Alma 42:15 - Mercy
And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also.

'Recommended To The Lord
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
To be "recommended to the Lord" is to be reminded of what is expected of a covenant-keeping Latter-day Saint. My father-in-law, Blaine, saw it as invaluable preparation for the day when he would humbly stand before the Lord.
Consider when Moses climbed Mount Horeb and the Lord Jehovah appeared to him in a burning bush. God told him, "Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Putting off our shoes at the door of the temple is letting go of worldly desires or pleasures that distract us from spiritual growth, setting aside those things which sidetrack our precious mortality, rising above contentious behavior, and seeking time to be holy.
When the Lord appeared to the Nephites, He commanded, "Be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me" "What manner of men ought ye to be?" asked the Lord and then answered, "Even as I am." To be "recommended to the Lord," we strive to be like Him.

This Church is anchored in the perfect life of its chief cornerstone, Jesus Christ, and in His infinite Atonement and literal Resurrection.
Off to a slow start this morning so I took some aspirin and then felt better but experienced some nausea so I had to eat something. It's a vicious cycle, but I didn't let it get me down so I was able to accomplish some worthwhile goals. I finished two blog posts and stripped the rest of the wax off the floor. I also indexed and walked.
James is ordering supplies and concrete for the Konkle job. He was able to get a better price on concrete than from Desert Ready Mix and also they can deliver sooner. He went to get the mail today, and surprisingly we had none, but he mailed my Amazon merchant fulfilled order for the book, "Buddha is Hiding" which will be delivered to someone in San Antonio, Texas.
I fixed a taco casserole for dinner. It's a new recipe and James loved it. I said it was very similar to my taco soup recipe only it wasn't as soupy. He said he liked it better. Maybe it was the crushed Nacho Dorito chips that make the crust.
I should have been filling out the 15 pages I have to take to Sonoran Spine on Monday, but instead I indexed. My February total is now at 750.
I watched an older Hallmark movie about a reporter who goes on assignment to a wilderness resort where they do "glamping." Glamping is "glamorous camping." The tent has a real bed, bathroom facilities, electricity, running water, and a wood-burning stove. Also there is tent service where you meals are delivered like they are in a hotel with room service. Now that's my kind of camping. The movie was filmed in British Columbia and I guess there are several resorts that actually do "glamping."
