2023 November 24, Friday, Journal Entry

Today is "Black Friday" and just as I entered that short bit of information, Cathy came in to tell me she is having problems printing things that she is working on. So I've been trying to help her print and we think our printer might be kind of, sort of, maybe on the blink so to speak. I seem to be able to print from my iPad and my iPhone but she can't seem to print from the internet on her iPhone which she uses for virtually everything. One problem is when we got our phones, she got an "iPhone 13 Pro" and I got an "iPhone 13 Pro Max". She got hers because it is a little smaller and lighter. I got mine because it was bigger and could do more stuff. Unbeknownst to us at the time, my phone operates more like an iPad and so some of the basics are different from her phone. So when she has problems, it's sometimes difficult for me to help her.

So we enjoyed going over to Jake's for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday but Cathy can't just go there. She had to help somehow so Meredith agreed to let Cathy do the appetizers. She had wanted to do "bacon-wrapped smokies" which are little baby hot dogs wrapped in bacon so we did those and made a mess in our kitchen. Then she had fruit, chips, all kinds of dips, nuts... I mean a real feast. So we took all of that in our car which was seriously overloaded along with our backup microwave oven over to their house. By the time everyone was through with appetizers no one wanted any food. Anyway, it was very nice and we had a nice visit. Today I think we need to clean our oven.

I also need to finish our outdoor lights and prepare for my talk this Sunday.

Come Follow Me 

1 Peter 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

"...what we do know about the spirit world is that the Father’s and the Son’s work of salvation continues there. Our Savior initiated the work of declaring liberty to the captives, and that work continues as worthy and qualified messengers continue to preach the gospel, including repentance, to those who still need its cleansing effect."

President Dallin H. Oaks, October 2019

1 Peter 5:5 ...Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

 1st and 2nd Peter do a great job of explaining the Gospel. I have a new appreciation of Peter who is truly one of the greatest Apostles.
