Old Testament
Leviticus 6-7
6 The people must first make restitution for sin, then offer a trespass offering, and thereby gain forgiveness through atonement made by the priests.
7 Laws governing various sacrifices are listed - The children of Israel are forbidden to eat fat or blood - They worship by sacrifice - Through sacrifice they gain forgiveness, make vows, consecrate their property, render thanks, and are reconciled to God.

And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord.
General Conference
The Priesthood and the Savior's Atoning Power
Elder Dale G. Renlund
" I have come to realize that the purpose of organizing a stake, or using the priesthood of God in any way, is to assist Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in Their work - to provide the opportunity for redemption and exaltation to each of God's children. Like the rocket whose purpose is to deliver a payload, the priesthood delivers the gospel of Jesus Christ, enabling all to make covenants and receive the associated ordinances, 'The atoning blood of Christ.' can thereby be applied in our lives as we experience the sanctifying influence of the Holy Ghost and receive the blessings God promises."
Happy Valentines Day!
I got a hand-written letter and a beautiful necklace from James this morning. It was sitting out on the table when I got up at 5 a.m. How sweet!
The red is brighter than it looks here.
I had 5000 steps by 6 a.m., 10,000 steps by 8:30, and 15,000 by noon.
There are clouds in the sky this morning and rain is predicted for later in the day!
I made a new recipe for dinner, it's called Italian soup. I think James will like it because it has beef and beans. I turned it on low and went upstairs to make my Valentines for my Primary class. I can't believe I didn't take a picture. I put a cute face on a white bag, wrote Happy Valentine's Day and filled them with a small toy, a Rice Krispy treat, and a favorite candy.
I began making deliveries around 5. First to Colter, Andyn, and then Jace who wasn't home so I gave his bag to Mary who is going to have a baby within the next week or so.
Liana wasn't home either. She went with her dad to deliver a meal to the Allen's. When we went to Gracie's we also dropped off her birthday gift, a cute teddy bear, and a heart-shaped bank. It started to rain as we left Gracie's by the Y.
When we got home we ate our Italian stew. James added a little salt and announced that he loved it. Before going to bed I mixed up two batches of sugar cookies to take to the valley tomorrow.
James got 20,000 steps today and I got 18,500.
A tragedy today in Florida. A mentally ill shooter killed 17 young people at a junior high. A 14 year old LDS girl was one of the tragedies. Another LDS girl was hospitalized. She was shot several times but is expected to live. It is a scary world we live in. What can we do to protect our schools?
Joshua and Paul saw a movie and
then had a meal.
"Black Panther" was the name of the movie.
Congratulations!
