Journal

Worked at the Bishops Storehouse yesterday. Sister Storey generally gives me non-huge orders because she knows I'm still recovering from spinal surgery. So I had a very enjoyable day. I'm still the Tuesday manager though so Cathy and I were the last ones out but that's OK. We were still out by 18 45 and then Cathy had made some really good soup that we went home and ate.

We had breakfast with Jake and that was very pleasant. He has developed into a very impressive man, husband and father. Lots of good insights. Cathy mentioned that she had communicated by email with Kim regarding the way she treats Kevin. Suffice it to say that yesterday evening Kevin reported that she had treated him noticeably better than before. So good for Cathy. She's a very good mom and grandmother. (Wife too of course)

Come Follow Me 

Mormon 2:13 But behold this my joy was vain, for their sorrowing was not unto repentance, because of the goodness of God; but it was rather the sorrowing of the damned, because the Lord would not always suffer them to take happiness in sin.

14 And they did not come unto Jesus with broken hearts and contrite spirits, but they did curse God, and wish to die. Nevertheless they would struggle with the sword for their lives.

"We find healing and relief only when we bring ourselves to the feet of the Great Physician, our Savior, Jesus Christ. We must lay down our weapons of rebellion (and we each know what they are). We must lay down our sin, vanity, and pride. We must give up our desires to follow the world and to be respected and lauded by the world. We must cease fighting against God and instead give our whole hearts to Him, holding nothing back. Then He can heal us. Then He can cleanse us from the venomous sting of sin."
