Book of Mormon: 1 Nephi 1.  In addition to the Come Follow Me study that will be ongoing through this year, I am going to reread the Book of Mormon separately by reading approximately one chapter a day.

I drove to the Toyota dealership to get our new windshield installed. They open at 0700 and I arrived at 0645. When I got in, the service tech, which is the same one I had problems with before, said they couldn't proceed because he had not been notified that their parts department had received our windshield. I called their parts department on Wednesday and they verified for me that the windshield had arrived. Bottom line I was irritated so I called Cathy and started for home.

Cathy did a little research and found a place called Quick Fix in Pleasant Grove that had very good reviews. We went there and they were able to get the new windshield and installed it yesterday for nearly $500 less than Toyota wanted to charge me. They were very impressive and did a great job.

Pickle ball was fun as usual and good exercise.

Come Follow Me 

Jacob 4:7 Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by his grace, and his great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things.

"We cannot simply repent of being weak—nor does weakness itself make us unclean. We cannot grow spiritually unless we reject sin, but we also do not grow spiritually unless we accept our state of human weakness, respond to it with humility and faith, and learn through our weakness to trust in God. When Moroni fretted about the weakness of his writing, God did not tell him to repent. Instead, the Lord taught him to be humble and to have faith in Christ. As we are meek and faithful, God offers grace—not forgiveness—as the remedy for weakness. Grace is an enabling power from God to do what we cannot do on our own (see Bible Dictionary, “Grace”)—the appropriate godly remedy by which He can “make weak things become strong.”
