Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship

Matthew 4:6

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Book of Mormon

1 Nephi 17:17-30

What are some worldly pleasures that might be hard to give up, only trusting that the Lord has something better in store?

New Testament "Come Follow Me"

John 1:29-42; JST John 1:29-34

"In the postmortal spirit world, Heavenly Father continues to shed forth the Holy ghost and send missionaries to those who need the gospel. He answers prayers and helps those who lack them receive vicarious saving ordinances."

James got a call from Tom Howard this morning. He has a leaky faucet he would like James to fix. James went over and looked at it and went to town and bought a new faucet. His back was bothering him when he tried to install it so he left it there for the Howard's son-in-law Jimmy to install.

I made waffles for breakfast. Kacey, Jared, and I all had one. James was gone. I offered to make him one when he returned but he said he didn't want one. He did have the last piece of sausage.

I invited Harold, Vickie, Dennis, and Denise out to meet the baby and visit with Kacey and Jared. Denise couldn't come because she had to work and Harold was gone to a football clinic in the valley.

Charlie let both Vickie and Dennis hold her. She is such a sweet baby.

Vickie agreed with me that Charlie looks a lot like Stacy did as a baby. As we were "catching up" Vickie told me some news about Harold. She said he has prostrate cancer and didn't want to tell people. He is doing radiation treatment and doing quite well. I am sad for him and even more sad that he didn't think he could tell me.

Soon it was time for everyone to leave and of course we had to take a picture out on the front porch.
