I actually did some exercising last night before having my shower. I slept pretty well and feel pretty good this morning. I hope I will have the character to continue with exercising along with other things each day when possible.

Cathy and I attended An endowment session yesterday and then went to sealings. We had three couples sealings and three child to parent sealings of our own in addition to assisting others. Sealings are a great way to assist those on the other side of the Veil while also assisting our fellow members on this side of the Veil with their efforts. It was a good day in the temple.

Psalm 28: 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

"We do not need to achieve some minimum level of capacity or goodness before God will help—divine aid can be ours every hour of every day, no matter where we are in the path of obedience…

I bear witness that God the Father lives, that His Son, Jesus Christ, is our Redeemer, and that the Holy Spirit is present with us. Their desire to help us is undoubted, and Their capacity to do so is infinite."

I didn't exercise last night. I was pretty tired when I got home from the Bishops Storehouse but I did get a good night's sleep and things will be better today as far as excersizing.

I'm not doing well in my personal exercise and eating. This is reflected in my numbers above. I would like to cut back on some of the unhealthy things I eat and drink and then try to do some decent exercises every evening... Or most evenings... Just before I have my shower and go to bed. I'll try to document the results if my efforts here and I hope this will reflect in lower glucose results and a little lower weight. Sometimes I tell my self that I'm 80 years old so I shouldn't have to workout or worry about my health too much but at other times I honestly feel pretty good and realistically might make it to agree 95or even beyond. Really, there's no reason not to at least try. We'll see. Documenting this here is a good first step but only a first step.

Come Follow Me:

Psalm 8: 3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

"You are known and remembered by the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! You are loved by the King of infinite space and everlasting time!

He who created and knows the stars knows you and your name—you are the daughters  [and sons] of His kingdom."

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

"When you trust in the Lord, when you are willing to let your heart and your mind be centered in His will, when you ask to be led by the Spirit to do His will, you are assured of the greatest happiness along the way and the most fulfilling attainment from this mortal experience."

Job 42:10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Helping others is a good thing and may bring rewards we haven't considered.

Come Follow Me:

Job 40: 8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

"In His response to Job, God demands, “Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?” Or in other words, “Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified?” Jehovah forcefully reminds Job of His omnipotence and omniscience, and Job in deepest humility admits he possesses nothing even close to the knowledge, power, and righteousness of God and cannot stand in judgment of the Almighty…

It truly is folly for us with our mortal myopia to presume to judge God, to think, for example, “I’m not happy, so God must be doing something wrong.” To us, His mortal children in a fallen world, who know so little of past, present, and future, He declares, “All things are present with me, for I know them all.”
