I had purchased a new lamp for our front porch yesterday. Installing it proved pretty difficult. It required lining up three electrical sockets plus two screw holes and I just couldn’t get it done. I was somewhat discouraged and re-read the instructions and went to the web site but nothing helped. I contacted Jake and gave him the details. He said he would look at things and come over this morning at 1000 which he did. Then, much to my gratitude and in answer to my prayers, he was able to get it installed.

The actual light can be modified to show different colors by simply tapping a button. I put it on green just for this photo but will normally have it on standard white. 

Come Follow Me 

D&C 27:15 Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand.

16 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you;

17 Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;

18 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen.

“…[I]f we are faithful…this armor will be given to us as a gift from God. We need this armor!

…[Y]our [parents] and [grandparents] never faced the temptations that you face on a regular basis. You are living in the last days. If your [parents] wanted to get in trouble, [they] had to go searching for it. Not anymore! Today temptation finds you! Please remember that! Satan desires to have you, and “sin lieth at the door.” How will you resist his aggressive tactics? Put on the whole armor of God.”
