Passionate members of the LDS church not only live their religion through attending Sunday worship services, sacred temple worship, and family activity nights, but also through rings, neckties, and scripture cases. Many Mormons use these items to remind themselves of the covenants they have made with their Heavenly Father. These items can be purchased by individuals for personal use, but are more often given as gifts. There are many reasons one might give an LDS gifts, and there are just as many gifts as there are reasons.

One of the first steps in learning about the church and its teachings is Primary. Primary is for young children ages 4-12. Each year in Primary, a certain principle is taught. These principles are centered on the teachings of Jesus Christ and are taught at a simpler level in order to help the young children understand. Every year, the child advances with other children of their age and continue to learn more principles at a deeper level. LDS Primary gifts can be given to help child remember what they are learning or what they learned in the previous year.

One of the biggest steps for a child in the Mormon Church is to enter the waters of baptism, just as Jesus did. This step is taken once a child reaches eight years of age. This can be a time of celebration for the child, family, and friends. This is the perfect time to give a baptism gift. These gifts may include a small tie, a CTR ring, or a bracelet. These gifts will help a child remember their baptism and realize the significance and importance of their baptism day.

At the age of 12, children of the church graduate from Primary and enter the Young Men or Young Women’s program.

Each program consists of three levels of progression: Deacon, Teacher, and Priest for the young men, and Beehive, Mia Maid and Laurel for the girls. Each level of progression is based on the person’s age and presents a great opportunity to give a necklace or some earrings, or a necktie or tie clip as a congratulatory gift.

In high school, young adults also attend in-depth scripture study classes either during a release time from school, or early in the morning before school. After attending these classes for four years and fulfilling certain requirements, a graduation ceremony is held and graduation certificates are given. At this time, gifts such as a nicer CTR ring or scripture case may be given. Seminary graduation is a time of accomplishment for the young man or woman receiving the honor, as well as their families.

From this point, LDS gifts may be given at mission farewells or homecomings, Personal Progress awards, marriages, baby blessings, birthdays, or any other significant event in the member’s life. No matter what time of their life, young or old, big or small, LDS gifts make for great reminders of the importance of the event and the standards members of LDS church hold.

Question by Mrs.J: What is a good “finding peace within” book?
I am struggling with a few different addictions and compulsions
my life is unmanageable and it is starting to tear my relationships apart. I am now reading “Women,Sex,and Addiction” by Charlotte Kasl and “Healing our Family History” by Rebecca Hintze. I prefer books that are more recent and written in “english” I can understand instead of all those big word technical term books out there. I am on a path to enlightenment and would like more book suggestions.

Quotable Quotes for A.A. History Lovers

Dick B.

Dale Mitchel, who wrote the biography of Bill Wilson’s doctor, William D. Silkworth, M.D.,

stated:

During his third visit to Towns Hospital, Bill [Wilson] had a discussion with Dr. Silkworth on the subject of the “Great Physician.” . . . . In fact, Bill Wilson himself wrote that he had thought about this discussion before he decided to check himself into Towns for the last time. . . . Wilson wrote: “Alcoholism took longer to kill, but the result was the same. Yes, if there was any Great Physician that could cure the alcohol sickness, I’d better find him now, at once” See Dale Mitchel, Silkworth The Little Doctor Who Loved Drunks: The Biography of William Duncan Silkworth, M.D. (Center City, MN: Hazelden, 2002), 44.

Silkworth has not been given the appropriate credit for his position on a spiritual conversion, particularly as it may relate to true Christian benefits. Several sources, including Norman Vincent Peale in his book The Positive Power of Jesus Christ, agree that it was Dr. Silkworth who used the term “The Great Physician” to explain the need in recovery for a relationship with Jesus Christ. If true, this reference to Jesus has all but been eliminated from Alcoholics Anonymous history. In the formation of A.A., Wilson initially insisted on references to God and Jesus, as well as the Great Physician. See Mitchel, Silkworth, 50.

Bill Wilson said: “Henrietta, the Lord has been so wonderful to me, curing me of this terrible disease, that I just want to keep talking about it and telling people” See Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed., page 191.

Dr. Bob Smith said: “It is a most wonderful blessing to be relieved of the terrible curse with which I was afflicted. . . . Your Heavenly Father will never let you down!” Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed., pages 180-81.

A.A. Number Three Bill Dotson said: “That sentence, ‘The Lord has been so wonderful to me, curing me of this terrible disease, that I just want to keep telling people about it,’ has been a sort of golden text for the A.A. program and for me.” Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed., page 191.

Mitchell K., who wrote a biography of Clarence H. Snyder {who founded A.A. in Cleveland in 1939), stated: “Clarence was ‘called on the carpet’ numerous times for using of his full name wherever he went. Some of his programs and flyers said, ‘Clarence Snyder of Alcoholics Anonymous will speak on this new cure for alcoholism.’ These even listed Clarence’s place of work so people could contact him.” See Mitchell K., How It Worked: The Story of Clarence H. Snyder and the Early Days of Alcoholics Anonymous in Cleveland, Ohio (NY: Washingtonville, AA Big Book Study Group, 1999), 171.
