3-2023 August 16, Journal Entry

 I went to the Bishops' Storehouse at 0530 yesterday and worked with Dave Sherratt on my forklift training. He signed me off and I am now approved and certified to work the forklift if needed.

Then I played pickleball with Bill Harvey, Art Sandgren and Art's brother, Chuck. Fun exercise.

Cathy and I worked our regular tour at the Bishops' Storehouse from 2 to 6:30 p.m.

I've been asked to substitute at the Initiatory Desk this morning so I have to be there at 0445. Got to get going. Gonna be tired today.

Come Follow Me 

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

"The process of God-directed purging and purifying will, of necessity, be wrenching and painful at times. Recalling Paul’s expression, we are “joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

So, in the midst of this refiner’s fire, rather than get angry with God, get close to God. Call upon the Father in the name of the Son. Walk with Them in the Spirit, day by day. Allow Them over time to manifest Their fidelity to you. Come truly to know Them and truly to know yourself. Let God prevail."
