Jesus Christ, Judge
Hebrews 10:30
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
2 Nephi 10
Jacob explains that the Jews will crucify their God - They will be scattered until they begin to believe in Him - America will be a land of liberty where no king will rule - Reconcile yourselves to God and gain salvation through His grace. About 559-545 B.C.
"Honoring His Name"
Lisa L. Harkness
"Our covenant remembering quiets worldly worries, turns self-doubt into courage, and gives hope in times of trial."
I read an article today in the Ensign by Elder Randall K. Bennett, "He Can Turn Weakness to Strength." I highly recommend it. In the article are suggestions President Nelson gave on drawing the power of Jesus Christ into our lives:
1. "Begin by learning about Him....The more we know about the Savior's ministry and mission - the more we understand His doctrine and what He did for us - the more we know that He can provide the power that we need for our lives."
2. "Choose to have faith in Him and follow Him.....Faith that motivates us to action gives us more access to His power."
3. "Reach up to Him in faith....When the Savior knows you truly want to reach up to Him - when He can feel that the greatest desire of your heart is to draw His power into you life - you will be led by the Holy Ghost to know exactly what you should do."
As is my custom I took some tea to James around 7 am to wake him up. Today it was peppermint.
We still had not heard if Mario accepted James's new contract price. James called him and he said he had not even seen the new price. Hopefully he will look at it and get back to us soon.
I spent the morning working on the Wilhelm's Valentines which includes a flipbook of The House of Israel.
First I made the Rice Krispy treats. I let them cool and then James cut them for me. In the meantime I was in the bedroom running off and cutting the House of Israel book and coloring their LOVE Valentine card.
I wrote names on the Valentine bags to put the Rice Krispy treats in and James put them in the bag and then we put them in a Valentine bucket along with the Valentine message. All this and Valentine's day is over. I told James to tell Sandra that the House of Israel flipbook goes along with what we are studying in the Book of Mormon. He took the stuff, along with a load to the dump, and the rest of Darrel's family's Valentine and headed for Vernon.
Adam and Chris cooked pancakes, sausage and bacon for breakfast. I think everyone ate except maybe Kaitlyn who is still sleeping. I was happy to see that Joshua came!
I bought three books today to make a total of 15 for the week, which is my goal. I repriced an inventory sheet and that was it today for the book business.
I walked around the bedroom since my house is full of people and read to James from "Aunt Dimity Goes West." I also read "Live Up to Our Privileges" and "Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon."
I worked on my "Come Follow Me" studies and at 4:00 took a shower and got ready to go to town. We are having dinner this evening at Licano's with Harold and Vickie.
We arrived before Harold and Vickie and got a table and devoured most of the chips. We had a nice visit with them although we are all a little hard of hearing and with the background noise in the restaurant we all had to repeat ourselves quite often.
Vickie told about an accident their son Brian had. He was working on the second story of a house carrying a piece of plywood when the wind caught it and Brian fell to the ground. He landed on his feet and broke his left foot. He had to have a plate put in his foot. Someone he works with had a similar accident and broke his foot and it got infected and had to be amputated. Brian is being very careful that doesn't happen to him.
Back at home the kids were playing games at the dining room table and eating pizza. Joshua asked to borrow my tablet.
I walked in the bedroom and worked on 2 Nephi 9. I was too tired to finish 2 Nephi 10 and will finish in the morning.
Found these on the family tree app
on my phone
While we were at Licano's Vickie got this
photo of Dennis's family at Jaci's (his exwife)
celebrating Kyle's daughter Masyn's birthday.
Masyn is the one with the blue top next to Jaci.
