"Our Personal Savior"
Elder Michael John U. Teh
Of the Seventy
An increasing understanding that the Atonement of Jesus Christ applies to us personally and individually will help us know Him. Oftentimes it is easier for us to think and speak of Christ's Atonement in general terms than to recognize its personal significance in our lives. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is infinite and eternal and all-encompassing in its breadth and depth but wholly personal and individual in its effects. Because of His atoning sacrifice, the Savior has power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us one by one.
"Christ Is Risen; Faith In Him Will Move Mountains"
President Russell M. Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Study. Become an engaged learner. Immerse yourself in the scriptures to understand better Christ's mission and ministry. Know the Doctrine of Christ so that you understand its power for your life. Internalize the truth that the Atonement of Jesus Christ applies to you. He took upon Himself your misery, your mistakes, your weakness, and your sins. He paid the compensatory price and provided the power for you to move every mountain you will ever face. You obtain that power with your faith, trust, and willingness to follow Him.
Ten Virtues

Faith
Great buildings were never constructed on uncertain foundations. Great causes were never brought to success by vacillating leaders. Faith has always been, and always must be, at the root of any meaningful practice and endeavor.
One of the first things I did this morning was go outside to take pictures of sunflowers. I was not watching where I was going and fell through the rotten place in the decking. I should say I fell half way through as I did not land on the ground. As I was lying there I was debating whether to call James who was in the dining room, or get up myself. I decided it would be less embarrassing if I got up myself, which I managed to do. My right side where my ribs are, felt like someone had shot me. I had a knot on my left knee and later realized I had three large bruises on my right leg. Good News, I can walk!
I went in to tell James and he reminded me of how he broke ribs when Luna bucked him off last November and how long it has taken for him to finally get over most of the pain.
August has been an interesting month. First Covid and now this. It really was the best of times and the worst of times. The best of times, my birthday and having Jared, Kacey, and Charlie come to visit so James could ordain Jared a High Priest and we could celebrate Charlie's 3rd birthday. Also, Darrel and Trina allowed their kids to get a pet, Tater Tot, all because of Ruby's power point presentation.
I can barely move. I move from the recliner in my room to the recliner in the family room. My left leg is stiff and sore and boy those ribs make it where I can barely move.
The tech from Dish came while I was lying on the recliner in the bedroom. Thank goodness James was home to let her in, etc. She was here just a few minutes. She got the satellite working, or so we thought, but said if we had more problems to just call again.
I read several chapters from "God Will Prevail." James and I listened to a chapter from our book. Now I'm watching "The Great British Baking Show." James is so happy to have gotten his permits for the LaCroix job.
Hallmark channel 187 HD is not working. I already paid $95 so I want this channel to work because it is one that I watch often. I called Dish and they are sending another tech out tomorrow.
Sheri offered to come and take care of me. She is so sweet! Stacy, Paul, and Joshua were going to come up this weekend but I think they decided not to come.
I really want to work at the temple on Saturday. I think I will be able to but James says, no way. I need to call my co-ordinator, Sister Elmer.
Notes from MindBody Toolkit chapter 4. "Use Your Words."
"Whether a man believes he can or he cannot, he is always right." - Henry Ford
Your words are the beliefs you hold most strongly. The voice that has the greatest impact on your cells is your own.
AFFIRMATION: "I speak possibility and life responds accordingly."
"God Will Prevail" chapter 2. "Establishing the Covenant"
*Because death entered the world there had to be baptism so that we could be born again.
