Jesus Christ, Resurrection
Helaman 14:20
But behold, as I said unto you concerning another sign, a sign of his death, behold, in that day that he shall suffer death the sun shall
be darkened and refuse to give his light unto you; and also the moon and the stars; and there shall be no light upon the face of this land, even from the time that he shall suffer death, for the space of three days, to the time that he shall rise again from the dead.

"Addressing Mental Health"
Elder Erich W. Kopischke
Of the Seventy
One of the first things we need to learn is that we are certainly not alone. I invite you to study the topic of mental health in the LIfe Help section of the Gospel Library app. Learning will lead to more understanding, more acceptance, more compassion, more love. It can lessen tragedy while helping us develop and manage healthy expectations and healthy interactions.

I listened to Anthony Sweat and Emily Belle talk about Holy Covenants of the temple. Today Anthony focused on the law of the Gospel and the law of chastity. I followed along in my book.

Ginger and I did scripture study together this morning. I texted her some verses to read from the Book of Mormon and from the "Come Follow Me" lesson about Abraham. I asked some questions and she answered them and I made some comments too. It was good and she is so excited to be studying the scriptures with someone. She is such a sweetheart! I have never met anyone so kind and good as she is. 

This afternoon James and I went into town to pick up his prescription for his colonoscopy. James needed to us the bathroom but the bathroom at CVS was closed so he got his prescription and went across the street to Burger King to use their bathroom. He left me shopping at CVS. I am only sending out two Valentines this year, one for Pam and one for Ginger. Usually I make and send Valentines to all of my grandchildren but I just wasn't up for it this year. I wished I would have sent one to Charlie and Scarlett but I think I've waited too late. 

When I was finished shopping James still wasn't back so I texted him and asked him where he was. He said he was waiting for his Whopper Jr. I told him I would walk over, which I did. Of course he got me a Whopper Jr. too.  The only problem with the burgers is James had asked for mustard instead of mayo but they ignored him. He was trying to replicate our Whataburgers.

We dropped a box of books off at Goodwill and then went to Tractor Supply to get some more food for our pet pig, I mean horse. 
Before leaving town we stopped at McDonald's for an ice cream and some fries. Did you know a small order of fries cost $3.00. Yikes! No more fries for me!

James may not serve in the temple on Saturday so he asked for a substitute list. I guess he told Brother Hamblin, the new men's coordinator, that I have been sick and may not be there. I was planning on going. I didn't want to let Sister Hamblin down her first week as coordinator.

I read part of the first chapter of "The Cleansing of America" this evening. Here is what the first paragraph of the book says: 
Based on the writings of the prophets, the divine destiny of America cannot be completely realized until at least nine things have happened. Let us list the events and then we will see what the Lord and His prophets have said about them. For the next three nights I will list three events each night.

1. The message of the restored gospel must FLOOD THE EARTH in order to search out the remnants of Israel and prepare them for the great last gathering. Since 1989, nearly the whole world has been gradually opening up so this could be accomplished.

2. The great gathering cannot take place until America has been cleansed. The refers to the near future when the "time of the Gentiles" in America will be fulfilled. At that time the wickedness of the Gentiles will have so thoroughly "sinned against the gospel" and "descecrated the land" that it will go beyond the further endurance of God.

3. The Lord says the means by which America will be cleansed includes a desolating scourge which will eliminate the elements of wickedness among the Gentiles as well as the members of the Church.

More to come tomorrow.

Someday my cakes will look like this

I devised my own system like this once when
our stuff was in storage for a couple of years

Great idea!
