And, as I said before, after the tribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;

"Are You Still Willing?"

Elder Kevin W. Pearson

Of the Seventy

Our willingness to follow Jesus Christ is directly proportionate to the amount of time we commit to be in holy places.

I had a bad dream while sleeping on the recliner in the family room. I dreamed a big lynx like cat go into our house and was in the room with me. After I was awake for a few seconds I realized that it was a bad dream.

I tried to stay on my schedule today but it just wasn't going to happen. I am still sick with flu-like, cold symptoms. A cough and achiness in my bones. 

James was home today but he was very busy. He went in to town and brought me back two tacos from Aliberto's, one beef and one chicken. He had a doctor's appointment with his gastro-intestinal doctor and came away feeling frustrated. He saw the PA and she wouldn't make any decisions without talking to the doctor. 

I started a Hillsdale College lecture series today. The name of the course is "The Decline of Citizenship in America." Today I listened to the introduction. 

On the way to the hospital Friday Ruthie Wilhelm called James selling apples. James bought half a box from her and I got a text from her mom Sandra today asking if I could Venmo the money for the apples we ordered. Half a box of apples is $28.

The Crane's brought over some food for us this evening. Stew, homemade chicken noodle soup, rolls, cinnamon bread, and a chocolate pie. Thank you Crane's for thinking of us.

Tonight was most memorable year for the contestants on "Dancing with the Stars." Selma Blair's most memorable year was 2018 when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She told her partner Pasha she had something to tell him. She said she had been to the doctors and had some MRI's done and the doctor told her she could not, or should not continue in the DWTS competition. They did their last dance together and it was very touching. I guess Selma is one of the most popular people among the staff and the other contestants. She is positive, loving, and very kind. It was beautiful to see how much she is loved. 

Selma is a single mom. Her son was

there with her. She has to stay healthy

for him.
