'The Culture of Christ'
Elder William K. Jackson
We can cherish the best of our individual earthly cultures and be full participants in the eternal culture that comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ.
P5 S3
It teaches of life's purpose and explains the doctrine of Christ, which is central to that purpose.
One of the first books I bought when I first began selling books was a book called, "Noddy Bedtime Stories." It was published in England. I actually had two copies and I just sold the last one, merchant fulfilled. I probably didn't make any/much money but I sold it! If you didn't see the word Noddy, you might think it was naughty, but this is a children's book!
I am in the process of getting a book shipment ready. I keep my boxes outside in the garage, folded up. I went out and got a box out and opened it up. There was a bad odor and as I looked into the box I saw a squished mouse smashed on the side. I freaked out and yelled for James. He "took care of the mouse" and washed the side of the box and wanted me to use it. I looked inside and it stilled smelled bad. I couldn't use it. I had to get another box. I left the box in the garage to "air out."
James and I are enjoying our book, "Devil's Food Cake, A Culinary Mystery." It's one thing we do together that we really look forward to.
James went to see Dr. Moffat today. The doctor asked him how many steps he takes in a day. James told him between 10,000 - 12,000. Dr. Moffat said, "I want you to take less that 1,000 steps a day. Lay down, elevate your knee and put heat on it. Heat will help to heal. Do not use ice. I'm not looking forward to trying to keep James at 1,000 steps a day.
This evening we went to the Goodman's for "Come Follow Me." It was us, the Peeler's, and the Goodman's. The Crane's did not come because Chuck had a procedure done on his big toe today and was not feeling well. They really missed out. Instead of using the manual and reading the lesson we watched a YouTube video. Let me back up just a minute. When I walked in Brother Peeler seemed very happy to see me. He said I was one of the best Book of Mormon scholars he knew. (I was flattered, but did not feel worthy).
Sister Goodman discovered a new source of a "Come Follow Me" supplement. She asked us if we had ever heard of Brother Jared Halverson. None of us had. She said he was the best she had ever heard and very thorough, discussing every verse. This caught our interest and we all wanted to watch the video. She warned us that it was two parts, each about 1 hour and 45 minutes. We said we wanted to give it a try. We enjoyed it so much we watched the entire first part, which was a little less than two hours. James said he felt like a spiritual pygmy after listening to Brother Halverson. We were both excited to watch the next part of the lesson though. Barbara and Pierce served us apple or cherry turnovers they bought at Sam's Club. It was such an enjoyable evening and we are so excited about learning more from Brother Halverson.
