Journal Entry 

My visit with the doctor yesterday was very productive. I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow and that should verify what is causing my pain. In the meantime he prescribed some medication that will help reduce my pain and sleep better.

I did, in fact, sleep better last night and my pain level is more bearable. Encouraging.

Bishops Storehouse today. Looking forward to that.

Come Follow Me 

Mosiah 13:4 But I must fulfil the commandments wherewith God has commanded me; and because I have told you the truth ye are angry with me. And again, because I have spoken the word of God ye have judged me that I am mad.

"Unfortunately, messengers of divinely mandated commandments are often no more popular today than they were anciently… Hate is an ugly word, yet there are those today who would say with the corrupt Ahab, “I hate [the prophet Micaiah]; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always [prophesied] evil.”…Sadly enough, my young friends, it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much, comfortable gods, smooth gods who not only don’t rock the boat but don’t even row it, gods who pat us on the head, make us giggle, then tell us to run along and pick marigolds. 

Talk about man creating God in his own image!"

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, April 2014
