King Benjamin teaches how to retain a remission of sins.

Read verses 9-11 and look for what we must do to retain a remission of our sins.
* How does remembering God's power, goodness, and love influence our willingness to obey Him?
Read Mosiah 4:12. What are the blessings in this verse that come to those who do what is taught in verses 5-11?
Mosiah 4:13-16 contains King Benjamin's description of people who retain a remission of their sins.
* What are the attitudes and qualities that King Benjamin described in those who seek to retain a remission of their sins?
Read verses 16-23.
* According to King Benjamin, how are we all beggars?
* How can this understanding help us be more compassionate to others?
Read verse 27.

Read verses 28-30.
* What is the relationship between our thoughts, words, and deeds?
* What can we do to watch ourselves?
* In what ways can we help each other?
President Ezra Taft Benson:
" Think clean thoughts. Those who think clean thoughts do not do dirty deeds. You are not only responsible before God for your acts but also for controlling your thoughts. So live that you would not blush with shame if your thoughts and acts could be flashed on a screen in your church. The old adage is still true that you sow thoughts and you reap acts, you sow acts and you reap habits, you sow habits and you reap a character, and your character determines your eternal destiny. 'As a man thinketh, so is he.'"
DC 55:1-6
William W. Phelps is called and chosen to be baptized, to be ordained an elder, and to preach the gospel; He is also to write books for children in Church schools; He is to travel to Missouri, which will be the area of his labors.
General Conference
Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives
President Russell M. Nelson
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is filled with His power, which is available to every earnestly seeking daughter or son
of God."
I also studied the gospel doctrine lesson, "Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts." Most of the spiritual gifts we can obtain are listed in DC 46.
I spent a relaxing day at home with James until later this afternoon when we had to go into town to pick up his blood pressure medicine. We also stopped at Burger King for a Whopper Jr., and the bank to deposit some checks. James says he can't believe that the car didn't head for Walmart on its own. Ha Ha.
This looks like a nice place to visit
but I don't think I would want to live there.
Back at home James worked on a bid and I blogged for Friday and Saturday. We watched a new Hallmark movie, "Moonlight in Vermont", starring Lacey Chaubert. I missed watching "Dancing with the Stars" because James doesn't like it. I will get up early tomorrow to watch. Here are some of the dancers:
Heather Morris from Glee
with Allen who is filling in for Maks
who got injured a couple of weeks ago.
Heather is really good!
Rashad Jennings and Emma. Finally
Emma has a decent partner. Rashad plays for the NFL.
This was most memorable year week. He told about a time he gave up a scholarship to come home and help take care of his dad
who had to have his leg amputated. He is one of my favorites,
in fact, I kind of hope they win!
Julianne Hough told him he missed his calling, that he should have
been a dancer.
Nancy Kerrigan and Artem. Nancy is a great dancer.
She had six miscarriages in 8 years but was
determined to have more children so she did invitro.
She now has the three children she always dreamed
she would have.
Mr. T and Kym
Mr. T is not much of a dancer but he seems like a really
great guy. He is 64 and 20 years ago he had cancer.
He said: "Lord give me the strength to do your will."
His attitude is inspirational.
Dave Ross formerly of the Chicago Cubs.
He is not a dancer but for some reason the
judges really like him.
He is with Lindsey Arnold, one of the
Mormon girls from Utah.
Enough of DWTS. Here is someone you can really
admire. President Monson and his wife Frances.
A friend made this chart for her kids to fill-in
for Easter week. What a great idea.
Grand Falls in Arizona, but I am not
exactly sure where.
