And I...Shannon, you have plenty of other strengths. And I admire you too.<BR/><BR/>Teene: <BR/>According to our doctrine and the Book of Mormon, the Native Americans descended from a group of Jews who fled Jerusalem before it was destroyed (about 600 B.C.) They were lead by their prophet (who was the father of some) to the sea shore and then to America which was the promised land. There were somewhere between 20 and 30 people who left Jerusalem(best guess by scholars, it isn't specific in the scriptures). From there, they prospered, multiplied, split apart, and fought wars. The righteous Nephites became wicked, and were utterly destroyed by the Lamanites. The Lamanites then were free to populate the continent. Thus, it comes as no surprise that all Native Americans came from just a few women.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16144297428042243735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774052323342772003.post-45265696078793538452008-03-13T16:31:00.000-06:002008-03-13T16:31:00.000-06:00Just because it says organic does not necessarily ...Just because it says organic does not necessarily mean it is better. I don't believe the laws on putting the label "organic" on it are very strict. But perhaps you could look into this for me as you seem to have some spare time on your hands for research. BTW I'm not LDS, but could you enlighten me on the American Indian thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774052323342772003.post-21518874196311116012008-03-13T15:46:00.000-06:002008-03-13T15:46:00.000-06:00You are such a good person. I admire you. :) I ...You are such a good person. I admire you. :) I am not a very thrifty or environmental person. We did finally get our recycling can and have used it more than i imagined we would, but I still like having all the lights on. I also am not overly thrifty because convenience usually wins out with me over a couple extra dollars. This is why I will never be a great budgeter. Oh well. I have other strengths, right? Not sure what they are, but I'm positive they're there.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08305428805088842399noreply@blogger.com
