Thoughts on Tithing, Self-Reliance, and other life issues. (Magrath 3rd Ward Aug 2011)
Jacob 6:11 O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye, and enter in at the strait gate, and continue in the way which is narrow, until ye shall obtain eternal life. 12 O be wise; what can I say more?
We live in a world of uncertainty. Unexpected events may occur at any moment. Recently while on vacation I came across an 'opoly' for sale at a gift shop. An 'opoly' is a version of the board game Monopoly. This one was called Ocean-opoly and featured sea creature tokens and name places. I already own a version called Possum-opoly – based on TV characters from one of my favorite shows; the Red Green show. Were I to make a version of this game, it would be called Life-opoly. In Life-opoly you circle the board visiting places like work, home, school, church and activities like FHE, Scriptures, Prayer, Home Teaching. A major feature of the 'opoly' is the random nature of the play – roll the dice to see where you land. The space you land on may require you to spend money, move forward or backward, or draw a Random Chance card and deal with that new situation. Just like the real world.
