Jesus Christ, Crucifixion
Luke 24:20
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
Book of Mormon
Helaman 5:28-52
*What do you learn about repentance in these verses?
- Repentance is available to everyone who has humility to turn to God and turn away from their sins. As we repent, the clouds of darkness in our lives will disappear.
Old Testament
Isaiah 4-6
General Conference
Take the Holy Spirit as Your Guide
Elder Larry Y. Wilson
" Following the feet of the people ahead of you on the path is not enough. We cannot just do and think what others are doing and thinking; we must live a guided life. We must each have out own hand on the iron rod. Then we may go to the Lord with humble confidence, knowing that He shall lead us by the hand, and give us answer to our prayers."
FHE
With One Accord
"Every one of our paths is different, yet we walk them together. Our path is not about what we have done or where we have been; it is about where we are going and what we are becoming, in unity. When we counsel together guided by the Holy Ghost, we can see where we are and where we need to be. The Holy Ghost gives us a vision that our natural eyes cannot see, because revelation is scattered among us, and when we put that revelation together, we can see more."
Anthony called this morning and said Pinky, his cat, was having an episode and he needed to go into town for some medicine but he didn't think he had enough gas. James met him at the Y with a gallon and a half of gas and a $5.00 bill.
James and I went into town this morning. He had to get something and I got prescriptions at Walmart then we mailed Kacey's birthday card and a new bill to National Turf.
We also got Kathy some ice cream and James took it over to her along with the ice cream left over from Sunday. I noticed when I went into Walmart today that the summer watermelons have been replaced with pumpkins. I guess Fall is really in the air.
We finished "The Secret Keeper" on the way home from town and ended up really enjoying it. I have one more chapter to read from "Time and Again," and will finish it tomorrow before book club.
I found a couple of family notebooks from 1999 in my office. One was Darrel's and one was Jared's but I made a notebook for every member of our family up to that time. These are the things the notebook contained: 1) a copy of The Articles of Faith, 2) a copy of the Family Proclamation, 3) a monthly calendar, 4) This week's FHE agenda, 5) a pedigree chart and an article about Overcoming the World written by F. Burton Howard, and a parent's message.
We read Elder Burton's article tonight for FHE. It was still very timely and talked a lot about the Book of Mormon.
While we are still experiencing drought conditions here in Arizona, the Carolina's are being flooded. Many people are trapped in their homes because of the flood waters. We will pray for their safety.
Our bishop took up mountain biking. He got 11th out of 68 in
his first race.

Sweet Charlie:
Somebody asked me how the stones got to
Stonehenge. This book answers that question.
