Jesus Christ, Creator
DC 88:7
Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made.
Book of Mormon
Alma 50:21-40
*Why was there never a, "happier time among the people of Nephi"?
-Because happiness come from within, not from external circumstances. True joy comes from doing what's right. With personal righteousness and faithfulness comes peace, and blessings from God.
Old Testament
Psalms 15-19
15 David asks, Who will dwell in the Lord's holy hill? - He answers, The righteous, the upright, and those with integrity.
16 A messianic psalm of David - He rejoices in the Saints who are on the earth, in his own future redemption from hell, in the fact that God will not suffer His Holy One (the Messiah) to see corruption, and in the fulness of joy that is found in the Lord's presence.
17 David pleads with the Lord to hear his voice and to preserve him from men of the world - David hopes to behold the Lord's face in righteousness.
18 David praises the Lord for His greatness and preserving care - The Lord's way is perfect - The Lord has given marvelous blessings - David testifies, The Lord lives, and blessed be my Rock.
19 David testifies, The heavens declare the glory of God, the law of the Lord is perfect, and the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
General Conference
Behold! A Royal Army
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
"I testify that as we move forward with this inspired quorum restructuring in our wards and stakes, we will see a multitude of blessings. Let me cite just a few examples.
Under the direction of the bishop, more priesthood resources may assist with the work of salvation. This would include the gathering of Israel through temple and family history work, working with families and individuals in need, and helping the missionaries to bring souls to Jesus Christ.
As previous presiding leaders return to share their experience with the quorum of elders, a stronger quorum membership will result.
There will be a greater diversity of gifts and capacities within the quorum."
"A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stirreth up anger." - Proverbs
"Avoid creating an appetite for that which creates an appetite for itself."
Happy 12th Birthday Joshua
Joshua bears his testimony every month in sacrament meeting.
He is very knowledgeable about WW II as we discovered on
his recent birthday date.
He is very thoughtful and kind to others and I call him
"Mr. Personality"!
Getting ready to blow!
I attended a card making class at the Vernon library this morning with my friends, Linda, Catherine, Judy and Lorraine. There were 15 women in all, but I only knew the above mentioned.
The class started out with 3 guest speakers from the District Library Board: Sue Ann, Jamie, and Dolly. Dolly also serves on the Apache County Historical Society of Arizona.
These three women shared their enthusiasm for journaling, dot journaling to be specific. Funny that this is the first time I have heard the term dot journaling yet recently when I was at Barne & Noble I bought a dot journal. I guess I was inspired because I am super excited about this concept. I came home and downloaded the book, for free I might add, "Dot Journaling, A Practical Guide," by Rachel Wilkerson Miller.
A dot journal is a place to keep all calendars, tasks, and future to do's and events. You gear it totally to your needs. It is also a place to express creativity. Dotty loves to draw birds so her journal had a picture of an eagle she had drawn. Jamie's birthday calender for the year was a balloon for each month with birthday's for that month written inside. Sue Ann is not artistic so she uses stickers and clip art to express her creativity. I am so excited to convert my planner into a dot journal!
After Jamie, Sue Ann, and Dotty left we ate our lunch and began our card making. There were five presenters: Linda, Judy, Elizabeth, Dianne, and the Mickey Mouse lady, I can't remember her name but she loves Mickey Mouse.
Each of these women had made card kits for each of us. Each month several other women will do the same. Here are the cards we made today:
The mermaid card was my favorite
It was after 2 when I got home and the class had started at 10. I was beat. I rested, did my steps, and read with James.
When James got home from the Howard's he showered and headed to the Morrison's to assess the water damage in their new home. Not really new, but new to them.
Sore knees, I can't keep this up.
