Journal Entry

As the sun set yesterday, one of the senior Missionaries serving with us at the Bishops Storehouse came in and said that the view of the setting sun on Mt. Timpanogos was pretty spectacular... And it was. I took this photo from in back of the Bishops Storehouse and it really doesn't capture how spectacular the view really was.

Enjoyed another day of service at the Bishops Storehouse. Working there has given me an opportunity to work on several Christ-like skills or attributes. One is being non-judgemental and another is patience. The Storehouse is such a blessing to people who need food and other necessities that we can provide. While there is a possibility that these services could be abused, mostly it's a great system doing great things and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Today is my day to serve at the temple as an Ordinance Worker and I'm looking forward to that.

My health is pretty good right now. No back pain. It's sometimes hard to remember that I'm 79 years old and have had three back surgeries. I truly believe that being careful to avoid excessive bending, lifting and twisting cab lengthen my life and keep me useful.

I went to my eye doctor yesterday and he gave me a new prescription for eyeglasses. My ability to read or see things clearly that are close has deteriorated. I'm hoping that new glasses will be beneficial in that regard.

Joseph Smith History 1:33 He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.

"Why does the Lord allow the evil speaking to chase after the good? One reason is that opposition against the things of God sends seekers of truth to their knees for answers."
