"Come Into The Fold Of God"

Elder Randy D. Funk

Of the Seventy

Consider some causes of unhappiness; misery comes from sin, sadness and loneliness from the death of a loved one, and fear from the uncertainty of what happens when we die. But when we enter the fold of God and keep our covenants with Him, we feel the peace of knowing and trusting that Christ will redeem us from our sins, that the separation of our body and spirit will end more quickly, and that we will live eternally with God in a most glorious manner.

I had to delay my eating this morning because my blood sugar was a little high. I'm sure glad I bought that Keto bread even if it does taste like cardboard.

Greg Anderson called this afternoon while James was taking a nap. He called twice, the first time I ignored it but the second time I answered. I told him James was asleep and he began talking to me about Brother Christensen's book, "The Power of Everyday Missionaries." He talked about doing another missionary meeting and having me involved because I am so soft spoken and no one could be offended by me. He said Brother Thompson told him that some people were a little offended by the last meeting. After we were finished with our conversation I gave the phone to James who was no awake from his nap. 

Greg and James went somewhere to look at a job. They were gone over two hours. James said it was way out by Golden Horse Ranch where my mom used to live. That's over 50 miles away.

I happened to find a DWTS show on Disney Plus called "DWTS 20 Top Memorable Dances." Derek Hough, Brandon, Kim Johnson, and Cheryl Burke were the commentators. One of the top 20 dances was Whitney Carson's and Alberto Robeiro's freestyle the year they won. In the dance he does the Carlton which was made famous when he was on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and played the part of Carlton. It's the dance that Jared used to do and it made me laugh. I'm going to save it for Jared to watch the next time he is here.

I Vacuumed the living-family room area and dusted today. I put sheets on the bed downstairs and washed the sheets from upstairs. 

I talked Kim into coming up next week and I told her I would come down to get her if she needed me to. She said Brian wanted to bring her up but it probably wouldn't be until next Wednesday. That's the day I have an eye doctor appointment so I'm glad Brian can bring her. 

Stacy called and told me about how excited she is about her note buying business and to tell me she has made $3,000. She thinks James and I should do it because that way her dad wouldn't have to do anything physical. Maybe she doesn't realize that's the kind of work he loves to do. He hates doing paperwork and talking business on the phone. I told her if she wanted to come up and talk to him about it that I would help him with the business but I would not do it by myself. She said Paul eventually wants to do it with her. 

Stacy and Paul got a new car, a Nissan Sentra. She says she loves it but Paul is worried about having a car payment. Stacy also thinks we can get 3-4 million dollars for the cabin and our land. I just laughed and said, there is no way.

James was supposed to have a meeting tonight but Churck cancelled. One of his dogs jumped up on him and broke one of his blood vessels and it took him forever to get it to stop bleeding.  

I listened to "Follow Him" today and the guest speaker was Jennifer Brinkerhoff Platt who did her undergraduate work at Arizona State University. I loved her attitude regarding the Savior. She has a new book, "Living Your Covenants Everyday." She read a quote by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland regarding each of us having more experiences with Jesus. She quoted Ezra Taft Benson: We must be shaken and awaken from a spiritual snooze.
