Journal Entry:

In our recent trip to Phoenix, we stayed with Becky at her home in Peoria. Kevin had just added a new mattress topper to the bed we were using and it was very comfortable. I had often thought that our bed could be a little more comfortable, partly because Cathy didn't seem to be able to get enough rest. I, too, felt our bed could be more comfortable so I convinced Cathy that we should try the same mattress topper on our bed that Kevin had installed on the bed at Becky's home. So it came yesterday and I put it on our bed and I think it noticeably improved the comfort.

Cathy is still asleep which could be a good sign. Time will tell.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 59:23 But learn that he who doeth the works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.

Peace of mind, peace of conscience, and peace of heart are not determined by our ability to avoid trials, sorrow, or heartache. Despite our sincere pleas, not every storm will change course, not every infirmity will be healed, and we may not fully understand every doctrine, principle, or practice taught by prophets, seers, and revelators. Nevertheless, we have been promised peace—with a condition attached.

...[T]he Savior taught that despite the tribulations...we can be of good cheer, we can be of good hope, and we need not fear, because He declared, “In me ye might have peace.”...

...[T]he Savior...said: “Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me...” Learn, listen, and walk—three steps with a promise.

D&C 59:  8 Thou shalt offer a sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in righteousness, even that of a broken heart and a contrite spirit.

 9 And that thou mayest more fully keep thyself unspotted from the world, thou shalt go to the house of prayer and offer up thy sacraments upon my holy day;
