Jesus Christ, Glory of
DC 29:12
And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, and it hath gone forth in a firm decree, by the will of the Father, that mine apostles, the Twelve which were with me in my ministry at Jerusalem, shall stand at my right hand at the day of my coming in a pillar of fire, being clothed with robes of righteousness, with crowns upon their heads, in glory even as I am, to judge the whole house of Israel, even as many as have loved me and kept my commandments, and none else.
Book of Mormon
Helaman 6:1-14
New Testament 2 Corinthians 8-13 "God Loveth a Cheerful Giver"
2 Corinthians 10



General Conference
We Can Do Better and Be Better
President Russell M. Nelson
"The Lord needs selfless men who put the welfare of others ahead of their own. He needs men who intentionally work to hear the voice of the Spirit with clarity. He needs men of the covenant who keep their covenants with integrity. He needs men who are determined to keep themselves sexually pure - worthy men who can be called upon at a moment's notice to give blessings with pure hearts, clean minds, and willing hands. The Lord needs men eager to repent - men with a zeal to serve and be part of the Lord's battalion of worthy priesthood bearers."

I loved this talk by President Nelson even though it was given in the priesthood session. Here are some notes I took:
"Daily repentance brings purity and purity brings power."
Ways to improve:
1) Care for our bodies
2) Honor our spouses
3) Be a true disciple of Jesus Christ
4) Keep covenants with integrity
5) Communicate the Love of the Savior to your family

I texted my cousin Rita and wished her a happy birthday. She is one day less than a month younger than I am. We always wish each other happy birthdays.

I did some book buying today and repricing. I sold another copy of one of my most profitable books today. It's called Charlotte Huck's Guide to Children's Literature. I have sold five copies of this book and wish I had more.

James had a doctor's appointment today with Dr. DeLange. He is the doctor that did the procedure that determined that James has a hernia and needs surgery. They scheduled his surgery for October 15th. The doctor said most people opt out of this surgery because for two weeks afterwards you can only have liquids and then the next week only soft foods. 

One of the brothers that James ministers to, Anthony, had an allergic reaction to a medicine he was on. He went to the hospital and they put him on something to counteract the allergic reaction he had. They said if he had waited much longer it may have been to late. 

This evening James went up on the deck in Sheri's bedroom with his binoculars and found a huge bull elk with his cows. He was just across the way on the Crane's property.  I saw him too and he is beautiful. James says he has one of the widest racks he has ever seen. 




Tonight as I was eating one of my favorite snacks, brownie in a cup, I saw something fly close to me. I thought it was a bird but James said it was a bat. It flew over by the fireplace and he whacked it with something.

Yikes!

Living in the country requires critter control inside and out. James's bucket mouse trap is working great outside.
