is someone available to look over my talk/sermon? it's last minute and i have to send it in about 2 hours. it's on #RacialJustice.
it uses the #BookOfMormon jsyk, also the Bible , Matthew 15: 21-28.
i'm a layperson and still developing confidence in my interpretation and usage of scripture. the audience is mostly older white people, but not exclusively. the audience is important to know for any message.

Why Kiss' Dressing Rooms Always Smelled Like Burnt Toast
Former Night Ranger guitarist Jeff Watson explained why Kiss' dressing rooms always smelled of burnt toast in December 2023.
i think it's and important message for #Christian people in general and especially for those of us who are #Mormon (broadly speaking). If we know better, we can do better.
i hope to see anyone interested in the chatter day saint chat! would love to fellowship with you and hear your thoughts.
56 Don’t you realize that I created all of humanity, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea? Don’t you realize that I rule in the Heavens above and the earth beneath? 57 Don’t you realize that I speak to all of humanity? 58 Why do you complain that you can read more of what I have to say? 59 Don’t you realize that when different people’s scriptures agree it shows you that I speak to them both?

i have been asked to give a sermon and this time i am ready :)
i have been assigned the parable of the fig tree in the book of Luke in the bible, and the parable of the olive tree from the book of Jacob in the book of Mormon.
i have some foundational ideas. will expound upon them later.
I will get into the part on the Book of Jacob in the #BookOfMormon after further study.
for right now, i know that the gathering and scattering of israel is compared to dissemination of the tame olive tree through planting of young branches and graphing the daughter branches back to the original tree. i will be using the metaphor to talk about the branches of the Restoration and how we can come together and engage peacefully, lovingly, and ecumenically. and why that's important
