I came across this quote in my morning studies:
"Attempting to give up one specific sin while cling tenaciously to others can be characterized as 'fragmentary forsaking', which is antithetical to the forsaking required of the Lord for one to be totally forgiven." (Doctrinal Book of Mormon Commentary, Vol 4.)
Today was the Del Rio 2nd ward conference. The theme was prophetic priorities: 1) Family Home Evening 2) Family Prayer 3) Family Scripture Study. Adrienne Ellsworth, Bishop Wilson, and President Johansen were the speakers in sacrament meeting. It was a great meeting. A sister that I visit teach, Lynne Ritz, was here today and sat by us.
Mike Ellsworth taught Sunday School. The lesson was on Jacob 5-7, The Allegory of the Olive Tree.
Morgan Skeen taught Relief Society. The lesson was based on Sister Barbara Thompson's general conference address on personal revelation and testimony. President Johansen took the last few minutes and told how when he was called to be the stake president he was given ten minutes to choose his counselors. He said, Elder Pearson, the presiding authority told him that the Lord would help him, and he did.
Mine and Stacy's visiting teacher, Janny St. Onge, came by for her last visit today. Janny is going through a very difficult time right now. Her sister and best friend just passed away and she recently separated from her husband. In spite of these trials she continues to be an inspiration to all of us!
I called Harold today and he said he could arrange for us to have a U-Haul truck this week. Thanks Harold!
