Jesus Christ, Davidic Descent of
Revelations 22:16
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Book of Mormon #1
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 be 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 receiveth 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 trampled under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come?"(34-35). Are we among those who trample? Do we listen and obey the words of our Savior and His servants? Do we share them? Many are sent forth to spread the words of Christ. 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 lose our ability to influence. We are called to the work. Therefore, we have to follow the Spirit, heed promptings, and be humble servants to do it.

The Joy of Unselfish Service

"We live in a selfish world where people constantly ask 'What's in it for me?' instead of asking, 'Whom can I help today?' or 'How can I better serve the Lord in my calling?' or 'Am I giving my all to the Lord?'"
Today I read in the Book of Mormon Student Manual that Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 re two of the most important chapters in all of scripture because the whole history of Israel is foreshadowed in them. Some of the major calamities of the human race are explained in the theology revealed in these two chapters. President Kimball referred often to Leviticus 26.
I got to read Elder Wilhelm's email today. It sounds like he is having a great time at the MTC in South Africa.
James had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Moffat this morning at 11:15. We left for town at 10:30. I dropped James off and then went on down the road to Walmart. While I was shopping James called and asked me to come and pick him up and take him to Sonoran Quest to get bloodwork done. I parked my cart with my stuff still in it and headed out the door. He was in a hurry because the place closes for lunch at noon. I got him there about five minutes before 12 and then went back to my shopping at Walmart where I saw several people from our ward, the Crane's, Sister Vaught, Sister Wood, and the Wallace's.
When we got home James went back to his work at the Howard's and I told him to stay off of any ladders! I worked around the house until it was time for my Relief Society presidency meeting at 7 p.m. We met first with the Elder's Quorum presidency and I gave Brother Hunsaker Tyler and Kilee's wedding cards. I am sad I am going to miss Kilee's sealing on Friday morning. We have to be in the valley.
When I came home from my meeting James was watching an old western movie starring Marlon Brando. He said it was called, "Appaloosa." I went in to the bedroom and finished my Hallmark Christmas movie before going to bed.
From my book, "The Clockmaker's Daughter:"

After Grindel, her dog, the light of Mrs Mack's affection fell on Martin, her son. Martin, who was 10 years to my 7 when I came to live with them at their place on Little White Lion St. Martin was large for his age not merely tall, but imposing, his presence being of the sort whereby he seemed to occupy more space than was his due. He was a boy of little intelligence and even less kindness."
I wish I could be this descriptive and clever in my writing.
Love this face and smile!
Five years ago these boys were our waiters at The Young
Women's in Excellence Dinner. Two are married, one is a dad and those same two are returned missionaries.
I thought nitric oxide was laughing gas.
Congratulations Kendal & Rusty!
