Jesus Christ, Prophecies about
John 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Book of Mormon
Alma 37:27-47
". . . there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ."(v.9)
The only sure way to success; He is the hope that looks through any trial and even death. "I have learned that not shrinking is more important than surviving." - Neal A. Maxwell
Jesus did not shrink.

"They Cannot Prevail: We Cannot Fall"
Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong
Of the Seventy
I hope and pray that we all will find and stay on the sure foundation as we establish our future life. We are reminded in Helaman 5:12: "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
"Our Personal Savior"
Elder Michael John U. Teh
Of the Seventy
Second, as we are increasingly coming to know the Savior, scriptural passages and the words of the prophets become so intimately meaningful to us that they become our own words. It is not about copying the words, feelings, and experiences of others as much as it is coming to know for ourselves, in our own unique way, by experimenting upon the word and receiving a witness from the Holy Ghost.
The Living Christ
#10
We testify that He will someday return to earth. "And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together" (Isaiah 40:5). He will rule as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak in worship before Him. Each of us will stand to be judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our hearts.
Up at 5:15. Today is Summer's birthday. I hope she received our card. I'm not sure how old Summer is, I think a little younger than Anna.
I broke the frames of my glasses the other day so I reverted to using my old prescription. I sent a picture of the broken glasses to Sheri and she said she could not fix them, so I began pulling out all of my old glasses, hoping there would be a frame she could put my new lenses in. I have three pair.
Sheri called James this morning about leaks at Chandler Eyecare. She always wants her dad's opinion on construction matters.
Trina texted James this morning, "We love you." He texted back that he loved them too and it was wonderful to receive such a message first thing in the morning.
James brought me my breakfast around 8 a.m. He loves to feed things. He admitted to me that there is enough feed in the field for Luna but he buys her feed because she loves it so much. He also feeds the hummingbirds. The other day he bought a new feeder so now we have two again. He really does have such a kind and caring heart and loves to bring other's joy.
I had an appointment for 1:30 with our neighbor Chelsea. She has been gone to Alaska with her husband for a few months but now she is back. I am her ministering sister. I took four sugar cookies, a couple of quotes for Chelsea and a couple of pictures of the Savior each for her two young daughters, Peyton and Scotlyn.
When I got to Chelsea's no one was there. I knocked on the door, no answer. No vehicles were home. I texted Chelsea and she called me. Our conversation went something like this: Hi, I meant to call you this morning but was in such a hurry I forgot. We had to leave this morning to pick up Brutus in Colorado Springs. I knew Brutus liked to wander but Colorado Springs was a bit of a stretch. She said that someone had brought him back from Alaska for them and they were required to pick him up in Colorado. I told her I would pray for them and would she please let me know when she arrived home safely. She said she would. I told her about the cookies, and pictures, and she thanked me.
I went on to the post office and was pleased to see a couple of packages from Amazon. One was refills for James's pen and the other a book I had ordered, "Opening the Seven Seals."
I read to James from "Promise of Spring" and while I walked I listened to "For Elise". I also spoke to Sister Wilhelm, not Sandra, but her mother-in-law, about her ministering. She had just returned from Bear Lake, Idaho where she is from. We discussed each of her sisters and she made a suggestion that I wrote down to discuss with Tamara. It was a pleasant visit.
While I worked on indexing I watched another episode of "The Chosen." This one is called "Reckoning." The Savior is arrested and taken to Quintus but was soon released. The apostles are upset because of the arrest of John the Baptist by Herod. Matthew is feeling more acceptance from Simon.
James saw about 20 elk in our field this afternoon. Here are some pictures he took:
James got a call from Brother Elmer, the temple coordinator for the brothers on our shift. His wife is the sisters coordinator. He wants James to officiate at the 9:30 session tomorrow and had some things to tell him. He and Sister Elmer both have Covid.
I finished my blog around 5 pm at which time I went in to fix dinner. I had already started some baked potatoes in the oven and now I made mine and James's favorite salad, apples, nuts, bacon, feta cheese, dried cranberries and romained lettuce with poppy seed dressing. This time I used sliced almonds instead of walnuts and it was just as tasty. I also heated up the rest of the shrimp in the freezer and walla, a nice meal.
Before going to bed I read several chapters from Sister Nelson's book, "The Heavens are Open." I read this book in January of 2020. It is an easy read and I do like Sister Nelson's style of writing.
Happy Birthday Summer!
