Jesus Christ Atonement through
Hebrews 5:9
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Book of Mormon
Ether 8:18-26
*What warning did Moroni issue to the people of our day, and what are the consequences of heeding or ignoring that warning?
The Prophet Joseph Smith declared: "The devil has no power over us only as we permit him; the moment we revolt at anything which comes from God, the devil takes power."
Doctrine Covenants Favorite Scriptures
DC 27:2
For, behold, I say unto you, that it mattereth not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink when ye partake of the sacrament, if it so be that ye do it with an eye single to my glory - remembering unto the Father my body which was laid down for you, and my blood which was shed for the remission of your sins.

Repentance Is Always Positive
Stephen W. Owens
"We can try to change our behavior on our own, but only the Savior can remove our stains and lift our burdens, enabling us to pursue the path of obedience with confidence and strength."
The Eternal Everyday
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"Alma asked a question in his day that is pertinent today:'If ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?'
Alma continued, 'Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time,...that ye have been sufficiently humble?'
Every time I read about Alma the younger relinquishing his role as head of state to preach the word of God, I am impressed. Alma clearly had a profound testimony of God the Father and Jesus Christ and felt accountable to Them completely and without reservation. He had the correct priorities and humility to give up status and position because he realized that serving the Lord was more important."
James made an appointment with Dr. Moffat this morning and talked me into going to town with him. While he was at the doctors, I did some shopping at Walmart. I had lunch at the McDonald's inside of Walmart after I was done shopping. James had to take 3 prescripttions to CVS and while we were waiting for them to be filled he had lunch at Arby's.
It was 50 degrees and sunny today. We are praying for snow. On the trip home we read from "A Touch of Scarlett."
When we got home we too naps. I then turned on a Christmas movie while I worked on my blog. These are the movies I watched today: "Christmas in Vermont," "A Prince for Christmas," "Christmas in Mississippi," and "Maggie's Christmas Miracle."
The last one was the best. I am going to save it to watch when Sheri and Kim come up.
For F.H.E. we listened to Elder Cook's conference address, "The Eternal Everyday."
I am still feeling pretty lousy and so is James.
James bringing me Pero and turning on the fan.
We are watching a movie together.
This is almost a nightly occurrence for him.
