Amos 9:1
I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
Helaman 13:21-39
*Why do you feel it is important to listen to the prophets of God?
-Elder M. Russell Ballard has said: "If we bring the teachings of the prophets and apostles into our homes our relationships with family members will improve and so will our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. As we draw close to the Lord we will be able to feel the Spirit and He will teach us and prompt us to know what to do to follow the counsel given that our testimonies might be strengthened and that we might have peace and joy" (Ensign, May 2001, 67).
DC 8:2-3
2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground.
General Conference
Abiding in God and Repairing the Breach
Sister Neill F. Marriott
We need to continually deepen our knowledge of and obedience to Heavenly Father. Our relationship with Him is eternal. We are His beloved children, and that will not change. How are we going to whole heartedly accept His invitation to draw near to Him and thus enjoy the blessings He longs to give us in this life and in the world to come. Do we trust Him enough to abide in Him and walk with Him?
I read an article in the New Era this morning by Elder David A Bednar called, "A Christlike Character." Here are some notes from that article:
"There could have been no Atonement without the character of Christ." - Neal A. Maxwell
"Character is demonstrated by looking and reaching outward when the natural and instinctive response is to be self-absorbed and turn inward."
"Jesus, who suffered the most, has the most compassion for all of us who suffer so much less. Indeed, the depth of suffering and compassion is intimately linked to the depth of love felt by the ministering one."
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. James and I did finish "Mind Games" today. Our friend Stephanie is a pretty good writer.
I made one of my new recipes for dinner: foil steak and potatoes, and asparagus. I will not make this meal again. Too much work, and not the right way to cook a delicious ribeye steak.
I also made rolls and banana nut bread.
It was windy today, which is never pleasant when James goes outside to work.
I am patiently waiting for the conference talks to be downloaded onto lds.org.
I worked on Alice's candy bouquet while James went to the dump, Empire Cat, Home Depot, Aliberto's and Verizon. He brought me back a tace! Bless him!
I worked on my blog for the 27th and 28th of September.
Carmen is here for her mom's 90th birthday. Her daughters Sarah and Sydney came with her. She was very sad that Lois's party was cancelled and that we were not coming down. So is Gail.
For F.H.E. we read from Preach My Gospel. Afterwards we watched "Chesapeake Shores."
Happy Birthday Mom, Grandmother, ....
You are the best!
