1 Nephi 19:8
And behold he cometh, according to the words of the angel, in six hundred years from the time my father left Jerusalem.
Book of Mormon
Alma 2:1-18
*Why did Amlici want to be king? What did he do when the majority of the people voted against him? (See Alma 2:7-10).
- Amlici's attempt to deprive the people of their religious rights and privileges was defeated by the voice of the people. Consider the result if righteous Nephites in Amlici's day had abstained from voting. In democratic nations of our day, every Latter-day Saint has a sacred obligation to vote and to influence his or her society for good by upholding honest, wise, good, and honorable leaders and laws. (See DC 98:10).
Old Testament
2 Samuel 9-10
9 David seeks to honor the house of Saul - He finds Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, to whom he restores all the land of Saul.
10 David's messengers are abused by the Ammonites - Israel defeats the Ammonites and Syrians.

Take the Holy Spirit as Your Guide
Elder Larry Y. Wilson
"I believe, with the Apostle Paul, that just as God 'raised up Christ from the dead so shall He also quicken our mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in us.' To quicken means to make alive. Just as Christ brings our bodies back to life after physical death through the power of His Resurrection, so can He also quicken us, or make us alive, from spiritual death. In the book of Moses, we read of Adam undergoing this kind of quickening: 'Adam was baptized, and the Spirit of God descended upon him, and thus he was born of the Spirit, and became quickened in the inner man.'"
I see bunnies running for shelter under the shed as a hawk swoops down over the yard. A jacket rabbit just outside the fence stops, looks at the bunnies, looks up at the hawk as it flies away and takes off, loping in the opposite direction. Bunnies 1 - Hawk 0. This is better than the National Geographic channel!
Rescuing Wayward Children, 59: What parents want our children to discover for themselves is that everything has spiritual underpinnings; (see DC 29:34). Therefore, all physical hungers can be traced to a corresponding spiritual need. If they can grasp and embrace that concept, they will experience one of the greatest discoveries of life: To be hungry and thirsty is ultimately designed to lead them to Christ, the Bread of Life and the Living Water.
Worth the Wrestle, p. 17: Questions are key to resolving conflict, to finding out what is really going on, to understanding the hearts and minds of others and engaging them in spirited discussion, to seeking answers through the Spirit, and to simply making fundamentally good decisions.

I left for town around 10:30 this morning. I stopped and got gas and washed my car and then met my friends Pam and Jenny at the hospital for lunch. Sunday is Pam's birthday so I came bearing gifts and I bought her lunch for her. Jenny had given her two gnomes for her courtyard. I gave her a book, a small fountain for their office, a small wall plaque, a glass with a top and built-in straw. The glass was pink and shaped like a bird, and two patriotic dishtowels.
It was a great lunch hour. These two are pretty funny. Some of their co-workers had dropped by some ice cream, a cinnamon roll, and a rose made out of a napkin for Pam's lunch.
Jenny's daughter is in the valley going to a doctor about her brain tumor. She is 15 years old. Her sister and dad went with her because Jenny couldn't get off work. She is taking off work next week when her husband has surgery. Pam says he thinks he's going to die. Pam tried to set up a meeting with the missionaries for Ed and Jenny but Ed said he would like it to be after his surgery.
James was set to come home this afternoon and then he had a terrible dizzy spell and nausea. He went to Kim's to lie down and she was worried he was dehydrated or had heat stroke. When I told Stacy she said it could be his heart. Paul and Brian gave him a blessing and soon he felt like taking a shower and coming home. James thinks maybe he had a kidney stone. Kim was still distraught about him driving so I told her I would text her when he got home. He got here around 10 p.m. Adam and his friends got here around midnight.

Healing the sick.
There are so many sick in our world today.
