"A Framework for Personal Revelation"
Elder Dale G. Renlund
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The scriptures form the first element of this framework for personal revelation. Feasting on the words of Christ, as found in the scriptures, stimulates personal revelation. Elder Robert D. Hales said: "When we want to speak to God, we pray. And when we want Him to speak to us, we search the scriptures."
Up at 5:11. Prayer journal. I then help James pack his lunch as he is waiting for Greg to come so they can go to Globe. I make him a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich. He also takes a couple of apples. Before James leaves I decide to send my mail with him. I was going to go to the post office today but there is so much snow on the roads this morning I decided against it. I sent Evan's birthday card, Quintana's title, and Trenda's baby gift card and card. Trenda has a baby shower tomorrow but I won't make it so I'm sending her gift in the mail.
I watched this week's episode of "The Great British Bakeoff."
This is pastry week. The Signature challenge was to make a dozen vol-au-vent pastries. Shabira's were the best. Maxy made hers square and they were very misshapen. She used to be my girl but she like to put her on spin on things and often that doesn't work out.
The Technical challenge was to make 8 spring rolls. Sandro won this challenge.
The Show Stopper challenge was to make a 3-D pie of their favorite childhood nursery rhyme. Again, Shabira won. Maxy has not had a good week and she was sent home. I was sad but felt like she deserved it. Those who are left, one girl, Shabira, three guys, Abdul, Janusz, and Sandro. I hope Shabira wins.
James called me when he arrived in Globe. He was e so excited about a talk he heard on CWIC Media by Brother Ahmad S. Corbitt, second counselor in the Young Men's General Presidency. This talk was given at a meeting of LDS Chaplains. The talk is called "Activism vs. Discipleship." I told James I was aware of the talk because I had seen it on the Church News app. I listened to the talk and I loved it so I made a written copy so I could study it. I sent out a message to our kids and their spouses and ask them to please read the talk. I think that Kacey and Jared are the only ones who did.
Today is Jared's 46th birthday. I hope he knows what a blessing he and Kacey and their family's are to our family. Jeanne Wallen's Facebook post today showed James Hayden visiting in Arizona. I texted her and asked what James's plans were. She said he is planning on moving to Philadelphia with his girlfriend as she has a job waiting for her there. I shared this news with James. Jeanne and I had a nice visit. She is a very likable, kind person. She told me she loves Jared and wishes all the very best for him.
I took advantage of the fact that James was gone today by sweeping, mopping, and polishing the kitchen and dining room floor. I also began cleaning out the upstairs filing cabinet I am planning on moving into our bedroom. James said he would move it for me tomorrow.
I watched "Teaching with Power" and drew the graphs Brother Wilcox made regarding three of the stories found in this week's "Come Follow Me" lesson about Daniel and his three friends. Brother Wilcox titled the stories: The King's Meat, The Fiery Furnace, and Daniel in the Lions Den. On the right side of each graph there were two question boxes. The first one was: What did they do? The second was How can we be like them? There were four graphs: The Pressure, The Reaction, The Threat, and The Results. Using the scriptures, each box for each story under each heading was filled in.
This is why I love to watch these videos. It gives me a visual summary of what were the important parts of the lesson and how I can apply them in my life. I recorded all of this in my Gospel Study notebook.
Around 3 p.m. I went into the kitchen and began preparing dinner. I turned the oven to 350 and prepared the last three potatoes that I have by washing them, scrubbing them, and coating them with butter and then wrapping them in aluminum foil. I stuck them in the oven and then prepared a meatloaf and stuck it in the oven. Dinner should be ready when James gets home. All I have to do is heat up some green beans. He got home after dark and we enjoyed a nice meal together. We also read a couple of chapters from our book as we walked.
I began studying lecture two of "Seeking Jesus" with John Hilton III.
I watched a new Christmas movie while walking, "The Magical Christmas Village" starring Allison Sweeney, Luke McFarlane, and Marlo Thomas. Marlo Thomas's mouth was a big distraction. She has had too much botox and her mouth reminded me of Howdy Doodie's. I did like the movie.
We watched this week's episode of "Alaska Daily" but decided we don't want to watch it anymore because they take the Lord's name in vain. I liked the characters and story lines but can't tolerate profanity.
