Jesus Christ Atonement through
Philipians 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Book of Mormon
Ether 7:1-27
How can I better listen to and obey the words of the prophets?
By reading conference talks and taking them seriously, trying to do the things I am asked to do.
Doctrine Covenants Favorite Scriptures
DC 20:37
And again, by way of commandment to the church concerning the manner of baptism - All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized, and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits, and witness before the church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into his church.
General Conference
Be Ye Therefore Perfect-Eventually
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
"We may not be able to demonstrate yet the 10,000-talent perfection the Father and the Son have achieved, but it is not too much for Them to ask us to be a little more godlike in little things, that we speak and act, love and forgive, repent and improve at least the 100-pence level of perfection, which it is clearly within our ability to do so."
Bishop Miller, who is our home teacher, came over to give James a blessing. James is very sick. After the blessing James asked if he could go to the church here in Vernon tomorrow to watch the conference via satellite. He said he would sit away from people and leave right after. The bishop said that would be fine. I am still planning on going to the Show Low stake center.
I went to town this afternoon to pick up my prescriptions and a few groceries. While I was in Walmart I saw our friend from Chandler, Ruth Gale. We had a nice visit and I invited her to the conference tomorrow but she declined.
I picked up James's request list: fresh pineapple, orange juice, and vegetable beef soup.
It was a nice day today, 52 degrees and no wind! When I got back to Vernon I stopped at Rosa Westbrook's to pick up two dozen tamales I ordered from her. Rosa makes the best tamales! The masa is not grainy and there is plenty of tasty meat. I bought two dozen this time instead of one. I will be living off these tamales for awhile.
I put groceries away, blogged, read to James, and watched Christmas movies. "Christmas Mail," "Naughty or Nice," "Christmas on the Bayou," and "Christmas Encore."
I feel so bad for James. He is so miserable. If he isn't better by Monday he is going to the doctor.
