Jesus Christ, Second Comforter

D&C 88:3-4

3 Wherefore, I now send upon you another Comforter, even upon you my friends, that it may abide in your hearts, even the Holy Spirit of promise; which other Comforter is the same that I promised unto my disciples, as is recorded in the testimony of John.

4 This Comforter is the promise which I give unto you of eternal life, even the glory of the celestial kingdom;

"To Heal the World"

Elder Ronald A. Rasband

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

There is another scourge sweeping the globe: attacks on your and my religious freedom. This growing sentiment seeks to remove religion and faith in God from the public square, schools, community standards, and civic discourse. Opponents of religious freedom seek to impose restrictions on expressions of heartfelt convictions. They even criticize and ridicule faith traditions.

Such an attitude marginalizes people, devaluing personal principles, fairness, respect, spirituality, and peace of conscience. 

What is religious freedom?

It is freedom of worship in all its configurations: freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom to act on personal beliefs, and freedom for others to do the same. Religious freedom allows each of us to decide for ourselves what we believe, how we live and act according to our faith, and what God expects of us.

I delivered Pam's cake at 6:45 and her gifts, lotion and body wash, and a Luke 1:37 plaque. 

Scriptures and prayers with James. I was tired and sat down in my bedroom recliner and turned on the TV and ended up watching "Pure Country" starring George Strait. I forgot how much I like him.

I made ham and scalloped potatoes for lunch today. 

Brian got here this afternoon. He immediately cooked Kim a steak with some veggies. He offered to cook me one too but I had already eaten. He also brought a case of Charmin toilet paper. I know that must have cost him at least $25. 

Kim put her puzzle away this afternoon because she realized she was not going to finish it. She went for a walk almost everyday so I think that is a good exchange for doing a puzzle. 

James unloaded bags of cement for the footings for the stable he is building for Luna. I wish he wouldn't lift heavy bags by himself. But he never asks for any help. 

This evening the four of us watched the Hallmark Movie and Mysteries movie, "Heart of the Matter", starring Aimee Teagarden. It was sad but it ended well and had a very good message.
