Jesus Christ, Prophecies about

Mosiah 13:33

 For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah, and that God should redeem his people? Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began - have they not spoken more or less concerning these things?

"Hope in Christ"

President M. Russell Ballard

Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

He "hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men...; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men." In the end, "the saints shall be filled with his glory, and receive their inheritance" as "joint-heirs with Christ."

The Articles of Faith

#10

We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

Inklings

Peter walked on the water. 

Lord, are you here?

Ate, took some Tramadol and went back to bed. 

Anthony can't find his breathing machine that the elders delivered on Tuesday. James called the elders and they said they put it on his porch. Anthony finally found it in the back of his truck in a bag. Here is what he thinks happened. He was a little delirious and saw a bag sitting on his front porch and thought it was trash so he put it in the back of his truck. The sad thing is that he's had the machine since Tuesday and just now found it. 

James and I went to town to mail Joshua's birthday card like I mailed Rowan's on Monday. It felt good to get out of the house for a little while. We love all of the flowers and green from the rain. It rained again today. James suggested that we go for a ride up on the mountain tomorrow to see the wildflowers up there. I told him I thought that was a good idea.

The First Presidency came out with a statement today regarding masks and vaccinations which caused quite a stir in our family. Here is the statement made by the First Presidency:

Now that James and I have experienced Covid we should have immunities built up. Stacy says it is dangerous to get the vaccine to close after having Covid. The CDC is not sure what affect the vaccine has on people who have auto-immune diseases which I have and many in our family have. This reminds me of the Israelites being told by the prophet Moses to  look at the snake on the stick to be healed and many would not. 

So sad to see this house go. It has been a major landmark

for years.

This is the church I grew up in when I

lived in Show Low as a youth.
