Journal Entry

I got a little sidetracked yesterday and didn't create a journal Entry. We enjoyed serving at the Bishops Storehouse Tuesday afternoon. Everything else was pretty unremarkable.

As you can see we got some steps in yesterday after two days of not doing much walking.

We went by and visited Beth and returned her Rummikub game and got her to put a little note in the Book she gave me for my birthday, "The Heart of the Matter" by President Russell M. Nelson. By the way I am really enjoying reading that book and highly recommend it to everyone.

Come Follow Me 

Joseph Smith History 1:15 After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me, and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God. I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick darkness gathered around me, and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.

"...Satan, or Lucifer, or the father of lies...is real, the very personification of evil. His motives are in every case malicious, and he convulses at the appearance of redeeming light, at the very thought of truth...[H]e is eternally opposed to the love of God, the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and the work of peace and salvation. He will fight against these whenever and wherever he can."

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2011
