'Sustainable Societies'
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
I think it safe to say that when people turn from a sense of accountability to God and begin to trust instead in the "arm of flesh, disaster lurks. Trusting in the arm of flesh is to ignore the divine Author of human rights and human dignity and to give highest priority to riches, power, and the praise of the world (while often mocxking and persecuting those who follow a different standard). Meanwhile, those in sustainable societies are seeking, as King Benjamin said, to "grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created them, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true."
P5 S4
As a companion scripture to the Bible, the Book of Mormon testifies that all human beings are sons and daughters of a loving Father in Heaven, that He has a divine plan for our lives, and that His Son, Jesus Christ, speaks today as well as in day of old.
The January book season is here and I've been selling some books. Since I started in 2019 these are my stats: Sold 723 books with sales of $24,166.42. Too bad I'm not making more money, if I was, I would stick with it. I've sold six CISA Manuals with the last five sales being in Bowling Green, Ohio.
James and I went to town to pick up Tramadol and tacos. It was my idea to get tacos because I had a craving. We were going to go to LaCasita but the parking lot was full so we ended up going to Filiberto's. The taco I had was okay, but nothing special.
After lunch we made our way to Walmart. James went to pick up the tramadol while I did some shopping. I am pretty disgusted with this Walmart. The store is messy, the shelves are empty, there are boxes stacked everywhere and employees are pushing big carts around making it hard to shop.
James got horse feed, came back and picked up my Tramadol. James helped me check out. I had bought two small containers of cream of tartar which I use in my snickerdoodle cookies. James had just cleaned out the spice drawer and put lots of duplicates downstairs. He had told me to check to see if we already had it before I bought anymore spices. I had not checked. I bought two bottles to have on hand. When he saw them he got upset and said we already had some at home. He thought I was deliberately defying him, which I was not. I just like to have things on hand. I had, I thought used all of the cream of tartar the last time I made snickerdoodles. Any way, it was a ridiculous thing to have an argument over. It's the little things sometimes that make all of the difference.
To make matters worse, on the way out of Walmart, as James took off his mask, he dropped his glasses. The frame broke and one of the lenses fell out. I gave him the frames and lens. He put the lens back in and as he was walking out to the car the lens fell out and he lost it.
I got two packages today. One was the Joseph Smith Papers book I ordered with my Deseret Book gift card, and the other was some small notebooks I ordered from Amazon. James asked why I needed more notebooks. I reminded him that he told me I could use my Amazon gift card for anything I wanted. He apologized and said I was right.
I was able to blog and get my steps today. I am grateful I feel well enough to do both of these things. I'm still watching the winter Hallmark movies.
