Journal Entry 

This is the view from my hospital bed in room 708, at Utah Valley Hospital. It's Mt. Timpanogos and it's a lot more spectacular in person and it's a very pleasant and uplifting  view.

I had a typical night in the hospital... A little sleep while constantly being interrupted by staff doing their duty. The main thing now is that my incision has a drain tube to relieve the post-op bleeding. If that looks OK with Dr Kimball I will possibly be able to go home today. Hope!

They have good food here. I just ordered a "Wasatch omelet" and a bowl of overnight oats. So more later. 

Come Follow Me

Alma 11: 44 Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.

"Resurrection makes it possible for a person’s spirit and body to be united again, only this time that body will be immortal and perfect—not subject to pain, disease, or other problems.

After resurrection, the spirit will never again be separated from the body because the Savior’s Resurrection brought total victory over death. In order to obtain our eternal destiny, we need to have this immortal soul—a spirit and body—united forever. With spirit and immortal body inseparably connected, we can “receive a fulness of joy.” In fact, without the Resurrection we could never receive a fulness of joy but would be miserable forever."

Elder Paul V. Johnson Of the Seventy, April 2016

Alma 34:32 For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.

33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
