 Journal Entry

I spent a couple of hours learning more forklift operations.

Today we will serve our Saturday morning shift at the Bishops' Storehouse.

Yesterday, Beth and Karen came over for dinner and we had a nice visit. Karen is looking at jobs in the Santa Monica area and San Diego area of California.

Cathy made a wonderful Taco salad and gave enough to Beth and Karen for a meal or two for them in coming days. Cathy is such a blessing to all who know her.

Come Follow Me

"In time, addictions enslave both the body and the spirit. Full repentance from addiction is best accomplished in this life, while we still have a mortal body to help us.

As children of God, we should not let anything enter the body that might defile it. To allow sensors of sight, touch, or hearing to supply the brain with unclean memories is a sacrilege. We will cherish our chastity and avoid “foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown [us] in destruction and perdition.” We will “flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, [and] meekness”—traits that edify the whole soul.

Who are we? We are children of God. Our potential is unlimited. Our inheritance is sacred. May we always honor that heritage—in every thought and deed"

We Are Children of God

By Elder Russell M. Nelson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

October 1998

Great talk. Look it up and read the whole thing.

Book of Mormon reading

2nd Nephi Chapter 32

Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost—Men must pray and gain knowledge for themselves from the Holy Ghost. About 559–545 B.C.

2 Do ye not remember that I said unto you that after ye had received the Holy Ghost ye could speak with the tongue of angels? And now, how could ye speak with the tongue of angels save it were by the Holy Ghost?

I need to think about and carefully consider everything I say and make sure that it's right as much as I can.

Chapter 33

Nephi’s words are true—They testify of Christ—Those who believe in Christ will believe Nephi’s words, which will stand as a witness before the judgment bar. About 559–545 B.C.
