Jesus Christ, Creator
2 Nephi 9:5
Yea, I know that ye know that in the body he shall show himself unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came; for it is expedient that it should be among them; for it behooveth the great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become subject unto him.
Book of Mormon
Alma 42:26-43:14
*How does Almas advice to Corianton differ from his advice to his other sons Helaman and Shiblon?
- He talks about repentance and humility to Corianton.
Old Testament
Job 2-4
2 Satan obtains permission from the Lord to afflict Job physically - Job is smitten with boils - Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar come to comfort him.
3 Job curses the circumstances of his birth - He asks, Why died I not from the womb?
4 Eliphaz reproves Job, asking such questions as, Are the righteous cut off? Shall a man be more pure than his maker?
General Conference
Prepare to Meet God
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"With respect to righteousness, this life is the time for all of us to prepare to meet God. The Book of Mormon provides multiple examples of the tragic consequences when individuals or groups fail to keep the commandments of God. During my lifetime, worldly issues and concerns have moved from one extreme to another - from frivolous and trivial pursuits to serious immorality. The family proclamation to the world warns 'that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring will one day stand accountable before God."
James made potato pancakes for breakfast with the left over mashed potatoes from the Peeler's dinner. They were delicious!
I finished "A Reason for Faith" and now I am trying to finish "Finding Your Path in Lehi's Dream." Today I read chapters 13 and 14. I thought this was interesting. Possible taunts from the Great and Spacious Building:
1. There is no God.
2. There is a God, but he doesn't care what we do. (Alex said this to James).
3. God is Love, so he doesn't punish people.
4. We don't believe in organized religion.
5. You think you are better than us.
6. Why are you trying to convert people?
Brother Howard had to make another trip to the valley to pick up their flooring because it wasn't ready last week when they were down there. For this reason James worked here at home instead of the Howard's. First he went out and worked on his rabbit hutch. I am not opposed to him catching some rabbits and breeding them with domestic rabbits. I just want to make sure he knows that I am opposed to eating the rabbits. He said he knew and that we would not eat them.
Today is Harry Potter's birthday. Here is how Addy celebrated:
After lunch I finished watching "Switched for Christmas" starring Candace Cameron Bure. This evening James and I finished watching , "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, at the Altar." Norman and Rita finally get married and for a surprise ending Oliver and Shane get engaged. I like this series because it is corny and makes me laugh and it is also serious and makes me cry. To me, that's the criteria for a good movie.
James went to town today to get supplies for the Howard job and to buy two new trees with the money he got from winning the Chunky Monkey contest. He bought a Globe willow and a white ash tree. He said Home Depot didn't have any regular willow trees and that we would have to go up to Christopher's Garden. I love going there.
At 7:30 this evening James was still outside planting them.
I did some family history this evening. I discovered that one of my relatives, Edward Rutledge, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. His temple work has not been done. The reason for not being able to do his work is listed as no standardized death date. I am totally confused by this because his death date is clearly listed as 23 January 1800. I sent a message to Family Search for help.
Sometimes I feel so blessed that I don't feel worthy.
