 Journal Entry

The Bishops' Storehouse was busy right from the 9 a.m. opening. Saturdays seem to be real busy and understandably so. It's enjoyable because we deal with many different people. Some are very careful to not get too much. Others seem to get pretty excessive amounts. It's all approved by there Bishops but one couple had three cartloads of goods. Seemed like enough food to last months and I can't help wondering where they are going to store the frozen and refrigerated stuff. Others just get small amounts. It's interesting.

After lunch we drove up Hobble Creek and saw some amazing scenery. I made a blog entry about that.

Speaking of blog entries, this Journey app, while good, costs me $30 a year. I recently stumbled across a blog I started years ago, 34m30.blogspot.com, that is still there and I've started copying my journal entries to that blog. It's free and actually easier to use but I need to go back in this Journey app and start moving my entries to the blog. Then I can scrap this system and use obligations the blog from here on.

Come Follow Me

Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

"Zion and Babylon are incompatible. “No man can serve two masters.” Let’s all remember the Savior’s penetrating question, “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?”

Let us demonstrate our love for the Lord through wholehearted, voluntary obedience."

Book of Mormon reading

The Book of Jacob the Brother of Nephi

The words of his preaching unto his brethren. He confoundeth a man who seeketh to overthrow the doctrine of Christ. A few words concerning the history of the people of Nephi.

Chapter 1

Jacob and Joseph seek to persuade men to believe in Christ and keep His commandments—Nephi dies—Wickedness prevails among the Nephites. About 544–421 B.C.

Chapter 2

Jacob denounces the love of riches, pride, and unchastity—Men may seek riches to help their fellowmen—The Lord commands that no man among the Nephites may have more than one wife—The Lord delights in the chastity of women. About 544–421 B.C.
