Jesus Christ, Prophecies about
1 Nephi 22:12
Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and they shall be gathered together to the lands of the inheritance; and they shall be brought out of obscurity and out of darkness; and they shall know that the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.
Book of Mormon
Alma 44:16-45:14
Q: What happens to those who sin against "so great light and knowledge"?
A: They dwindle in unbelief. When people turn against God their lives lose their meaning and purpose as to God's plan for them. They become a light unto themselves and lose those blessings God has in store for them.

"Come Follow Me"
85:6 The Spirit speaks with a still small voice.

"Hearts Knit Together"
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The Lord expects us to teach that inclusion is a positive means toward unity and that exclusion leads to division.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are dismayed when we hear of how children of God are mistreated based on their race. We have been heartbroken to hear of recent attacks on people who are Black, Asian, Latino, or of any other group. Prejudice, racial tension, or violence should never have any place in our neighborhoods, communities, or within the Church.
Let each of us, no matter our age, strive to be our best.

We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
Inklings
"Miracles can come as answers to prayer. They are not always what we ask for or what we expect, but when we trust in the Lord, He will be there, and He will be right. He will suit the miracle to the moment we need it."
-Elder Ronald A. Rasband
Up at 5:39.
"Sometimes the things that hold you down are the things that hold you up." -A Theodore Tuttle
Commandments, rules, and words of the prophets keep us anchored.
James is sick. It is 9:30 and he is still asleep. I thought 9:30 was late but he actually slept until 2:30. He wanted me to arrange a Covid test for him. I tried CVS but they are no longer doing them. I tried Sonoran Quest but there are no tests within 100 miles. I also tried Walgreen's, but it was the same.
I was frustrated with technology today. My Gospel Library app wouldn't work so I had to delete it and re-download it, which took awhile. When I went to order my prescriptions on my Walmart app, it didn't work so I had to delete it and re-download it. Then I spent time trying to get a Covid test and that was frustrating. I am grateful for technology most of the time, except when it doesn't work right.
Pierce brought over a bag full of meds for James to take and our neighbor Kathy brought over homemade chicken noodle soup and some rolls. James ate the soup and I ate the rolls.
I am frustrated because whenever James feels a little bit better he goes outside to work. He didn't stay out too long. When he came back in he did some indexing. I indexed, blogged, and walked today.
The funniest name I indexed today was the name Hehe.
I got a ecard from my friend Karen S. today. She said she had started going out but now that Covid numbers seem to be rising she is back to staying at home, so we won't be able to go to lunch.
I listened to "Don't Miss This", "Follow Him," and "KUnshaken" today. I also ordered two books by Louise Hay, the lady who cured herself of cancer.
I read from five of my books: "Grace Where you Are", "Eve...." "Written in Our Hearts", "Cornerstones of the Restoration", and "God will Prevail."
James slept on the recliner so he could be upright. I slept there too until 4:30 a.m.
