Students, be grateful for all your teachers, for they all do so much for you. Go up to each of your teachers this week and say, "Thank you." Also, go to former teachers and say to them, "Thank you." They sacrifice their time, energy, and money for your benefit. They spend many hours in your behalf; therefore, spend one minute of your time with them to thank them for what they have done to bless you. Write them a "thank you" note and give it to them.
The Son of God declares that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven, and that a house divided against itself shall fall.http://www.mormonchannel.org/bible-vi...
Luke 11:14-26
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
Matthew 12:31-42
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Strive to follow the Good Shepherd in all you think and do. All your actions need to be after the manner of Christ. Christ is the Holy One of Israel, and He will lead you in the paths of righteousness and happiness. Stay on the CTR Path, the path of happiness.
Prayer is a way to communicate with youFather in Heaven. Pray daily and sincerely.
HOW TO PRAY
The four steps of prayer include:
1. "Our Father in Heaven"

3. "I ask thee..."[Ask for His help. Plead with Him. Confide in Him. Talk with Him.
Pour out your heart to Him. Tell Him how you really feel. Council with Him in allyour doings on any topic. Ask Him to guide and direct you. Ask Him to bless and
help other people and mention their specific names. Be completely honest and sincere

"All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
(Matthew 21:22)

"With God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
The earliest lists of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were made more than 2,000 years ago by ancient Hellenic tourists. Except for the Great Pyramid of Giza those wonders no longer exist. They were destroyed by earthquakes, fires and in one case by an angry mob. Many other lists of amazing structures have been made since then. Here’s a look at our list of the greatest man-made wonders of the world.
Any student can improve their study habits and study skills to improve their grades and do it with less study time and less stress. My 10 best study skills tips are:
1. Study in chunks. Research tells us that there will be a diminishing return on study time if we don't take breaks. Studying in 25-50 minute segments with 15 minute breaks is ideal. Then go for a walk or do something to get your blood pumping
2. Get 6-8 hours sleep the night after you learn something and the next day when you wake up you will know it better
3. Take notes in class! This is big. It is better for you to take the notes instead of just copying someone elses
4. Clear your mind of all distractions before you study
5. If you find when you study you mind begins to drift focus in on a keyword in the text you are reading and repeat that word over and over until you are again focused
6. Learn the most important ideas first. Read the learning objectives or table of contents first. These are often the details you should be looking for while reading
7. Learn the list of terms or glossary in the back of the book
8. Chew gum while you study. Then when you take the test chew that same flavor of gum and studies show this will help you remember what you were studying (weird I know, just try it)
9. Trick your brain into what you are studying is a plot to a movie or tv show. Imagine it is an exciting script
10. My favorite study skill tip is to use the Mind Palace technique. I think this will have a HUGE benefit to your studying. For more details about the Mind Palace go here
Trying to memorize everything you need for your exams and tests can take a long time. However, spaced repetition can help you speed the learning process up significantly - and it can complement almost any other study technique.
This video dives into the history behind this technique, explores how it affects our memory (through what's called the Spacing Effect), and shows you exactly how you can use it both with paper flash cards and with apps.
Students, Work Hard and succeed. Success is a choice. Choose NOW to succeed, and you will.
