Jesus Christ's Atonement
Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 28:25-40
*What do these verses teach us about the Three Nephites and the work that they are doing on the earth before Christ's Second Coming?
We are told, "And wo unto him that will not hearken unto the words of Jesus, and also to them whom He hath chosen and sent among them; for whoso receives not the words of Jesus and the words of those whom He hath sent receive not Him; and therefore He will not receive the at the last day; For do ye suppose that ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God, who hath been tramped under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come?" (v. 34-35)
*Are we among those who trample? Do we listen and obey the words of our Savior and His servants? Do we share the them? Many are sent forth to share the words of Christ.
Sister Shelly Applegate, from our ward, left today for her mission. Her desire is to let people know how much the Lord loves the because she has felt the Lord's love for her and it has made all the difference in her life. The Lord has an army of Saints, missionaries, leaders, families, and individuals who are called to deliver the good news of our Savior. We are to go forth and proclaim the message of the gospel. We are to bear testimony. The Lord tells us that many are called but few are chosen (DC 121:33-40). Why are we not chosen? When we let the world get in the way; when we do not maintain our righteousness; or when we become prideful, then we lost our ability to influence. We are called to the work. Therefore, we have to follow the Spirit, heed promptings, and be humble servants.

Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?

The Priesthood and the Savior's Atoning Power
Elder Dale G. Renlund
" The atoning power of Jesus Christ is essential because none of us can return to our heavenly home without help. In mortality we invariably make mistakes and violate God's laws. We become stained by sin and cannot be allowed back to live in God's presence. We need the Savior's atoning power so that we can be reconciled to Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ broke the bands of physical death , allowing resurrection for all. He offers forgiveness of sins, conditioned on obedience to the laws and ordinances of His gospel. Through Him, exaltation is offered. The opportunity to benefit from the Savior's atoning power is creations most important payload."
This is James's morning schedule. He gets up and studies his lesson, reads from his book, and then we have scriptures, prayer and breakfast. He asks me to read him a chapter from our book, and then he checks his traps and goes out to work on the patio.
This morning until of going out to work on the patio he left in his truck with Chuck to go help the Carroll's move their stuff out of the house that they have been living in. They didn't get home until 4 p.m. and then they both were at the school board meeting at 5.
It seems apparent that going to the school board is not the answer to getting anything done about our taxes. It all goes back to the county. Dr. Barrados the superintendent was the only one who did anything to help. She is going to call Doyle Shamley the supervisor of district 3 and arrange a meeting. She also called the county to speak to them but they have not returned her call yet.
While James was gone I made a batch of cookies, not a good idea when you are trying to lose weight.
