Preparing for the Lord's Return

Elder D. Todd Christofferson

"First and crucial for the Lord's return, is the presence on the earth of a people prepared to receive Him at His coming. He has stated that those who remain upon the earth in that day, 'from the least to the greatest, ... shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing this new song, saying: The Lord hath brought again Zion .. The Lord hath gathered all things in one. The Lord hath brought down Zion from above. The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.'"

I listened to the book webinar featuring Jim, Herman, and Ricardo, all good guys with some good advice.

James had a doctor's appointment with Dr. DeLange who is going to do a procedure on him to determine if he has a hernia at the top of his stomach that is letting acid from his stomach through to his throat and causing his laringytis problems. He will also do a biopsy for cancer.

While James was gone Alex and I got out the new deck of Five Crowns and played a game. The final score was Alex 70, Gramma 76.

The appraisers came today to appraise our house for the loan we are getting. James stayed at home with them while Alex and I went to Walmart to shop for dinner. I enjoyed talking with Alex in the car. I asked him if he went to the paintball activity for Joshua's birthday. He said no. I said, I understand Rowan won. He asked me if I had heard the whole story and I said no. He said at the end of the night one of the workers called up the "last man standing" to recognize him as the winner. On his way up to the front Rowan shot the guy and the announcer said,"Well I guess we have a new winner."

He also told me that Joe and Dallin are going to Bulgaria with their band. Mario was there a while back and met a grammy winning singer and they are going to record some songs with her.

He also told me that he wants to be a writer. I told him I thought grandpa and I should found out what it takes to be appraisers and maybe look in to doing that instead of construction. He really liked that idea and said if we did that he would like to help us. He is paring cars in Scottsdale for rich people. He says it's a good job but he would like something a little more challenging. He plans on going to ASU to finish his schooling.

He said Shayna started school this week at ASU. She is getting a business degree and wants to be an interior designer.

We also talked about politics and agreed that we need someone as president that can unite our country rather than divide it. I told him the story about Dolly and James Madison and said we needed someone like them in the White House. He agreed.

We had a great dinner. I made a salad, squash and asparagus, and mashed potatoes. James grilled some ribeye steaks I got that were on sale , and we also had warm croissants. It was a delicious meal. I gave Alex the choice of pork chops or steak and he chose steak.

Afterwards all three of us played a game of Five Crowns and I won!

One of the writers for Meridian magazine died of cancer this week. Her name was Darla Isaakson. Elder Holland actually quoted her in his last conference address. She was a good writer and had this to say about death: "Death is not a tragedy, but a graduation into a far more glorious existence of learning, progress, and service."

I only got 6,000 steps today. Such a pity.

Mormon 2:1-16

*What is the difference between sorrowing and sorrowing unto repentance? How can our sorrow help turn our hearts to the Lord?

- President Ezra Taft Benson explained the nature of godly sorrow so that we might understand the sorrow that leads to cleansing repentance: "Godly sorrow is a gift of the Spirit. It is a deep realization that our actions have offended our Father and our God. It is the sharp and keen awareness that our behavior caused the Savior, He who knew no sin, even the greatest of all, to endure agony and suffering. Our sins caused Him to bleed at every pore. This very real mental and spiritual anguish is what the scriptures refer to as having a 'broken heart and a contrite spirit' (DC 20:37). Such a spirit is the absolute prerequisite for true repentance."

Becoming a Shepherd

Sister Bonnie Cordon

"Last April, President Nelson extended an invitation, like the Savior's to Peter, to feed our Father's sheep in a holier way through ministering. To effectively accept this invitation, we must develop a shepherd's heart and understand the needs of the Lord's sheep. How do we become the shepherd's the Lord needs us to become? As with all questions, we can look to our Savior, Jesus Christ - the Good Shepherd. The Savior's sheep were known and numbered, they were watched over, and they were gathered into the fold of God."

James and I are home alone after the morning rush for work, school, and the gym. James hangs around until around ten o'clock when he leaves for his appointment with his back surgeon, Dr. Crandall. Now I'm "home alone." I walk, study, pay the Amazon credit card, work on my last Wednesday blog post, email Ben, and have banana cream pie for breakfast. I end up throwing most of it away at Trina's earlier request.

Lola and Trina get home before James gets back. While Trina is upstairs taking a shower Lola and I pay Llamanoes. Lola has her first dance concert tonight and we won't be here. I ask her if she could dance for me and she said, "No, not without my teacher."

Trina and Lola left for a lunch date with one of Trina's friends before James gets back.

I re-pack the car to get all of my purchases in while James emails Ben. I emailed him earlier.

We stopped at Fry's on the way out of town for a small turkey, a spiral cut ham, and some cranberry celebration. We also stopped at Jersey Mike's for our favorite subs.

James drives until Globe where I take over the wheel and drive until just before Show Low.

After unloading the car and putting most everything away, I sat down to watch the "Dancing with the Stars" finale. I happened to be looking on Instagram and saw who won before I was finished watching. I was surprised to see it was Bobby Bones. He is the worst dancer of all of the four finalists but he has a lot of fans and is a great entertainer. Sharna Burgess is his partner and I'm glad for her because she has never won.
