2023 September 3, Journal Entry

 

Mt. Timpanogos looked very majestic under beautiful clouds yesterday.

We worked at the Bishops Storehouse and, being the Saturday before Labor Day I suppose, it was by far the busiest day there that we have experienced so far. Afterward I took a walk in the neighborhood while Cathy napped. After that, Cathy and I both walked for another mile and then we took a little drive.

I slept all the way to 6:00 a.m. this morning so now it's the in the afternoon and I'm just now doing Journal and Come Follow Me studies.

Come Follow Me

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

"The problem is that we don’t always see things as clearly as we would like to. The Apostle Paul compared it to looking “through a glass, darkly.” There’s a lot of confusion in the world about what is right and wrong. Truth gets twisted to make evil seem good and good seem evil.

But when you earnestly seek the truth—eternal, unchanging truth—your choices become much clearer. Yes, you still have temptation and trials. Bad things still happen. Puzzling things. Tragic things. But you can manage when you know who you are, why you are here, and when you trust God."

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, October 2022

Book of Mormon Reading

Mosiah Chapter 29 Mosiah proposes that judges be chosen in place of a king—Unrighteous kings lead their people into sin—Alma the younger is chosen chief judge by the voice of the people—He is also the high priest over the Church—Alma the elder and Mosiah die. About 92–91 B.C.
