Lessons We Learn from Dinosaurs

#1 Don't get eaten

Spiritually speaking, a bad habit or a temptation is a giant, scary, flesh-ripping T-rex. If you want to survive life unscathed, get as far away as you can!

#2 Eat a lot

You do not maintain a multi-ton physique by eating like a bird. You have to eat hundreds of pounds of food. Spiritually, you cannot keep up with all of the spiritual work you do if you do not feed your spirit with reading the scriptures everyday. Dig in! Munch munch....

#3 Find safe nesting grounds so other dinosaurs don't eat your little dinosaurs

For those of you dinos who have little ones, no smart dinosaur parent raises their babies around predators. Protect your little ones from the powerful, bone-crushing jaws of the T-rex  and teach them the survival skills they need. Then, when they are well trained, they can fend for themselves. Spiritually, teach your children what you know about God and good choices. Protect them from evil. When they are grown, they'll remember what you taught them.

#4 Safety comes from the pack

Roaming through the bush alone is like asking to be singled out by a T-rex. Plus, hanging around the older dinosaurs means you learn cool skills like how to fight and how to find better food. Spiritually, activities like going to church or studying the scriptures with other people provides spiritual safety. Take advantage of strength in numbers.


#5 It helps to have spikes, claws, sharp teeth, clubs, or horns and use them.

All dinosaurs have some kind of built in defense. Learn to use it well. Spiritually, we all have some strengths that make it easier to fight off T-rexes when they come hunting us. Practice using it to defend your weaknesses. Don't get eaten!

Champion good! Be the dinosaur you know you can be!
