Mosiah 27:25

And the Lord said unto me: marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, chanted from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters;

Alma 60:29-61:5

60:34 And now behold, I, Moroni, am constrained, according to the covenant which I have made to keep the commandments of my God; therefore I would that ye should adhere to the word of God, and send speedily unto me of your provisions and of you men, and also to Helaman.

"But We Heeded Them Not"

Elder David A. Bednar

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

"I witness that fidelity to the covenants and ordinances of the Savior's restored gospel enables us to press on in the work of the Lord, to hold fast to Him as the Word of God, and to heed not the allurements of the adversary. In the fight for right, may each of us wield a sword, even "the mighty sword of truth," in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Brent Lambson posted something about George Washington on Facebook. It basically said that George read the Bible and prayed two hours every day, one in the morning and one at night. I was so impressed with that it created in me a desire to study the gospel even more.

I got a call from Sheri this morning. She said Nancy Van Vleet's grandson, Tom's son, committed suicide. So many youth are filled with anxiety and part of it is, I think, because of social media and the condition of the world right now. 

I made a meatloaf, baked potatoes, and green beans for lunch. It's one of James's favorite meals. He had just gotten home from the Thompson's and we had lunch together and then said our fast prayer. 

We are fasting for the war in Ukraine and to end personal conflicts in our lives. James also mentioned our health in the prayer.

I washed the inside of the windows that I washed the outside of yesterday. I also did two blog posts one for Monday and one for Tuesday. 

I watched an older Hallmark movie, "A Valentine's Match" starring Bethany Joy Lenz and Luke MacFarlane. I liked this quote:

"Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder."

I didn't do any painting today but I did order our new bedspread. This is the one I chose:

James's favorite

James and I watched a GAC movie this evening. It is an older one starring Trevor Donovan and an actress I am not familiar with. The name of it, "A Prescription for Love." I also gave James a haircut tonight which he was in much need of. It was one of the best I have every given him if I do say so myself. 

We had a little storm pass through this evening with wind and some rain. Totally unexpected.
