2024 February 10, Saturday, Journal Entry

Yesterday we had nothing scheduled but nothing needed to immediately be accomplished so basically a free day. We took a nice drive up to Kamas and ended up at Fashion Place Mall in Murray. Cathy had some questions regarding our iPhones security and she got answers at the Apple store there at the mall. I could try to go into the details of her concerns but the bottom line is that the security of our personal information contained in our iPhones is pretty well protected. We still have to exercise reasonable caution but should be OK.  I actually almost talked her into getting a new iPad because here's doesn't hold a charge very well and it's so bad that she has a hard time using it. She does everything on line mostly through her iPhone which is so small that, to me, it's really difficult for complex stuff. We found that we could get $75 credit by bringing in her old iPad so we hopefully will do that. 

Come Follow Me 

2 Nephi 2:25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

"My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.

When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. He is the source of all joy. We feel it at Christmastime when we sing, “Joy to the world, the Lord is come.” And we can feel it all year round. For Latter-day Saints, Jesus Christ is joy!"

Joy and Spiritual Survival By President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2016

"In the scriptures, the word joy typically means much more than passing moments of contentment or even feelings of happiness. Joy in this context is a godly attribute, found in its fulness when we return to dwell in the presence of God. It is more profound, elevating, enduring, and life-changing than any pleasure or comfort this world can offer.

We were created to have joy. It is our intended destiny as children of a loving Heavenly Father. He wants to share His joy with us."
