Journal Entry

We enjoyed our endowment session yesterday at 0630. Afterward we went to Corner Bakery for breakfast then Cathy spent most of the rest of the day baking and otherwise preparing for Christmas. We both went to Dan Wilson's place in Lehi and got a few more tree ornaments and a print of one of his paintings.

He is a very good artist and an excellent business man. Many of his paintings appear in several temples and prints can be purchased at Deseret Book, Costco and other outlets. He also has turned some of his favorites into Christmas ornaments that are very high quality and also puzzles and other products. He sells most of his work from his in-home studio located in Lehi. Very pleasant fellow also.

Come Follow Me 

Moroni 10:32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

33 And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.

"Our hope for holiness is centered in Christ, in His mercy and His grace. With faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, we may become clean, without spot, when we deny ourselves of ungodliness and sincerely repent…Our souls are sanctified when we receive the Holy Ghost with open hearts…Over time, as we continually strive to become one with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we become partakers of Their divine nature."
