Journal Entry 

We were able to get a little walk in up by Bridal Veil Falls. We found a way to walk up there that is much less crowded than the main bike /pedestrian path. 

Cathy had to get xrays before her visit today with Dr. Kimball. Then she went to the Bishops Storehouse for her regular Tuesday shift and I stayed home and finally installed the shelves in her bathroom.

We had a terrible rain and hail storm that caused severe flooding in many parts of Utah County. 

We went to Chick-fil-A after I picked her up at the Storehouse and noticed that they were having severe leakage through the roof over their dining area. If you look carefully you can see the water pouring down from the light fixtures in the photo. 

Lots of weird weather lately and other factors making me appreciate the 2nd Coming and wonder how soon it will happen.

Come Follow Me 

Alma 46:20 Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them.

21 And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armor girded about their loins, rending their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God; or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, or fall into transgression, and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

22 Now this was the covenant which they made, and they cast their garments at the feet of Moroni, saying: We covenant with our God, that we shall be destroyed, even as our brethren in the land northward, if we shall fall into transgression; yea, he may cast us at the feet of our enemies, even as we have cast our garments at thy feet to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression.

"Let us remember the people’s response: exercising their agency, they “came running together” with a covenant to act.

My beloved brothers and sisters, don’t walk! Run! Run to receive the blessings of agency by following the Holy Ghost and exercising the freedoms God has given us to do His will."
