Journal Entry

I sang in the choir at Sacrament meeting yesterday and the program was well received and well done in my opinion. It was a Christmas program obviously and there was no other meetings other than Sacrament meeting. We enjoyed a nice afternoon and evening. 

Today we are scheduled to have lunch at Beth's home. Looking forward to that. Hopefully we'll be able to get some walking in early but we'll see.

Come Follow Me 

Helaman 14:4  Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day, as if it were one day and there were no night; and this shall be unto you for a sign; for ye shall know of the rising of the sun and also of its setting; therefore they shall know of a surety that there shall be two days and a night; nevertheless the night shall not be darkened; and it shall be the night before he is born.

5 And behold, there shall a new star arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.

"In ancient America, Samuel the Lamanite prophesied that on the night of the Savior’s birth “there [would] be great lights in heaven, … insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day.”

In those days as in ours, some naysayers, called anti-Christs, convinced others that there was no need for a Savior and His Atonement. When Samuel’s prophecy was finally fulfilled and there was a “day and a night and a day, as if it were one day,” what joy must have filled the hearts of those who had believed in the prophets!"
