Journal Entry 

After attending our weekly 0630 Endowment Session, We took Erica to breakfast at Corner Bakery and Jake joined us with Jill and Fredrick. Nice visit. 

After breakfast, Cathy and Erica and I drove up to the South Fork of Provo Canyon to enjoy the spectacular colors of the trees and bushes that are turning fall colors. There's a fun little park area up there that we walked around in for awhile. Very enjoyable.

Then Erica and Cathy decorated our home for the Autumn season and I watched football. Two of my favorite teams won, BYU beat Baylor and USC beat Wisconsin, so that was enjoyable. Despite having pizza for dinner and not walking my 7500 steps, my weight was down a little this morning so that was good. This morning I watched a little of the UofU getting trounced by Arizona which was a surprise, but oh well. All of the football I watch is recorded so I can watch at my convenience and fast-forward through the boring stuff.

Same for Sunday games. I never watch a pro game or any other TV on Sunday when or if it interferes with church related duties. But I do record some programs including football that I watch later if I have the time.

Come Follow Me 

 3 Nephi 11:38 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.

"Repentance isn’t optional. We are commanded to repent...We must not let... one bad habit, one bad choice, one wrong decision derail us for a lifetime.

Sometimes people get casual about repenting. I have heard some people say that repenting is too hard. Others say they are tired of feeling guilty or have been offended by a leader who was helping them repent. Sometimes people give up when they have made mistakes and come to believe that there is no hope for them. Some people imagine that they will feel better about themselves if they just leave the restored gospel and go away.

It is Satan who puts hopeless thoughts into the hearts of those who have made mistakes. The Lord Jesus Christ always gives us hope."
