Be True To God And His Work
Elder Quentin L. Cook
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Bridle is an interesting word. When we ride a horse, we use the bridle to guide it. A good synonym might be to direct, control, or restrain. The Old Testament tells us we shouted for joy when we learned we would have physical bodies. The body is not evil-it is beautiful and essential-but some passions, if not used properly and appropriately bridled, can separate us from God and His work and adversely impact our testimony.
Focus On The Temple
President Russell M, Nelson
President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
We are also planning to build multiple temples in selected large metropolitan areas where travel time to an existing temple is a major challenge. Therefore, I am pleased to announce four additional locations near Mexico City where new temples will be built in Cuernavaca, Pachuca, Toluca, and Tula.
100 Favorite Verses - All Things Were Created For Our Benefit
D&C 59:18-20
18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart;
19 Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul
20 And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto the end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion.
A pack, four, of coyotes crossed our field this morning. James also sees a herd of elk so he goes upstairs for a better view.
After his wildlife experience James announced that he was going to town to get horse feed and to have his bloodwork done. I was in the shower and asked him to give me five minutes so we could have family prayer. After prayer we said goodbye and James left.
We were supposed to go to the temple this morning but I cancelled and rescheduled for Friday.
James has a meeting in the valley tomorrow and is trying to figure out how he is going to get there. I have an appointment to have my eye checked after my Yag procedure tomorrow afternoon. I started feeling like I should do something so I called Barnett-Delaney-Perkins and rescheduled for March 13th. Now James can use the car. He was relieved.
I spent quite a bit of time studying the Book of Mormon today. We are in the Isaiah chapters and I am using Brother Kerry Muhlstein's "Learning to Love Isaiah" commentary along with Brother David Ridges "Isaiah Made Easier." In our "Come Follow Me" discussion the other night at the Goodman's I said I thought that the woman with the alabastar box who had washed the Savior's feet was Mary Magdalene but I wasn't sure and that I would do some research to find out.
I Googled and it seems there is a large consensus that believe it was Mary Magdalene. None of them are our Church references. I went to the New Testament Student Manual and looked in the index and found this on page 156:
"Mary Magdalene, the woman to whom the resurrected Savior first appeared (see John 20:10-18), was one of the women who accompanied Jesus. Luke recorded that the Savior had cast seven devils out of her (Luke 8:2). Mary Magdalene should not be confused with the sinful woman mentioned in Luke 7:36-50 or with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:38-42; John 11:1). Mary Magdalene held an honored place in the kingdom - implied in John 20:10-18 and other passages."
I was wrong and will make sure that I tell the Goodman's.
We ate dinner around 4:30 each having a baked potato. We like to eat a little early because we fast for 13 hours before eating again. Kacey read a book recording this study:
In 2016, The Journal of the American Medical Association released an observational study that looked at more than 2,000 women between the ages of 27 and 70 who had undergone conventional breast cancer treatment, After analyzing this large group of women for four years, researchers determined that when women fasted 13 hours or more a day, they had a 64 percent less chance of recurrence of breast cancer. This is largely because fasting created a significant decrease in hemoglobin A1c, an indicator of blood glucose levels, and C-reactive protein, an indicator of inflammation, Very few drugs can offer that kind of result. This is how miraculous the body can be when fasting.
Dr. Patel has still not called James so he called him. He is out of the office this week but his secretary said she would contact him and let him know that James wanted to talk to him.
I use all of these books in my scripture study.
