We drove to Kamas for breakfast at the Mirror Lake Diner. It was good as always and expensive, also as usual. We decided to drive on to Coalville where some people who Cathy follows on social media are refurbishing a grocery store for a variety of reasons. Cute town but a long way from major civilization. But we did see another dinner called Oakley in a little wide spot on the highway also named Oakley. I think we'll try that soon. 

Then we drove to The Food Nanny store in SLC and bought some Kamoot flour. Then home and Cathy made some amazing cookies, some of which we will take to the Bishops Storehouse today as a treat.

Then we invited Karen and Beth to come over for dinner and a game of 5 Crowns. Enjoyed the day.

Come Follow Me 

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

"As is evident in our family proclamation, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are blessed with unique doctrine and different ways of viewing the world. We participate and even excel in many worldly activities, but on some subjects we forgo participation as we seek to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles, ancient and modern." 

Elder Dallin H. Oaks Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2017

I am reminded of the great blessings we receive through temple worship where we are Washed and Annointed to hear the word of the Lord and see clearly and discern truth. This takes effort and desire on our part but what a great blessing in these days where we literally almost can't trust anything except our church leaders.

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Book of Mormon reading 

The Prophecy of Nephi, the Son of Helaman—God threatens the people of Nephi that he will visit them in his anger, to their utter destruction except they repent of their wickedness. God smiteth the people of Nephi with pestilence; they repent and turn unto him. Samuel, a Lamanite, prophesies unto the Nephites.

Comprising chapters 7 through 16.

Chapter 7, Nephi is rejected in the north and returns to Zarahemla—He prays upon his garden tower and then calls upon the people to repent or perish. About 23–21 B.C.

Chapter 8, Corrupt judges seek to incite the people against Nephi—Abraham, Moses, Zenos, Zenock, Ezias, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lehi, and Nephi all testified of Christ—By inspiration Nephi announces the murder of the chief judge. About 23–21 B.C.
