Journal Entry

I ate terribly yesterday. Basically had two dinners plus a brownie and ice cream and no exercise. Thus my weight this morning of 230. I will do better starting right now.

We've got nothing on our calendar this Monday morning and my plan is to get back to my physical therapy exercises and at least 7500 steps of walking. 

It's too cold outside to put up outdoor Christmas decorations. If it gets above 40 and the sun is shining I may try to at least decorate the front porch.

Come Follow Me 

Ether 12:4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God.

Amen!

"Hope is the anchor of our souls. I know of no one who is not in need of hope—young or old, strong or weak, rich or poor...

Peace comes through hope...

Hope is trust in God’s promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future...

The unfailing source of our hope is that we are sons and daughters of God and that His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, saved us from death."

President James E. Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, October 1999

"[H]ope is a living gift, a gift that grows as we increase our faith in Jesus Christ. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for.” We build this substance—the evidence blocks of our faith—through prayer, temple covenants, keeping the commandments, continually feasting on the scriptures and the words of modern-day prophets, taking the sacrament, serving others, and worshipping weekly with our fellow Saints."

Elder Neil L. Andersen Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2024

Ether 12:2 And Ether was a prophet of the Lord; wherefore Ether came forth in the days of Coriantumr, and began to prophesy unto the people, for he could not be restrained because of the Spirit of the Lord which was in him.

 3 For he did cry from the morning, even until the going down of the sun, exhorting the people to believe in God unto repentance lest they should be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all things are fulfilled— 4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God. 5 And it came to pass that Ether did prophesy great and marvelous things unto the people, which they did not believe, because they saw them not.
