Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
Alma 34:5
And we have beheld that the great question which is in your minds is whether the word be in the Son of God, or whether there shall be no Christ.

New Testament "Come Follow Me"
John 13:1-33
General Conference
Answers to Prayer
Elder Brooke P. Hales
"The Father is aware of us, knows our needs, and will help us perfectly. Sometimes that help is given in the very moment or at least soon after we ask for divine help. Sometimes our most earnest and worthy desires are not answered in the way we hope, but we find that God has greater blessings in store. And sometimes our righteous desires are not granted in this life."
In Elder Christofferson's talk he asks the question, "What does abiding in God's love mean"? The answer he gives is: "It means to submit to His will." He says that divine love can transform a willing soul. Are we content with where we are or do we see our divine potential? His arm of mercy is extended towards us as we repent and strive to keep His commandments.
I got a late start this morning. I could not go to sleep last night. I left my bed because I couldn't get comfortable and then I had the same problem on the couch. I went back and forth several times before taking some Nyquil and finally settling down on the couch.
James headed out this morning on the Razr to take some photos of the verbina on the hillside coming in to Vernon. It is all over our yard and other areas of Vernon but it looks especially beautiful on this hillside. One of our friends who has lived in Vernon for years says she has never seen any thing like this and she knows it is because all of the moisture we have received. I firmly believe that moisture was a result of several stakes in the area fasting and praying for it.
So pretty!
James did several errands today. He went to the dump and picked up books at the post office, hauled two rats away that he caught, and then drove out on the Razr to see Anthony. I, of course, stayed at home doing my "thing." One of my things was to listen to a video by Wendy Nelson as she told of the experience she had in receiving an answer from the Lord when she sought solitude in fasting and prayer regarding whether she should marry Russell M. Nelson. She said on the second day at 3:45 she received her answer in three different ways. She did not share what those ways were but of course we know what the answer was. She says she knows that the Lord brought them together.
Food for thought
This is where the Talbot's will be serving.
