All Must Take Upon Them the Name Given of the Father
Elder Paul B. Pieper
"One meaning of the word take is to partake of or receive into one's body, such as when we take a drink. By taking upon ourselves the name of Christ, we commit to take His teachings, His characteristics, and ultimately His love deep into our beings so that they become part of who we are. Thus the importance of President Russell M. Nelson's invitation to the young adults to 'prayerfully and vigorously seek to understand what each of the Savior's various titles and names means personally for them' and to feast on the words of Christ in the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon."
After gospel study I made breakfast for James and then we listened to the Book Profits help session. Lots of exciting things coming in the new year. If we sign up for the new year we get a $400 discount plus access to all the new materials for six months and during the beta testing. We prayed and thought about it and decided we have to give this business a chance for a least one more year and since we will be saving money and getting access to more software, we both thought we should sign up...the offer only stands today. I did it.
I took a trip in to town this afternoon. I took a blanket and my first stop was the hospital to visit Monte. He has diverticulitis. They were going to do surgery on him but they were able to drain the abscess instead. He still looked pretty miserable. Harold, Vickie, Tasha, and Kaitlynn were all in the room too.
After leaving the hospital I went across the street to Walmart to buy the ingredients for homemade vegetable soup. I am using the recipe they used to use at the Mesa temple. James and I both loved their soup.
I mailed Ben's birthday card today and stopped by the post office and picked up the mail. The "grabber" I got for James came, put the device to help him put on his socks.
When I got home our neighbors, the Crane's came over. They brought homemade chicken noodle soup and biscuits, and left over fajita meat and fixin's from the ward party. What nice neighbors we have!
This evening we worked on our book business. I inventoried 10 books. One of the books was one I had underlined with a pencil in. James erased all of the underling so we could send it in to sell.
One of my mains jobs while James is down is keeping the fire going. I guess I fell a little behind because James actually carried in some wood. I gave him a stern scolding!
