Jesus Christ, Lamb of God
Revelation 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Alma 27 with James; BM Study Guide; "Teaching with Power"
April General Conference
"Ensuring a Righteous Judgment"
Elder James R. Rasband
"As President Boyd K. Packer once taught: "The thought that rescued Alma . . . is this: Restoring what you cannot restore, healing the wound you cannot heal, fixing that which you broke and you cannot fix is the very purpose of the atonement of Christ." The joyous truth on which Alma's 'caught hold' was not just that he himself could be made clean but also that those whom he had harmed could be healed and made whole."
I listened to "Teaching with Power" this morning and Brother Wilcox talked about and made a list of "Attitudes of True Conversion":
1.) Willingness to give all that God asks - Alma 22:15
2.) Give away all my sins - Alma 22:18
3.) Converted unto the Lord - Alma 19:16, 31; 22:23; 23:6, 8, 13; 24:6
4.) Distinguished from the world in righteous ways - Alma 23:16; 27:27
5.) Repentance and restitution and filling the void with good - Alma 24:11, 15, 18; 27:8
6.) Bury sins or weapons of rebellion deep in the earth - Alma 23:13; 27:27
7.) Gratitude in the face of trial - Alma 24:8-10, 19
Anthony was here this morning a couple of hours to help James get started on the fence. He left around 9:00 when it started getting a little warm.
The Razr engine was delivered to our front door this afternoon. Instead of rebuilding the old one, they just sent us a new one. James tried to schedule with Erik to come and put it in. He is gone on vacation with his family and won't be able to come up until the 25th. James doesn't want to wait that long. He said maybe Anthony could help him put it in. Anthony fixed the Ranger and has quite a bit of experience on car repair.
James went to town to get hay and more fence materials this afternoon. I discovered that the last books I sent in, all 16 of them are in stranded inventory. I didn't know how to get them out so I contacted seller support. Hopefully I will hear from them tomorrow.
James has been doing some heavy lifting and is in a great deal of pain. I think it is because of the bags of cement that he has been lugging around for the fence.
Today was not our best day ever.
