Jesus Christ, Prophecies about
Moses 6:57
Wherefore teach it unto your children, that all men, everywhere, must repent, or they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God, for no unclean thing can dwell there, or dwell in his presence; for, in the language of Adam, Man of Holiness is his name, and the name of his Only Begotten is the Son of Man, even Jesus Christ, a righteous Judge, who shall come in the meridian of time.
Book of Mormon
Alma 61:6-21
D&C
97:18-28 The Promise of Zion
"Come Follow Me"
How have making and keeping temple covenants brought "power from on high" into my life?
What do we learn about chastening from this lesson?
According to verse 97:8 how can we be "accepted of" the Lord?

"Hearts Knit Together"
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
As we look through a gospel lens, we recognize that we too are under the watchcare of a compassionate caregiver, who extends Himself in kindness and a nurturing spirit. The Good Shepherd knows each one of us by name and has a personal interest in us. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said: "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep. . . . And I will lay down my life for the sheep."


The Living Christ
 As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth.

I slept on the recliner in the bedroom last night. It was the best nights sleep I've had in awhile. I made James some oatmeal and then shared my most delicious Arizona burro which has onions, potatoes, salsa, and steak. James said, "I should have gotten myself one of these. It's almost as good as Tony's breakfast burro at Burger House." I told you honey!

I worked on my blog while James worked on a tax project for the account. This project takes him back to 2014. He was upset because my check ledger didn't go back that far. I told him all records were online on the bank site. 

We took the truck into town this afternoon to have the oil changed. The town of Show Low is overflowing with people. We got the oil changed at Walmart where I did some grocery shopping and picked up a prescription. While I'm shopping James goes over to Home Depot to get some nails to take back with him to the valley on Monday. He is going to frame the LaCroix job himself because the framer he hired never showed up. 

We had lunch at Taco Bell. This outing wore me out. I was tired and sore when we got back home. James helped me put the groceries away. I then take a nap and finish my blog while watching "The Great British Baking Show." 

James was stressed about having to go through 72 months of bank statements, since 2014. I told him not to worry about it I would do it for him on Monday. He was excited!

Today I also listened to the Talking Scripture podcast on D&C 94-97. They talked about the rebuke from the Lord of the Saints in Kirkland for not building a temple when they were first asked. I was impressed that as soon as this revelation was received Hyrum Smith immediately grabbed his scythe and began clearing the field. "We are preparing to build a house for the Lord," he said, "and I am determined to be the first at the work."


We watched the latest Hallmark romcom movie tonight called, "Journey of My Heart." This movie was filmed in Alaska and the scenery was gorgeous. There were many bald eagles and a huge bear. I loved the male lead played by Darien Martin. It was very enjoyable.

We are fasting for James's health and especially his cancer.
