Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship
John 1:49
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 3:6-25
This chapter, coupled with Joseph of Egypt's Patriarchal blessing, are great confirmations to the truth behind The Book of Mormon and the gospel we believe. What are my favorite witnesses I found?
New Testament "Come Follow Me"
Luke 4:16-32 Jesus Christ is the prophesied Messiah
"The Law of the Fast: Elder L. Tom Perry, April 1986
Ensign
"A Personal Relationship with Our Father through Prayer"
Elder Juan A. Uceda
General Conference
Come, Listen to a Prophet's Voice
Bishop Dean M. Davies
"These are some essential building blocks of our individual faith and testimony:
1. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
2. The Book of Mormon is the word of God.
3. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the kingdom of God on the earth.
4. Joseph Smith is a prophet, and we have living prophets on the earth today.
James: "The elk are in the front window again, ea, the front yard. There are 8 of them."
James went to the church this morning to help the Scotts clean. They are an elderly couple with health issues and he heard they were cleaning alone. The other couple assigned is the Woods'. They are out of town. James is their ministering brother and he told them he would cover for them. He was the Scott's home teacher a year or so ago and he has a great love for them. He said Millie could barely get around because of the affects of diabetes. They were so appreciative that he was there. Because the Scotts and Woods did such a good job last week there wasn't a whole lot to do.
I stayed home because I was feeling behind and a little stressed with what I needed to accomplish today. I spent the entire morning working on two blog posts. I watched a new Hallmark Valentine movie while blogging, "Valentine in the Vineyard" starring Rachel Leigh Cook and Brendan Penny. Here is a little blurb about the movie: "A double wedding at Sorrentos Winery in the gorgeous wine country of Napa Valley." I would add: "Love conquers all."
The movie starts out playing the song, "One Fine Day". I remember this song from my high school days. I loved it by the Chiffons and played it alot on my record player.
Nate proposes to Frankie by flying in his drone with a string hanging from the bottom and a ring box tied to the bottom of the string. They are on a cliff overlooking a lake and it is the perfect setting. James proposed to me as we sat by Fools Hollow Lake in his car on a full moon night. It was romantic too. I do wish they would change the name of the lake. I don't think I was a "fool" for accepting.
This afternoon I made sugar cookies for Valentines Day. This is my favorite cookie recipe. I love sugar cookies. This recipe makes about 32 cookies. It calls for almond extract in both the cookies and the frosting. I just made round cookies with pink frosting. Basic but delicious.
I wish I could make cookies that look like this.
I made the frosting but I did not get the frosting put on the cookies. I will have to get up early and do that tomorrow.
Interesting quilt design
Can't get enough of this cutie.
Another cutie addiction.
Sheri gave me this about four years ago.
Yet another cutie addiction.
Sometimes Cher has the best posts.
Remembering:
How small she was when we visited
Whitehouse in October.
