"Come, Follow Me" - The Lord's Counterstrategy

and Proactive Plan

Mark L. Pace

"With the 'Come, Follow Me' resource, the Lord is preparing us 'for the perilous times that we now face'. He is helping us establish that 'sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall' (Helaman 5:12) - the foundation of a testimony anchored firmly in the bedrock of our conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ.

May our daily efforts in studying the scriptures fortify us and prove us worthy of these promised blessings. I so pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

I have a nearly 360 view when I walk around the house and look out my different windows. Beginning with the dining room, here is what I saw: Springerville - sun and scattered clouds, kitchen window - Lakeside more clouds, Front door windows - Show Low - dark and overcast, Snowflake, Holbrook - my bedroom window - darker and more overcast than Show Low. We will see how this affects us here in Vernon. Pierce said when he moved here that someone told him, "if you don't like the weather in Vernon, wait 5 minutes and it will change."

I picked up my friend Jean a little before 11. We drove to Show Low and had lunch at Native, Jean's favorite place to eat. She loves their chicken, walnut, apple salad. I tried the lettuce wrap salad. It was okay but I wouldn't order it again.

Mystery was our waitress. This is at least the third time she has waited on us. Yes, there is a story to her name, but I can't remember all of the details so I won't share it here. It had something to do with a "mystery" at the time of her birth.

Tom came before we were finished eating. He had just had some dental work done so he didn't order anything. He ended up paying the bill although I told him this was for Jean's birthday. I did have another gift for her, a basket with my favorite lotion and body wash, some Cadburry mini eggs, and other miscellaneous items like I gave Sandra Wilhelm. I gave Jean the basket as we were leaving and she was most grateful. Jean has a doctor's appointment at 3 and so she and Tom were going to hang out at Walmart until it was time for her appointment. The doctor is concerned about the function of her liver and how it is not appearing on the scans they have done.

I wonder if Tom and Jean were able to get into Walmart. They closed it down for awhile because of a fire in the backroom.

On the way home I stopped at the Cat store and picked up the fuel pump James ordered.

James hadn't fixed himself any lunch while I was gone so when I got home I fixed him a tuna melt sandwich with some tomato soup.

James is having fits trying to get the fuel pump in. He says he doesn't have the right kind of tool. He finally "made" something that would work but the space to work in is so small he was getting really frustrated. He finally got it in and then the Cat wouldn't start. More frustration. He ordered the part for the other Cat and he put it in and it doesn't work either. He finally called the mechanic for some advice.

James also worked on the railings off the balcony of Sheri and Ian's room. I think he enjoys doing this and it gave him some respite from his vehicle problems.

The rest of the strawberry shortcake disappeared today. I wonder where it went. I worked on my Life Story a little, and went on Family Search and ran off the four baptisms I found in Ordiances Ready. I studied "Come Follow Me" and the Restoration and walked. It was a good day. We did end up getting some rain.
