Today's Journal Entry

Yesterday was difficult. Cathy was feeling poorly and we didn't get any real walking done. She and Erica went to the Hale Center Theater in Draper to see the show we had tickets for and I basically vegged at home. Hopefully I'll get some walking in today. I'm hoping to go to church even if Cathy is not able to. She has a difficult time sitting in any of the seats and it's actually painful for her. I'm going to try to go even if by myself.

I'm feeling pretty well but just need to build up my strength. I think I should just press forward carefully. I really don't have much pain any longer. I need to be active but careful.

Come Follow Me 

Alma 38: 12 Use boldness, but not overbearance; and also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness.

"Alma counseled his son Shiblon to “bridle all [of his] passions, that [he] may be filled with love.” Significantly, disciplining the natural man in each of us makes possible a richer, a deeper, and a more enduring love of God and of His children. Love increases through righteous restraint and decreases through impulsive indulgence."
