prophet.
