Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
DC 10:57
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I came unto mine own, and mine own received me not.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 19:1-20:11
*How do you combat the four evils Isaiah denounces -- pride, errant leaders, wickedness, and neglecting the poor and needy?
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Matthew 6:14-24
"The Lord Jesus Christ Teaches Us To Pray" Juan A. Uceda 10/16
General Conference
Wilt Thou Be Made Whole
Elder Matthew L. Carpenter
President Boyd K. Packer stated: "Our spirits are damaged when we make mistakes and commit sins. But unlike the case of our mortal bodies, when the repentance process is complete, no scars remain because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The promised is: 'Behold, he who had repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more' DC 58:42"
Choose You This Day
Elder Dale G. Renlund
"We need to choose whom we will serve. The magnitude of our eternal happiness depends on choosing the living God and joining Him in His work. As we strive to 'do the next bit' on our own, we practice using our agency correctly. As two former Relief Society General Presidents said, we should not be 'babies that need petting and correction all the time. No, God wants us to become mature adults and govern ourselves."
Kathy Crane and I visited with the Robertson's this morning. Kathy was kind enough to offer to drive her four-wheel drive Suburban because the roads are still wet and muddy.
Sister Robertson has been in the hospital. She had a bad case of pancreaitis and is at home recovering. Her husband Joel has been with her but he needs to go back to his job in Houston so Kathy and I are representing the Relief Society to see what we can do to help.
We had a nice visit and then I asked Marie what we could do to help. Would she like someone to come and stay with her? No. Would she like us to bring in food? Maybe a couple of times a week. Kathy offered to bring some chicken noodle soup and some Cafe Rio chicken and pork she already had made up because she had company this week. That sounded good and since she was bringing it tonight Joel would still be there to enjoy it.
Marie will be staying alone after Joel leaves except for her six dogs that keep her company. She is 75 years old.
As we were leaving Joel showed us a picture of the actor Ed Asner. I guess he is a friend. He wrote Marie a nice letter when her son passed away. Joel also showed us the letter.
I came home and made some ground beef tacos and a salad for lunch. After lunch it was rest time and a Hallmark movie. I walked and paid bills this afternoon and made a no-bake cheesecake.
I made, or I should say warmed up, some Sister Schuster rolls for Kathy to take over to the Robertson's this evening. When Kathy came to pick them up she had Cafe Rio burros for us and part of an apple pie. Thank you kind neighbor.
James and I watched an episode of "Victoria" this evening. I did not like this one. It featured the cholera epidemic and one of the main characters Nancy Skerret Francatelli died. It was too sad. This is why I like Hallmark movies, none of the main characters ever die and there is always a happy ending.
I inventoried several books this evening. The best was the Book of Mormon Reader. If it sells we will make $35.
James got us new car insurance today. National General was raising our policy by $50 a month because of a claim James had when he ran into a fence. We now have Liberty Mutual for both our house and my car.
Happy Birthday Adam and Joe!
All dressed up for our 50th
