Cathy had a medical appointment this morning so we didn't walk until afternoon. It was hot - low 90s - but cooler up by the falls and quite a bit of shade as well. We made it for three miles. We also drove around the Alpine Loop from American Fork Canyon to Sundance. It's got to be one of the most beautiful drives in the world.

Come Follow Me 

1 Corinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

"A perfect time to ask, “What lack I yet?” is when we take the sacrament. The Apostle Paul taught that this is a time for each of us to examine ourselves. In this reverent atmosphere, as our thoughts are turned heavenward, the Lord can gently tell us what we need to work on next."

Elder Larry R. Lawrence Of the Seventy, October 2015

The Scripture Plus app describes Paul as being dedicated to the level that he apparently accepted no pay or reward from the membership where he taught and tried to be a person who they could relate to and appreciate. It points out that participating in Gospel teachings and activities is a little like an athletic competition where training and preparation can be needed. But in the Gospel of Jesus Christ everyone who works and tries, wins.
