Accessing God's Power Through Covenants
Elder Dale G. Renlund
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The covenant path leads to the ordinances of the temple, such as the temple endowment. The endowment is God's gift of sacred covenants that connect us more fully to Him. In the endowment, we covenant, first, to strive to keep the commandments of God; second, to repent with a broken heart and contrite spirit; third, to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do this by exercising faith in HIm, making covenants with God as we receive the ordinances of salvation and exaltation, keeping those covenants throughout our lives, and striving to live the two great commandments to love God and neighbor. We covenant, fourth, to keep the law of chastity, and fifth, to dedicate ourselves and everything the Lord blesses us with to build up His Church.
James and Rowan left early this morning going through Payson and Roosevelt Lake to get to Globe. It took them right around three hours but they made it there by 8:00.
James has someone coming to lay tile for the Peeler's and also Trina is coming to pick up Rowan. She was a little late but she did make it. She wanted Rowan home today because her mother has arranged for family pictures for their entire family. Trina's sister is in town. She lives in Oklahoma.
It was a long and tiring day for James. He tried to come home through Salt River because the app didn't say it was closed, just that there were delays. They wouldn't let him or the other people behind him through so he had to go all the way back to Globe and come the Payson way. It was about 1:30 when he got home. He stopped in Show Low and picked up some lunch. A couple of Hook & Ladder subs. He ate his on the way home. I ate half of mine for lunch and half for dinner.
After taking a nap James went outside and did some work. One of the things he did was put up our Lambson Lane sign. It looks great!
He also planted the flowers that have been on our front porch since last Friday. Two hydrangea plants and some petunias.
I did not feel well today and as a result I did not accomplish very much. I did work on my puzzle, walk, and work on my blog, and pay our tithing. Oh yes, I also watched several episodes of Sue Thomas. I am almost through season 3 which is the last season.
I listened to "Unshaken Saints" and hear are some notes that I took:
"Dwelling in righteousness can't be skin deep. It has to go all the way down."
"If you are the shadow, you are not the light, but the shadow can lead others to the light."
"The chief priest were filled with indignation. The Apostles were filled with the Holy Ghost."
