The Quorum: A Place of Belonging

Carl B. Cook

"Every priesthood holder, regardless of his situation, benefits from a strong quorum. My young brothers who hold the Aaronic Priesthood, the Lord would have you establish a strong quorum, a place of belonging for each and every young man, a place where the Lord's Spirit is present, a place where all quorum members are welcome and valued. As the Lord gathers His children, they need a place to belong and grow."

I love this quote by President M. Russell Ballard:

"There is no spiritual power in living by convenience. The power comes as we keep our covenants."

We sold three books today and made a profit of over $30. I wish we could do this everyday.

My eyes were bad today as I was working on the computer. I really do need to have cataract surgery soon. Possibly June. 

I also got a call from my dentists office about scheduling an appointment to start my crown. It feels like when you get to a certain age most of your appointments are with the doctor or dentist. I feel like I'm wearing out and falling apart. Does this happen to everyone?

I stepped up my steps today to over 15,000.

I like the happy face better

Happy 49th Birthday Monte

No more Whataburgers for James, at least not on a regular basis.  Maybe he could have one once a year on his birthday.  He has to watch his cholesterol intake.
He visited Dr. Wellman today and got some pain meds for his shoulder. 
I went to the doctor's today too.  I had to get refills for my blood pressure medicine.  Dr. Wilson is on a six week leave of absence.  I saw Nicole, the physician's assistant.  When I ask if Dr. Wilson was on vacation she said no he is out for medical reasons and has been since January.  I wonder what's wrong.
My goals for this week, besides working in the yard, were to finish cleaning out our bedroom, clean the pantry and take down the metal shelves to take to the cabin, and clean out the frig.  So far I've worked on the bedroom and bathroom.  I scrubbed down the shower, cleaned the floor and toilet, counters and mirror.
This evening we watched the American Idol finale.  Philip Philips, Stacy's favorite, won.  I was hot and cold with him but loved the song "Home" he sang at the finale.  Because of James's appointment with the cardiologist on Friday we won't be leaving for the cabin until Friday afternoon.  Joshua insists he is going with us and now Evan and Max want to come too.
