Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship, If thou be the Son of God
Helaman 16:18
Some things they may have guessed right, among so many; but behold, we know that all these great and marvelous works cannot come to pass, of which has been spoken.
Book of Mormon
1 Nephi 20:1-22
*How have I been refined by the Lord and what have I gained from the experience?
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Matthew 3:7-12; Luke 3:7-18; BD: Pharisees, Sadducees, Repentance
*What does it mean to bring forth "fruits meet for repentance"? How were the Pharisees and Sadducees ill prepared for repentance? How were they a hinderance to the coming forth of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
- "People are sometimes symbolized by trees that produce either good or bad fruit. "Meet for" means necessary. So are we producing good fruit and are we repenting and bringing the necessary offerings to be forgiven? We demonstrate true repentance to the Lord as we change our desires and actions to follow His teachings. Personal repentance is part of taking up the cross daily. It makes us holy. Repentance is a rescuing doctrine that helps us turn away from evil and turn towards God. May we be found worthy of the blessings of repentance by discarding the bad fruit thru a reckoning of the natural self." (Sue_heugly on Instagram)
General Conference
Becoming Exemplary Latter-day Saints
"During this conference we have strengthened our resolve to execute the essential effort to honor the Lord Jesus Christ every time we refer to His Church. I promise you that our rigorous attention to use the correct name of the Savior's Church and its members will lead to increased faith and access to greater spiritual power for members of His Church."
I felt much better today and enjoyed the book webinar today featuring Kris and Kathy. I would like to be able to afford to get Kathy as a mentor.
For lunch I made green beans with fingerling red potatoes, bacon, onion, and garlic. We both loved them except next time I will not use bacon grease to cook them in, only butter.
Stacy had surgery today to remove a 4 cm cyst from her uterus. Hopefully this will be the last time. I texted Paul and he said she came home, ate some Cream of Wheat and then fell asleep.
James was working on our book business and he got discouraged and depressed and walked away. He took a nap and afterwards felt much better.
I was going over my credit card statement because the payment is due tomorrow. There was a recurring monthly charge from Apple for $42.00. We called and found that I had accidentally ordered monthly exercise plan from Pacer. The woman on the phone showed me where to look on my phone and how to cancel. I am so glad we called!
Kerri texted me this evening and said her mom had something for us. When we arrived at their house, Catherine was happy to see us. She had made cinnamon rolls for James because he recently had surgery.
We sure do love Catherine and Kerri!
After leaving the Halcomb's we went into town to get gas, James's shakes, and my diet Dr Pepper. We also filled the car with gas because we are leaving for the valley early in the morning.
It was a big month for Charlie. She met family in Arkansas at Kacey's mom's 70th birthday party and in Arizona, including her great-grandmother, Lois.
This is what Charlie thought of today's walk.
