Jesus Christ Atonement of
Romans 5:9
Much more the, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Book of Mormon
Ether 3:1-16
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland has said, in regards to the brother of Jared seeing the spiritual, premortal Jesus Christ: "Perhaps Christ was saying to the brother of Jared, 'Never have I shown myself unto man in this manner, without my volition, driven solely by the faith of the beholder.' As a rule, prophets are invited into the presence of the Lord, are bidden to enter his presence by Him and only with His sanction. The brother of Jared, on the other hand, seems to have thrust himself through the veil, not as an unwelcome guest but perhaps technically as an uninvited one. Said Jehovah: 'Never has man believed in me as thou hast.' Obviously the Lord himself was linking unprecedented faith with this unprecedented vision. If the vision itself was not unique, then it had to be the faith and how the vision was obtained that was unparalleled. The only way that faith could be so remarkable was its ability to take the prophet, uninvited, where others had been able to go only with God's bidding" (Christ and the New Covenant, 21-23).

Three Sisters
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
" What did the Savior teach? 'I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven.' This is the Savior's way. It is the first step in breaking down the barriers that create so much anger, hatred, division, and violence in the world."
A Yearning for Home
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"No matter your history - if you have faltered, failed, feel broken, bitter, betrayed or beaten - know that you are not alone. God still calls to you. The Savior extends His hand to you. He speaks with infinite love, 'Come Follow me.' If you will hear Him, He will speak to you this very day."
James works outside. I feel better so I caught up on my gospel study. I also worked on my blog but only got around 5,000 steps. I am still short of breath and I have limited energy.
We watched "12 Days of Giving" and loved it. It is one of the best Christmas movies that I've watched yet.
James worked until after dark, around 5:30, and then we went into town for hot and sour soup. James also had to stop at Home Depot. I laid low in the car at both places.
The trip to town was worth it not only for the soup but for the super yellow moon on the way home. It was the most beautiful moon I have ever seen.
To satisfy James's craving we watched Heartland tonight, "Where the Truth Lies."
