Jesus Christ, Savior
Helaman 14:15
For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord.
Book of Mormon
Mosiah 23:16-39
"Come Follow Me"
Leviticus 1:1-9; 16 Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I can be forgiven. Exodus 39-40.
Of the Seventy
On Friday, October 28, 1588, having lost its rudder to being governed solely by oar, the ship LaGirona, belonging to the great Spanish Armada, collided with the rocks of Lacada Point in Northern Ireland. The ship capsized. One of the castaways struggling to survive wore a gold ring given to him a few months earlier by his wife with the inscription, "I have nothing more to give you." "I have nothing more to give you" -a phrase and a ring with the design of a hand holding a heart, an expression of love from a wife to her husband.
"Ladder of Faith"
Elder Larry S. Kacher
Of the Seventy
How will life's challenges affect our faith in Jesus Christ? And what effect will our faith have on the joy and peace we experience in this life?
I forgot to mention something that happened last Saturday on our way to the temple at 5:30 in the morning. We saw Jared Ammon out running on Highway 60. It reminded me of what a good runner he was in high school and college. I am glad he is still running.
I woke up at 4 this morning. I started my walking routine. My goal is to be finished with 20,000 steps by 11 a.m. I also did some indexing, and some household chores.
This afternoon I went to Dollar General. I bought five 4x6 frames for $3.00 a piece. On the way home I stopped at the post office and mailed Paul's pills. Still no wallet.
When I got home James was ready for a rest so we sat down on the recliners in our bedroom and watched the movie "Jane and Emma" on my phone. The movie is about the relationship between Jane Manning James and Emma Smith. Jane was never allowed to be sealed to her husband but she was sealed to Joseph and Emma as a servant. I wonder how that will work out.
Kacey sent me a talk given by Sister Marriott at BYU. The name of the talk is "Pointing Our Souls to Christ." "We gain divine help and develop a closeness to Him that strengthens us on our journey to our Heavenly home."
I loved chapter 20 and 21 of "The Holy Secret". It talks about the oath and covenant of the priesthood as found in D&C 84 and how it applies to the temple. I am transcribing it to see if I can use it in teaching the Grombach's the last temple lesson.
I am also reading the Saints. Jane Manning James was mentioned. She lived in Salt Lake City. When she passed away a huge crowd came to her funeral. She was such an amazing, faithful woman.
James went with the Peeler's today to pay for the cabinets they picked out. James ended up saving them $3,000. Owen was so happy he took him to lunch at Firehouse Subs. He even brought a sub home for me.
When James gets home I was gone to Dollar General. He called me and I told him what I was doing. It's so sweet that he always wants to know where I am.
We had temple prep class with the Grombach's this evening. This is lesson #5 which talks about the importance of symbols in the temple. When Janna first came in she told us that her mother fell again and this one hurt her back. She injured her back a few years ago when she took a bad fall at the temple. She was working in the laundry room when it happened. She had to have surgery and it took her a long time to recover. Janna's mom is my friend Pat Tedder. I immediately put her on my prayer roll, our family prayer roll, and the prayer roll at the temple.
Charlie says the people are lined up
waiting to get into the city.
Happy Birthday to my brother Dennis!

We work with them at the temple
