"Infuriating Unfairness"
Elder Dale G. Renlund
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Our decisions can yield long-term advantages or disadvantages. As the Lord revealed, "If a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come." When others receive benefits because of their diligent choices, we cannot rightly conclude that we have been treated unfairly when we have had the same opportunity.
Restoration Procamation
P9
With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles invite all to know - as we do - that the heavens are open. We affirm that God is making known His will for His beloved sons and daughters. We testify that those who prayerfully study the message of the Restoration and act in faith will be blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity and of its purpose to prepare the world for the promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
A beautiful day to work outside. James poured concrete for fenceposts. He also cleaned out the dirt in the garage and washed the Razr. He felt good when he came in this evening saying he had accomplished all of his goals.
This morning he fixed me oatmeal and cantaloupe and watermelon for breakfast. He was on a roll. I am still struggling to catch up even though the pain in my sciatic nerve is gone. This truly is a miracle to me especially after it hurting so badly I had to spend two days in bed.
I was in the mood so I made cookies instead of dinner. Or, I guess you could say, I made cookies for dinner.
I am so impressed with the early members of the Church in this week's "Come Follow Me" lesson. These men traveled thousands of miles in the snow to preach the gospel they had just received. They had little or no training or experience. They put their trust in God who said he would go with them. The mission to the Lamanites was not a waste even though not one American Indian was baptized. Over 100 people in Kirtland joined the Church as a result of this mission.
Among those converts were future influential Church leaders, including Sidney Rigdon, and Kirtland later became an important gathering place for the Church.
