Big day today. Our new mattress gets delivered this morning. And we're getting our wall to wall carpets cleaned so I think I need to move a lot of furniture around. Plus it's getting near or below freezing outside so I need to get our hoses into the garage. That's all . I'll try to let you know in tomorrow's post how I did.

Come Follow Me 

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

"Now, my dear brothers and sisters, it takes both faith and courage to let God prevail. It takes persistent, rigorous spiritual work to repent and to put off the natural man through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It takes consistent, daily effort to develop personal habits to study the gospel, to learn more about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and to seek and respond to personal revelation.

During these perilous times of which the Apostle Paul prophesied, Satan is no longer even trying to hide his attacks on God’s plan. Emboldened evil abounds. Therefore, the only way to survive spiritually is to be determined to let God prevail in our lives, to learn to hear His voice, and to use our energy to help gather Israel."

President Russell M. Nelson, "Let God Prevail", October 2020

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
