Journal Entry 

I have had a sore back for several days now. It isn't a constant soreness but it manifests itself when I engage in certain physical activities. So yesterday was our pickleball day and I know that it really takes all four of us to play doubles with each other. I took a couple of  ibuprofen capsules and played. I took it slow and easy and got through it OK. 

Then I had a urological procedure to address another issue. Old age is catching up with me. But that procedure seemed to go well but will take time to know for certain... 7-10 days. I'll try to remember to report back but I tend to believe that urological issues probably don't belong in my daily journal at least not in any detailed manner.

Come Follow Me 

Jarom 1: 4 And there are many among us who have many revelations, for they are not all stiffnecked. And as many as are not stiffnecked and have faith, have communion with the Holy Spirit, which maketh manifest unto the children of men, according to their faith.

"Whatever our Church calling, we can pray to our Heavenly Father and receive guidance and direction, be warned about dangers and distractions, and be enabled to accomplish things we simply could not do on our own. If we will truly receive the Holy Ghost and learn to discern and understand His promptings, we will be guided in matters large and small."

Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives By President Russell M. Nelson President of the Church, April 2018

"In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost."

This is a truly important teaching and should be pondered and adopted.

"On matters of principle, conduct, religious observance, and righteous living, we are in control. Our faith in and worship of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, is a choice that we make."

Elder Quintin L. Cook of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles
