How is the promise of the Passover extended to modern Israel?
"Obedience to the Word of Wisdom keeps one free...'And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them' (D&C 89:21). This reference to the first Passover reminds us that, n faith, ancient Israel was obedient to the commandment to take blood and 'strike it on the two side posgs and on the upper door post of the houses.' ...So, in faith, modern Israel is commanded to obey the Word of Wisdom. It becomes our token of a covenant with the Lord - a spiritual separator of covenant Israel from the rest of the world" (Nelson, Power within Us, 80).
There was a Relief Society activity at the church this morning. James was on the priesthood holders on duty. Te-Bo was there too. Amy Bowen taught a class on gardening in the Vernon area.
I did not go to the activity but stayed home to clean and get ready for company. I went downstairs to the basement and then upstairs to make sure everything was in order. I found more Jesus figures, I now have 56 out of 99. Addy said some are hard. Indeed!
I dusted, swept and mopped using vinegar and water and was pleased with the results. I worked inside while James worked outside on the scaffolding.
I walked 10,000 steps and watched several episodes of season 18 of Murdoch Mystery.
I knew Darrel was coming home to Mesa this weekend and I had to check to make sure he made it safely. He did.
