Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son

Remember the circumstances of the Prophet Joseph Smith. Looked at through the lens of adversities, his life was one of poverty, persecution, frustration, family sorrows, and ultimate martyrdom. As he suffered imprisonment, his wife and children and the other Saints suffered incredible hardships as they were driven out of Missouri.
When Joseph pleaded for relief, the Lord answered:
"My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
"And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes" (Doctrine and Covenants 121:7-8).
This was the personal, eternal counsel that helped the Prophet Joseph to maintain his native cheery temperament and the love and loyalty of his people. These same qualities strengthened the leaders and pioneers who followed and can strengthen you as well.
P1 S3
By the power of the Father, Jesus rose again and gained the victory over death.
The Living Christ
P2 S2
Under the direction of His Father, He was the creator of the earth.
We got more snow today. Jared and Kacey had their water turned off today. Jared thinks the city turned everyone's water off. They had been preparing and had their bathtub filled with water, drinking water in the frig and they are using snow to flush toilets and wash dishes and take sponge baths.
The reason they have electricity and so many other people don't is because there is a senior living apartment complex behind them and they have dedicated electric for the complex and Jared and Kacey are on the same grid.
Jared is in the elder's quorum presidency and has been helping people deal with the storm all week. They have been moving people without electricity into homes that have electricity and helping people get firewood to heat their homes.
James and I started the next Sadie Hoffmiller book, "Wedding Cake." Here is a description:
After years of mysteries, murder, and mayhem, the big day has arrived, and Sadie wants nothing more than for her wedding to Pete to be completely uneventful. When she receives a threatening, anonymous text message just days before the ceremony, she's determined not to let it interfere with the celebration she has carefully planned for months. But as the threat escalates from a distant fear to a frightening reality, Sadie realizes just how much she's underestimated the situation. Desperate to put an end to the games, lies, and manipulation that has shadowed her life, Sadie, her fiance, Pete, and her children pull out all the stops. What they don't know, however, is just how far Sadie's nemesis is willing to go to make good on the threat she made to Sadie three years ago.
Will the wedding go off without a hitch, or will "'til death do us part" come far too soon? There's no turning back for anyone in the riveting conclusion to this twelve-volume culinary mystery series.
I was tired most of the day today because of a lack of sleep last night. I took a nap and then continued with my normal daily activities. James is having a discussion with Anthony as to whether angels have wings or not. Anthony is a convert and he has believed all of his life that angels do have wings. James did a little search on the Church website and found some quotes by prophets but Anthony still needed more convincing. Pierce Goodman and Jerry Scott went out to help Anthony's neighbor who was stuck in the snow and finally convinced Anthony that real angels do not have wings.
I made a new infusion appointment since I had to cancel the one I had on February 8th. This one will be on March 8th.
James and I watched one of my favorite Hallmark movies today, "How To Train Your Husband." James liked it almost as much as I do. I got over 13,000 steps today and blogged and indexed. My indexing total for February is now 3,183.
use to race his 1957 Chevy here.
