My main accomplishment yesterday was attending the managers meeting at the Lindon Bishop's Storehouse. To be included with that group is a great honor. These are people who want to serve others and are doing so in a wonderful way. Providing food and other related resources to our brothers and sisters who are in need is a great opportunity and Cathy and I are very pleased to be a part of that. We are going to be serving there this afternoon.

Going to breakfast with Jake this morning. He is doing great.

Come Follow Me 

1 Nephi 12:17 And the mists of darkness are the temptations of the devil, which blindeth the eyes, and hardeneth the hearts of the children of men, and leadeth them away into broad roads, that they perish and are lost.

18 And the large and spacious building, which thy father saw, is vain imaginations and the pride of the children of men. And a great and a terrible gulf divideth them; yea, even the word of the justice of the Eternal God, and the Messiah who is the Lamb of God, of whom the Holy Ghost beareth record, from the beginning of the world until this time, and from this time henceforth and forever.

"Remembering that we are here on earth to prepare to return to live with God helps us focus on the things that lead us to Christ.

Focusing on Christ requires discipline, especially about the small and simple spiritual habits that help us become better disciples. There is no discipleship without discipline.

Our focus on Christ becomes more clear when we look down the road at where we want to be and who we want to become and then make time every day to do those things that will help us get there. Focusing on Christ can simplify our decisions and provide a guide for how we can best spend our time and resources."

Elder Alvin F. Meredith III Of the Seventy, October 2021

Hold onto that rod of iron, the word and direction from God, our Heavenly Father, who loves us.
