Journal Entry

We went to church together. Cathy seems to have relapsed some with her cold symptoms. Hopefully she'll feel better today.

Got to see my spine surgeon, Dr. Kimball today. I think I'm still recovering well. I've been diligent in using my spine simulator and I have to believe it's helping. I'll see what the doc says and report back.

Other than that there's not much on our plate for today. We're going to the Bishops Storehouse tomorrow. I actually entertained the thought of going back to Thursdays along with our Tuesday assignment but that will be up to Cathy and may be a little way away. I like serving there.

Come Follow Me 

When you pray, are you really praying or just saying a prayer?

Moroni 7:9 And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall pray and not with real intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such.

"One of the greatest lessons was that I should always, always pray “with a sincere heart, with real intent, [exercising] faith in Christ.”

On one occasion the Lord Jesus Christ “was praying in a certain place,” and “when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray.” Then He taught His disciples to pray. And today He teaches you and me to pray as we see Him in our minds praying in Gethsemane and saying, “Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done”. When you pray, do you really, truly want that “not my will, but thine, be done?"

Elder Juan A. Uceda Of the Seventy, October 2016

Mormon 7:2 And now I, Mormon, speak unto you, my beloved brethren; and it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and his holy will, because of the gift of his calling unto me, that I am permitted to speak unto you at this time. 3 Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven. 4 And now my brethren, I judge these things of you because of your peaceable walk with the children of men.
