Jesus Christ, Second Comforter

Hebrews 12:21-24

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

"Our Relationship with God"

Elder D. Todd Christofferson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Some misunderstand the promises of God to mean that obedience to Him yields specific outcomes on a fixed schedule. They might think, "If I diligently serve a full-time mission, God will bless me with a happy marriage and children" or "If I refrain from doing schoolwork on the Sabbath, God will bless me with good grades" or "If I pay tithing, God will bless me with that job I've been wanting." If life doesn't fall out precisely this way or according to an expected timetable, they may feel betrayed by God. But things are not so mechanical in the divine economy. We ought not to think of God's plan as a cosmic vending machine where we (1) select a desired blessing, (2) insert the required sum of good works, and (3) the order is promptly delivered.

"Our Heartfelt All"

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Mark 12:41-44

Luke 21:1-4

I got up at 5 this morning and so did James. He said he was up at 4 and the water was off. He filled Luna's water trough last night and forgot to turn the water off. Luckily this was easily remedied.

Deven and Brandon Crane came to work for James today. I think Deven is 15 and Brandon is 13. They were good workers and very polite. 

I turned the air conditioner on today. Kim and Brian arrived this afternoon. Brian discovered there was a leak downstairs because the floor was wet. James went down and pulled back the carpet and took a couple of fans down and our little space heater. He also admitted that he had turned the water on in the planter which is above Kim and Brian's room, and left it on because he forgot. Oh dear.

I made rolls and a box cake to help Millie Scott take dinner to the Judd family. I dropped them off to Millie around 5:30 and she took them over to the Judd's. She made stew and a fruit salad. Millie takes lots of meals to other people. She took two weeks worth of meals to the Bowen's when Brother Bowen's father and brother passed away.

Brian cooked Kim some eggs and ham. She has type 2 diabetes and has gone off of her meds so she really needs to watch what she eats. While Brian was cooking Kim was working on a 2,000 piece puzzle that Joe gave her for Mother's Day. 

For dinner James and I had asparagus and corndogs.

After dinner James did some indexing and I blogged and walked. 

I listened to the "Sunday on Monday" podcast today and really enjoyed it. She did a scripture chain and called the discourses of Moses, Moses' love letters to his people. 

James and I listened to a chapter of our book, Roxbury Heirs, Facing the Enemy before going to bed. I think Brian slept downstairs and Kim slept upstairs on the recliner.
