The Oh-Hah Doha Series # 5*
***
Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
(Reinhold Niebuhr)

As children of God we have been given an eraser to take care of our mistakes. It is repentance.
Conference Talk:
For more information on this topic read "A Virtuous Life - Step by Step," by Mary N. Cook, Ensign, May 2009, 117-19.
Thought:
The Savior's atoning sacrifice has made it possible for you to be forgiven of your sins. . . . Determine to partake worthily of the sacrament each week and fill your life with virtuous activities.
Song:
"He Sent His Son," Children's Songbook, p. 34.
Scripture:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
Object Lesson:
Materials needed: An eraser.
Procedure: Ask your family to suppose that at the beginning of each school year each student was given an eraser to use. When a mistake was made, the eraser would be used to correct it instead of writing over it or crossing it out. This would allow the student to correct the error and learn from it. It would not be important how much of the eraser was left at the end or the year. What would matter would be that it was used each time it was needed. Therefore, even a student who made many errors could finish the year successfully.
Explain that as children of God we have been given an eraser to take care of our mistakes. It is repentance. It is important that we don't cover up or ignore our shortcomings. We must use the process our Savior's atonement made possible for us to correct the errors in our lives. In the end it will not matter how often we have had to rely on repentance. What will matter is whether we did repent every time it was needed. By doing this we can finish this earth life successfully.
Story:
I once asked a young boy graduating from Primary what was his favorite scripture story. "The Tower of Babel," he quickly responded. His answer was somewhat of a shock for me, so I asked him what that story taught him. "It teaches me that there is only one way to get to heaven," he said.
We cannot build our own stairway to heaven; we must climb the one the Lord has provided. This stairway is constructed by the Lord, for He stands waiting for His children to climb toward Him. Far too many people want to build their own stairway, and though they may proceed with their construction plans, they never reach high enough to achieve the goal of reunion with our Father in Heaven. There is no other stair!
Activity:
Show the family a picture of Jesus Christ.
Pass the picture around the family. As each family member holds it, have them express their feelings for the Savior.

I'm finally catching up on some of my dense reading. In terms of online services, that means taking to Scribd. One of the articles I bookmarked (was it really way back in February?!? has the exciting title: "The VirtuousCircle - The Role of Search and SocialMedia in the Purchase Pathway."
But beyond the academic title, it confirms something we already know, but really need to actively keep in the front of our collective marketing minds: 60% of online purchases start with a search. Not a catalog. Not a visit to a store. Not a postcard. Not a blog post. Not a tweet. Not a Facebook status update.
This is one of the reasons that, for all the talk about Facebook and Apple, Google is still the frontrunner in the race for world domination. As the authors of the study state:
The ubiquity of search is also revealed in this study. Survey respondents say the top reasons they use search first are: the quality and scale of information, the fact that they always use it, and because search is easy to use.
So the question is, is your website optimized for search? Here's a good way to find out: attend one of our Google 101 and Google 201 workshops. The next set are happening in Westminster (Denver Metro area) on August 17 and 18th. Click here to read a description of the classes on our sister website: Colorado Web Workshops.

The ancient Greek tale of the virtuous maiden Hippo unfurls over a sprawling landscape of rolling hills and medieval castles. As first told by the Roman writer Valerius Maximus (1st century CE) and retold by the medieval Italian poet Boccaccio (1313-1375), Hippo was abducted by a band of pirates while walking along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Fearing the pirates would sexually assault her, Hippo threw herself from the ship, thereby preserving her chastity. Hippo’s abduction appears at the center right, where she is shown carried away by three pirates. At the left, her companions cry out for help to a group of Roman soldiers, and at the right, she leaps from the pirate ship and into the sea.
The horizontal shape of this painting indicates that it was originally inserted into the front of a “cassone,” a large storage chest commonly found in the domestic interiors of Renaissance Italy. Cassoni were typically commissioned for marriages as part of the bride’s trousseau. Their fronts were often painted with stories that exemplified certain virtues or morals to which the young bride was expected to aspire. In this case, Hippo was likely viewed as a model example of the virtue of chastity.
Though most recent discussion of the painting has attributed it to the Sienese painter and miniaturist Pellegrino di Mariano, it was long attributed to his teacher, Giovanni di Paolo (for whom also Walters 37.489A-D and 37.554), with whom Pellegrino is sometimes indistinguishable.

He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard of his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections. ... [P]rivate and public vices are in reality ... connected. ... Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust be men of unexceptionable characters. The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men.

A person can be flawed and virtuous at the same time. Most of us come in this category, but Bhaishree is exceptionally different. He is an exemplary model of truth and holiness. Though outwardly he may look ordinary like us but his enlightened state makes him conduct in complete Godliness. Bhaishree remains our hero, our ideal, because from him we only and only gain and never lose.

"Voil‡! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both
victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer
of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However,
this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed
to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing
the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict
is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and
veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply
add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." -- V's

You can see that all of the ceilings and archways on these stairways are painted in elaborate, colourful detail. This stunning art is not only in the stair wells, but almost every covered area (including all .7+km of the long corridor -- which I don't have a picture of). That's a lot of workmanship.
Friday, Panda, Catriona and I went off to explore the Summer Palace.
We stayed with my old high school friend, Doug, who lives in Beijing now. His niece, Catriona, was visiting while we were there.
I was in Beijing on May 26 and 27 to help my friend Panda apply for a visa to come and visit Canada.
