Journal Entry:

So here we are on Father's Day and I need to catch up on my journal entries.

The weather has been good but quite warm. Nevertheless we fixed up the front garden quite a bit and also the back patio. So photos of both are herewith attached.

Yesterday was Flag Day and I was pleased to have our newest and finest flags on display.

Since today is Father's Day and we are having some folks over, I fixed up the back patio so we might enjoy being out there. It's pushing 90 degrees already and it's not even non yet so I might be lonesome barbecuing out there.

Erica and Alexander are sick so our guest list will include only Jake, Jill, Fredrick and Jake's Mo-in-law.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 63:47 He that is faithful and endureth shall overcome the world.

"While speaking to elders assembled in Kirtland, the Lord said, “I will that ye should overcome the world; wherefore I will have compassion upon you.” The Lord knows our weakness and the eternal consequences of “the world” upon imperfect men and women. The word wherefore in this verse is His affirmation that it is only by virtue of His compassion that we may ultimately “overcome the world.” How is that compassion made manifest? To these same elders in Kirtland, He said, “I have forgiven you your sins.” The Savior wants to forgive."

Elder Craig A. Cardon of The Seventy, April 2013
