Journal Entry 

We bought two sets of shelves one fit Cathy's bathroom and one for mine to install on the walls near the sinks. They look great and we're very easy to assemble but the screws and anchors to attach them to the walls were of poor quality and resulted in the need to patch the holes I made and start over. I'm going to work on that today.

We walked in our local park yesterday morning and then up in Provo Canyon. I'm getting stronger every day and walking is becoming less of a chore and more enjoyable. Plus it's good exercise for an old guy.

Cathy went to the Bishops Storehouse while Jake came over and helped me with the shelves. I ended up with over 8500 steps. I'm trying to resume my goal of 7500+ steps per day.

Come Follow Me 

Alma 40: 23 The soul shall be restored to the body, and the body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its body; yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost; but all things shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame.

24 And now, my son, this is the restoration of which has been spoken by the mouths of the prophets—

25 And then shall the righteous shine forth in the kingdom of God.

"Ultimately, we know that every physical ailment, malady, or imperfection will be healed in the Resurrection. That is a gift to all mankind through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus Christ can heal more than just our physical bodies. He can heal our spirits as well. Throughout scripture we learn how Christ helped those whose spirits were weak and made them whole. As we ponder these experiences, our hope and faith in the Savior’s power to bless our lives increases. Jesus Christ can change our hearts, heal us from the effects of injustice or abuse we may experience, and strengthen our capacity to bear loss and heartache, bringing us peace to help us endure the trials of our lives, healing us emotionally."
