Our Earthly Stewardship
Bishop Gerald Causse
Presiding Bishop
As disciples of Christ, we have a solemn duty to work tirelessly for peace and harmony among all nations of the earth. We must do our very best to protect and bring solace and relief to the weak, the needy, and all those who suffer or who are oppressed. Above all, the greatest gift of love we can offer our fellow men is to share with them the joy of the gospel and invite them to come unto their Savior through sacred covenants and ordinances.

D&C 18:11
Ask the Father in my name in faith, believing that you shall receive, and you shall have the Holy Ghost, which manifesteth all things which are expedient unto the children of men.
John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
I woke up at 4:41 and said, "I will sleep until five." The next time I woke up it was 6:09. I need to get up when I wake up!
I think I found the conference address that I want to base my talk on Easter Sunday. It is from the October 2008 General Conference and is called, "The Way" by Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge. It is a powerful testimony of Jesus' words and a powerful testimony of Jesus as the only Way to return to the Father. It brought tears to my eyes and a chill down my back. I listened to it more than once.
I also began studying Sister Michelle D. Craig's talk from this last conference, "Wholeheartedness", as it is one of the talks our Relief Society discussion on March 26th will be based on.
James took a nap in his sauna blanket today and when he got out he was soaked! He took a shower and felt so much better than before!
Since I didn't see my friend Sue Hubble at church on Sunday I texted her today to remind her of our trip to the temple tomorrow. She texted me back with the following message:
Oh my, I sure am glad you texted me. I ended up coming to New Mexico to visit sisters and I brough the two granddaughters. We also went to Truth or Consequences to see my husbands siblings. So no, I won't make it.
I talked to Catherine yesterday at Walmart and told her I would be going unless she heard from me, and Ruth called me today to make sure I was going. I'm going even though I still have a cough. I'm going to take lots of cough drops with me and exercise some faith. I remember President Monson saying, "When you are on the Lord's errand you will receive the Lord's blessing."
I texted my friend Kathy Crane who has Covid and asked her if she needed anything in town. I thought James was going in to get screws and I was either going to go with him or ask him to do a little shopping for the Crane's. Kathy asked for corn tortillas and two dozen eggs from the MacArthur's. I called Chelsea and arranged for the eggs later on this afternoon when she gets home and I asked James if he was going to town. He said no. I said what about the screws. He said Rowan knew where the old ones were and he texted Rowan and got the information and he now has screws. I told him my dilemma and that I was going to go to Dollar General first to see if they have any corn tortillas. He said he needed to stay home and work because he is going to town this evening to take Virgil Cooper to get his temple recommend signed by a member of the stake presidency.
I stopped at the post office and mailed Kaitlyn Judd's wedding card and then on to Dollar General. They had absolutely no tortillas but I did find a drink, some ice cream and a centerpiece for James's bedroom desk. Don't judge.
They had a big package of corn tortillas at Safeway, no smaller ones so that's what I got. I also found my favorite bodywash that they don't have at Walmart anymore, Softsoap Honeysuckle and Orange Burst. I love that it smells just like fresh orange blossoms!
Of course I had to make a Sonic run, two slingers, small mozarella sticks, and a medium diet Dr. Pepper.
I get back home around 5 and James doesn't have to leave to pick up Virgil until 6. James goes over to Chelsea's and gets the eggs, and deliver eggs, corn tortillas, and empty food containers to the Crane's. Kathy asks how much she owes us and James says there is no charge. Thanks Honey for making this delivery.
While James was gone with Virgil I called him and told him he should invite Virgil out to dinner with him. He said that Virgil wanted to go shopping at Walmart after his interview so that was probably what they would do.
James said Virgil bought pomegranate juice because the doctor told him it was good for his heart and his arteries. James drinks it every morning. I tried it and I don't see how he does it, it was nasty tasting to me. I don't understand because pomegranates are so good. Anyway James buys the cheapest brand he can get. He happened to be running low and bought a bottle. He said Virgil bought the expensive Pom brand, the one in the "sexy" bottle. Hmm, I never thought of a bottle being "sexy", but okay, I know which one you mean.
I finished my book, "Timeless Waltz" and start a new one, "Secret of the Sonnets" by Samantha Hastings.
James and I listen and walk this evening. We are almost finished with volume 4 of Fire & Steel. The story is about the crash of the stock market in 1929.
