Are you excited that the 2010 Winter Olympics start in just two days?  I am!

I love to watch all the events and the opening and closing ceremonies.

  The Winter Olympics of 2002 were here in Salt Lake City, and for my birthday that year I was able to go and walk around Olympic Village downtown.  It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I saw figure skater, Brian Boitano giving a free public interview, and I saw NBC broadcasters doing their interviews live. I remember all the security helicopters flying overhead because the Olympics were held here only  five months after 9/11.  I am already praying that the 2010 Olympics will be safe and the Lord will watch over everyone participating, the athletes as well as the audience.

Did you know that seven members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are among the competing athletes?

Next Sunday is my Stake Conference. Yesterday we learned that Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will be speaking. I’m so excited, I’ve never been to a meeting where an apostle of the Church spoke.

I’ve watched General Conferences for years, but this will be the first time that I’ll be present at a talk by a member of the Presidency. I don’t know what he’ll speak on but I know he will be inspired by the Spirit.

I found a talk online by Elder Ballard and it covers two of my passions, “the last days” and “faith”. This talk was given 18 years ago, but it is even more important and timely for our day. Read it today and be blessed!

Update: I got to shake hands with Elder Ballard, as he entered the Chapel. I was in the right place at the right time!

The movie, “Avatar” and the song from the movie, “I See You”,  both teach a deep spiritual lesson, a lesson which we all need to remember and practice.

The biggest movie of the holiday season has been James Cameron’s blockbuster epic “Avatar”. What I found most interesting and intriguing, in this movie, is the spiritual messages throughout, and  also the language of the Na’vi people, who are the focus of this movie. The Na’vi live on a lovely planet moon called Pandora in a far away star system. They live in peace and oneness until aliens (Americans) land on their beautiful jungle planet and start destroying the environment and finally give an ‘extermination order’ (sound familiar?) so that they might get the valuable minerals found only under the Na’vi’s commual home, “The Hometree”. In the end, several of the American’s join with the Na’vi  to save their civilization.

What I like so much about the movie was the Na’vi’s love for one another and their joining in oneness, to live, survive and heal one another. It reminds me so much of Jesus’ words: “I say unto you be one; and if ye are not one, ye are not mine.: (D&C 83:27)

Also, in making this movie, a whole new language was developed, as the language of the Na’vi. What I found amazing is that I recently read about Joseph Smith’s Pure Language, which is mentioned in the latest installment  of “The Joseph Smith Papers” books, where the name of God given in Pure Language is “Aw-man”.

Amazingly, in the language of the Na’vi, the meaning of “Aw” is “One”.

From a post in “The Juvenile Instructor” blog:

The Document (As transcribed in Joseph Smith Papers, Revelations and Translations Volume 1: Facsimile Revelation Books, page 265, with some of the transcription simplified)
A SAMPLE of pure language:
Question: What is the name of God in pure Language
Answer: Awman.”
 ”The Juvenile Instructor”blog

On the Na’vi planet of Pandora their “spirit guide” is a kind of Mother Earth spirit called “Ey-wa”, (leader One). The ‘wa’ title, may be the feminine version of “Aw”.

Joseph Smith’s Pure Language states the name of God is “Aw-man”; so can the language of James Cameron’s Na’vi in “Avatar” be just a coincidence or does “Aw” really mean both ‘God’ and ‘One’?

Makes sense to me!

Wishing you the very best Christmas ever, wishing you a sacred Christmas.
To catch the real meaning of the Christmas spirit, we need only drop the last sylable and it becomes, “the Spirit of Christ”.
