Yesterday was Juliet's birthday. For her birthday present I had her handwriting analyzed by a professional graphologist. It was eerily accurate. As was mine which I had analyzed back in July. It is also posted here on my blog if you want to look at it.
Juliet gave me permission to post her results. So here they are!
Juliet's handwriting analysis personality snapshot as of December 9, 2022:
Hi Tammy, thanks for your patience. As a reminder, these can reach back to childhood through the date of the writing sample.
Juliet:
·Socially selective but emotionally demonstrative with those she is closest to.
·Otherwise, because she is driven by logic, those who don’t know her well consider her emotionally stoic.
·Because of how strong her emotions appear she has to be careful who she trusts.
·She could easily attract “energy vampires” or “project people” who can wear her out
·She also could end up in codependent relationships.
·She is good at defending her position and would easily defend the perceived underdog but…
·Has to be careful not to become unnecessarily argumentative
·She tries to be optimistic and find the good in everyone and every challenge.
·She is creative but doesn’t use it to her benefit… she is capable of so much more.
·She is very loyal but could use more will power.
·She has to be careful not to waste time, energy, and money on excessive or unnecessary things.
·She needs to stay physical active to avoid feeling frustrated and / or unfulfilled.
If you're wondering about Juliet's creative ability, ask her about her cross-stitch. :-)
It's amazing how your handwriting reveals what's in your subconscious mind. Some people are skeptical of the science but I fully believe in it.
Lisa gave me a Christmas present and said I will never guess what it is. She was right. I never would have guessed. She made me a sign that says, "The Dog Tree, Tammy's Place". It is awesome!
We immediately went and hung it up at the dog tree. Thanks, Lisa!
It was apropos that we had Buck show up as we were heading to the dog tree to put up the sign. We are also babysitting Rose for Richie right now. So we had three dogs at the dog tree while hanging the sign. :-)
Merry Christmas to all! I am always happy when Christmas lands on a Sunday. I like being able to go to church to worship our Savior on this day that we celebrate his birth.
May we all remember and reverence our Savior's birth, life, atonement, and love for all of us today.
I don't know why but I really like the punk rocker images. Maybe it's because I was a teenager in the 80s. Maybe because they look cartoonish. Maybe because it's so far from what I would ever do or be. Or maybe because they are so unique. I think I would've made a cool looking punk rocker. :-)
7 ¶ Even from the days of your afathers ye
are gone away from mine bordinances,
and have not kept them.cReturn unto
me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But
ye said, Wherein shall we return?
How do we return to
the Lord?
8 ¶ aWill a
man brob God?
Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In ctithes and
offerings.
9 Ye areacursed with
a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
How does our
attitude in paying tithes and offerings show our feelings for the Lord?
10 Bring ye all
the atithes into
the storehouse, that there may be bmeat in
mine house, and cprove me
now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if
I will not dopen you
the ewindows of heaven,
and pour you out a fblessing,
that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
What does open the windows of
heaven mean?
11 And I will arebuke the bdevourer for
your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall
your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 And all nations
shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
Is anyone willing to share an
example of being blessed by paying tithing?
Malachi 4: (compare third Nephi 25)
*1 aFor, behold,
the bday cometh,
that shall cburn as an
oven; and all the dproud, yea, and all
that do ewickedly, shall
be fstubble: and the day
that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts,
that it shall leave them neither root nor gbranch.
What does Malachi
mean when he says that the wicked who burn will have neither root nor branch?
2 ¶ But unto you that fear my name shall the aSun of
righteousness barise with
healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the cstall.
3 And ye shall atread down the
wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I
shall do this, saith
the Lord of hosts.
Doctrine
and Covenants Section 2 compare Malachi 4:5-6
An extract
from Joseph Smith’s history relating the words of the angel Moroni to Joseph
Smith the Prophet, while in the house of the Prophet’s father at Manchester,
New York, on the evening of September 21, 1823. Moroni was the last of a long
line of historians who had made the record that is now before the world as the
Book of Mormon. (Compare Malachi 4:5–6; also sections 27:9; 110:13–16; and 128:18.)
*1 Behold, I will
reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of aElijah the prophet,
before the coming of the great and bdreadful day of
the Lord.
Compare verse one with Malachi
4:5
Differences?(Elijah will come to reveal the priesthood–
more specifically the sealing power)
*2 And ahe shall plant
in the hearts of the children the bpromises made
to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.
*3 If it were not so,
the whole aearth would be
utterly wasted at his coming.
Compare verse two and three with Malachi 4:6
Differences?(Plant
promises vs. turn; utterly wasted vs. smite with curse)
For reference only:
Joseph Smith History – 1
Moroni appearing to Joseph Smith – September 21, 1823 36 After telling me these things, he
commenced quoting the prophecies of the Old Testament. He first quoted part of
the athird chapter of Malachi; and he quoted
also the fourth or last chapter of the same
prophecy, though with a little variation from the way it reads in our Bibles.
Instead of quoting the first verse as it reads
in our books, he quoted it thus:
37 For behold, the aday cometh
that shall bburn as
an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn
as cstubble;
for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall
leave them neither root nor branch.
38 And again, he
quoted the fifth verse thus: Behold, I will reveal unto you
the aPriesthood,
by the hand of bElijah the
prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the cLord.
39 He also quoted
the next verse differently: And he shall plant in the
hearts of the achildren the bpromises made
to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If
it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.
Jews set an extra place setting for Elijah at Passover. And open the door to see if he will come in.
Has the prophecy of Elijah’s return been fulfilled?
Elijah appeared to Joseph and Oliver in the Kirtland Temple April 3, 1836 (Easter and Passover)
[Sunday,
May 27, 1836 the Kirtland temple is dedicated]
In
a meeting held in the temple a week later, on Sunday, April 3, manifestations
of extraordinary significance occurred. After the Prophet assisted other Church
leaders in administering the sacrament, he and Oliver Cowdery retired to the
pulpit behind lowered curtains and knelt in solemn prayer. As they rose from
prayer, the Savior Himself appeared to them and proclaimed His approval of the
temple: “Behold, I have accepted this house, and my name shall be here; and I
will manifest myself to my people in mercy in this house” (D&C 110:7).
After
this vision closed, Joseph and Oliver saw three separate visions in which
ancient prophets appeared to them to restore priesthood keys necessary for the
latter-day work of the Lord. The prophet Moses appeared and committed to them
“the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth.” Elias
came and committed to them “the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham.”
(See D&C 110:11–12.)
*Then,
in another glorious vision, Joseph and Oliver saw the prophet Elijah (see D&C 110:13–16). The coming of
Elijah was so important that the ancient prophet Malachi had prophesied of it
centuries earlier, and the Savior had repeated the prophecy to the Nephites
(see Malachi 4:5–6; 3 Nephi 25:5–6; 26:1–2). Elijah came to
commit to Joseph and Oliver the keys of sealing—the power to bind and validate
in the heavens all ordinances performed on the earth. The restoration of the
sealing power was necessary to prepare the world for the Savior’s Second
Coming, for without it, “the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming”
(Joseph Smith—History 1:39).
–Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, chapter 26, Elijah and the
restoration of the sealing keys
The
Prophet Joseph Smith said the following in a letter to the Saints, later
recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 128:8–9:
“The
nature of this ordinance [baptism for the dead] consists in the power of the
priesthood, by the revelation of Jesus Christ, wherein it is granted that
whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatsoever you loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven. …
“It may seem to some to be a very bold doctrine that we talk of—a
power which records or binds on earth and binds in heaven. Nevertheless, in all
ages of the world, whenever the Lord has given a dispensation of the priesthood
to any man by actual revelation, or any set of men, this power has always been
given. Hence, whatsoever those men did in authority, in the name of the Lord,
and did it truly and faithfully, and kept a proper and faithful record of the
same, it became a law on earth and in heaven, and could not be annulled,
according to the decrees of the great Jehovah. This is a faithful saying. Who
can hear it?”
How
do we turn our hearts to our fathers?
In
what ways are we blessed when we do family history work?
