Jesus Christ, Son of man

D&C 130:14-15

I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following:

Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eighty-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter.

Book of Mormon

3 Nephi 9:1-22

"Come Follow Me"

Jeremiah 36 The scriptures have power to turn me away from evil.

"Lifted Up upon the Cross"

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

To be a follower of Jesus Christ, one must sometimes carry a burden and go where sacrifice is required and suffering is inevitable.

I just can't shake this cough! It is so annoying.

James went to town to get the oil changed in his truck. Walmart just reopened their auto center and there was an hour wait. He asked how much it would cost and was quoted $64.95. He called Jiffy Lube and they quoted him $74.95 for his truck. He figured that ten dollars difference was okay. When he got to Jiffy Lube they told him that was only an estimate and that it would cost $113.95. He told them to go ahead and do it but this would be the last time he would come here and he was going to tell his friends about his experience. He also wrote them an unfavorable review. 

This time he brought me home a drink and a chicken Slinger. 

I cancelled my appointment for tomorrow with Barnet-Delaney-Perkins. Rescheduled for the 28th.

I listened to the next lecture in my Hillsdale course, "Illegal Immigration and the Loss of National Soverignty." I also blogged three and a half days. Still not getting my steps. My left foot is actually swelling and it is difficult to walk. It is itchy and painful. 

John Hilton III was on Inklings with Emily today. We are discussing Elder Holland's talk, "Lifted Up upon the Cross." Brother Hilton wrote a book, "Considering the Cross." Elder Holland actually quoted something from John's book in his talk. I started listening to the book before watching Inklings. I found it interesting that Constantine actually received a heavenly message that he was to use the cross as the symbol for his army. 

James and I were having scriptures this evening when I got a call from Pierce. I had James answer it. He wants to come over to issue me a release. I had about 15 minutes to get myself presentable. 

Pierce issued my release and thanked me for my service. He then gave me a hug. I told him I was sick and didn't want him to get sick but that didn't stop him. He told us about getting married on Saturday and having a brief honeymoon in Greer at his bride's request. I am glad he is so happy.

James and I watched the next episode of "The Daily Alaskan" before going to bed.
