Welcome to Eureka Masters
The UM is fascinating! I'm excited to discuss these principles with our Master Achievers.
The principles in the book DO NOT have to be read in Order for understanding. If you haven't done previous reading, you can just jump in. Previous knowledge helps, but each idea is somewhat isolated from the others.
OR, You may read Peter Pan, and be admitted into masters! :)
This Chapter is exciting! I've been wanting to get to it all year. What do you know about the flood, and how it has affected our planet? There is evidence everywhere.
Here is a video to watch!
If the UM seems overwhelming, and you feel like you shouldn't come, because you're "behind," THINK AGAIN! A lot of people who read this book start in chapter 8, because it's fascinating. You don't have to have read anything before this!
Skim the
1st half of Chapter
8.
Pages 475-5.95. Yes, it's a lot, but just skim. Look at the interesting pictures, read a little, just skim. This should only take about 20 minutes.
After skimming, choose 1 section of chapter 8 to read with greater understanding. Come to class ready to teach something about the about the section you read.
There is a lot in each section - you don't need to cover it all, just choose what interests you the most from your section. You'll have 2-5 minutes to present. Think of a creative way to present. For example:
Do an experiment from the book, or one of your own
Make up a song
Make a posterboard
Create an object lesson, or use the ones he gives in the book
Come up with some fun puns
You get the idea....make it fun! Share the excitement of new discovery!

Here are some thoughts compiled by Sarah Nyberg, which I LOVE:
Jeremiah 17:13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Psalm 36:6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Lord, thou preservest man and beast.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
1 Nephi 11:25 And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life; which waters are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.
Ether 12:28 Behold, I will show unto the Gentiles their weakness, and I will show unto them that faith, hope and charity bringeth unto me--the fountain of all righteousness.
The Lord God is the fountain of all righteousness! His love is a fountain of living waters, it runs pure and deep. Now wit the UM we can understand just how deep a fountain can be! This fountain of life is able to cleanse us, able to heal us, and able to satisfy us like nothing else can. When the earth had become so corrupt with sin, it was fountains of living water that came with power to cleanse and heal it.
Each one of us are thirsty, there is nothing in this world that can satisfy our thirst like the Love of God. All of us are corrupt with sin, and there is nothing in this world that can cleanse us, we need the cleansing power of The Fountain of All Righteousness. We are wounded and we need Living Waters in order to heal.
I imagine this Fountain of Living Water is bursting with great force, overflowing with love for us, like the flood video. I'm so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ, all creation testifies of His love for you!
