The Doctrine of Belonging
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Thus, the doctrine of belonging comes down to this - each one of us can affirm: Jesus Christ died for me; He thought me worthy of HIs blood. He loves me and can make all the difference in my life. As I repent, His grace will transform me. I am one with Him in the gospel covenant; I belong in His Church and kingdom; and I belong in HIs cause to bring redemption to all of God's children.

3 Nephi 22:13
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
James drove me in to town this morning for my eye doctor appointment. My appointment was at 8:50 and we arrived at 8:35. We passed Sister Vaught in her blue truck just before we turned in to Barnett-Delaney-Perkins.
I checked in and within five minutes I was called back. The girl who called me back examined my eyes, which took about five minutes and then she left and said Dr. Palmer would be right in. I waited at least 15 minutes and wondered how he could be so far behind in his appointments this early in the morning. He finally came in, he spent about five minutes or less examining me and we were done. I told him I had an appointment at Chandler Eyecare for new glasses. He told me I didn't need to check out but could just exit, so I did.
James picked me up and I was getting into the car I noticed Sean Hunsaker coming out of the building and said hello to him. I asked him if he was getting his eyes checked and he said he had gotten a piece of metal in his eye and the doctor had removed it and he was doing fine. I told him I was glad and we said goodbye.
James had washed the car while I was in my appointment but he said they didn't have vacuums at Circle K. I told him they did so we headed that way. James bought some vacuum time and we went to work. Circle K has the weakest vacuums ever and we did very little good with our vacuuming. My little portable vacuum at home is better.
Next we went across the street to Walmart. James picked up my prescription while I did a little shopping. I happen to see Theresa Hine from our ward and Jacob Robles with his kids back at the water machine. After doing my little bit of shopping I went to the front of the store to look for James and to check out. I saw James across the front of the store talking to Kerri and Catherine Halcomb. I walked towards them but when I got there James was gone. I spoke to Kerri and Catherine a few minutes and then went to look for James. I couldn't find him so I ended up calling him and told him I was ready to check out. Funny thing, I saw Sean Hunsaker again, this time in the prescription line at Walmart.
James and I checked out and I ordered Sonic while we were checking out. We headed right there when we were finished. It took about 15 minutes from the time I called until we drove into their lot. When we got there they had not even started our order. I was a little frustrated but tried not to complain too much.
On the way to town this morning we read from the Book of Mormon and then read the intro to the Come Follow Me lesson and all of the scripture chapters associated with the lesson. On the way home we listened to our Fire & Steel series, volume 4, The Proud Shall Stumble.
James carries in the groceries and put the perishables in the refrigerator while I went in and changed in to my comfy clothes.
During our rest time we watched the next episode of "The Way Home." Only two more episodes to go. I wonder if we will ever find out what happened to Jacob.
I also watched a new Hallmark Movie & Mystery movie, "Unexpected Grace." It was really good. I also did two blog posts.
It was a beautiful sunny day with the high in the mid 50's.
This evening James called Pierce to see if we were still on for "Come Follow Me." Pierce said 12 guests just arrived at his house so I guess we won't be meeting tonight.
Later Pierce called James back and asked if he and I could speak in sacrament meeting on Easter Sunday. James answered for me and said we would be glad to. The only direction Pierce gave was that our talks need to be about 12 minutes long and they should be Christ-centered. Now I have a lesson to prepare, a cake to bake for a ward party, and a talk to prepare. It's nice to be busy doing worthwhile things.
James spent part of the day trying to put the Razr back together. He said some screws were missing and he may have to go into town tomorrow to get some more. If he buys them at Show Low Motorsport they cost $5 a screw.
Brian started a life improvement podcast. So far he has done two episodes. I listened to both of them. They were good. He quoted Dr. Kim D'Armo about loving yourself. He said: Don't "should" on yourself.

My 500 piece egg puzzle
I started a Book of Mormon blog. Mainly it is questions and answers, principles and truths I feel are important. Sunday will be a review day where I evaluate what I have learned for the week.
