water WATER, n. Wauter. [G., Gr.] 1. A fluid, the most abundant and most necessary for living beings of any in nature, except air. Water when pure, is colorless, destitute of taste and smell, ponderous, transparent, and in a very small degree compressible. It is reposited in the earth in inexhaustible quantities, where it is preserved fresh and cool, and from which it issues in springs, which form streams and rivers. But the great reservoirs of water on the globe are the ocean, seas and lakes, which cover more than three fifths of its surface, and from which it is raised by evaporation, and uniting with the air in the state of vapor, is wafted over the earth, ready to be precipitated in the form of rain, snow or hail. Water by the abstraction or loss of heat becomes solid, or in other words, is converted into ice or snow; and by heat it is converted into steam, an elastic vapor, one of the most powerful agents in nature. Modern chemical experiments prove that water is a compound substance, consisting of a combination of oxygen and hydrogen gases, or rather the bases or ponderable matter of those gases; or about two volumes or measures of hydrogen gas and one of oxygen gas. The proportion of the ingredients in weight, is nearly 85 parts of oxygen to 15 of hydrogen. 2. The ocean; a sea; a lake; a river; any great collection of water; as in the phrases, to go by water, to travel by water. 3. Urine; the animal liquor secreted by the kidneys and discharged from the bladder. X-) 4. The color or luster of a diamond or pearl, sometimes perhaps of other precious stones; as a diamond of the first water, that is, perfectly pure and transparent. Hence the figurative phrase, a man or a genius of the first water, that is, of the first excellence. 5. Water is a name given to several liquid substances or humors in animal bodies; as the water of the pericardium, of dropsy, &c. Mineral waters, are those waters which are so impregnated with foreign ingredients, such as gaseous, sulphurous and saline substances, as to give them medicinal, or at least sensible properties. Most natural waters contain more or less of these foreign substances, but the proportion is generally too minute to affect the senses. To hold water, to be sound or tight. [Obsolete or vulgar. SCRIPTURES: 1 John 5:6 New Testament This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not bywater only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.  John 4:14 New Testament But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well ofwater springing up into everlasting life.  Genesis 24:43 Old Testament Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;  JST, 2 Peter 3:5 Joseph Smith Translation For this they willingly are ignorant of, that of old the heavens, and the earth standing in the water and out of the water, were created by the word of God;  Ecclesiastes 2:6 Old Testament I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:  2 Peter 3:5 New Testament For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:  Ether 6:10 Book of Mormon And thus they were driven forth; and no monster of the sea could break them, neither whale that could mar them; and they did have light continually, whether it was above the water or under the water.  Exodus 2:16 Old Testament Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flocks.

Quotes:

Chris Rock

If you must speak ill of another, do not speak it, write it in the sand near the water's edge.

Water gives everything life. Its awesome. 

Christ also gave everything life through the atonement and ressurection. Its awesome.

   Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?
   Tony Robbins

   You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.

   Personal Definition:

   I think Initiative means to have a mindset of :I can do this thing, and I'll do anything it takes to get it done!

   I think it means to have energy and imagination and courage and willingness to 'get out there, and do it!'

    

   I think Initiative is an important trait to have, so when God tells you to do something you can get excited about it and just 'go and do' and take charge and be a leader and example.

    

   I want to develop initiative in my self by being sure and happy with my self so that others can see Christs light through me,and what joy the gospel brings me, and I can motivate and help and do things with His strength!

 I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it's a verb.
Robert Downey, Jr.

I think being a hero takes diligence. To be a real hero, you have to try, and try, and even fail at times, and then learn from your failures and try again!
You have to be strong in the spirit, because that is where any strength comes from.
Also, you need to have God with you, so that when you need streangth beyond your own, or you even just need to know what to say, then He will be working with you, and His word can be yours.
It all seems to lead to this: Christ is the Ultimate Hero, and when you truly "come unto Him" Then you couldn't be stronger. :)
You can be a Hero and save others by showing, through example and deed, how Christ saves others.
He is saving you every minuet of your life, you just have to let Him be your Hero by living the gospel and listening to His word.
Be a Hero, by having Christ be yours.
:)
