Jesus Christ, Light of the World
3 Nephi 9:18
I am the light and the life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
Alma 44-45; "Don't Miss This"; Book of Mormon Central; Teaching with Power
April 2020 General Conference
"An Especially Noble Calling"
Joy D. Jones
Child: "Is it hard to be a prophet? Are you, like, really busy?"
President Nelson: " Of course it's hard. Everything to do with becoming more like the Savior is difficult.
The Lord loves effort, because effort brings rewards that can't come without it."
Sister Jones: "President Nelson's response to these precious children extends to each one of us. The Lord loves effort, and effort brings rewards. We keep practicing. We are always progressing as long as we are striving to follow the Lord."


James left for the valley early this morning after family prayer and making himself and me some tea. I will miss him. He called to tell me when he arrived safely. He will be working on Mario's houses and will probably go out to Peoria to check on the job there. He will spend the night at Sheri's. On the way down he got stopped about 40 minutes near Superior because of construction.

I listened to Kris and Kathy this morning on the book webinar training. Kathy answered my question about how to turn off the In-Stock Head Start program to keep my books from going into stranded. Thanks Kathy!

 As I was listening to Dave and Emily in "Don't Miss This" they issued this challenge: What is your cause? What is your cause until the end of 2020? What is your cause this month? What is your cause today? The challenge: What is my cause?

Also while listening to Dave and Emily I realized that the Book of Mormon in Alma 46:15 has a great definition of what a Christian is:
  A Christian:
1.) True believers of Christ
2.) Faithful to Christ
3.) Took upon them gladly, the name of Christ.

Who can dispute that definition of a Christian? And, it comes directly from the Book of Mormon.

I caught up on my blog today. The computer actually behaved quite well today. I also did a lot of gospel study. Kim sent out our study topic for the Lambson study group this week. It is, "Trust in the Lord." She also sent four talks for us to read and study. This is a great topic!

Although I fed Luna her three meals today I felt sorry for her because James was not here to ride her. So far I have not been brave enough to even attempt a ride. Maybe when James gets back.

No rain today, just sunshine and temperatures in the 80's.
