Journal Entry 

We served at the Bishops Storehouse yesterday and were pretty busy. Except the photo here caught some of us focusing on our cell phones. Actually everyone in the room was gazing upon their cell phones but I only caught three before I was spotted.

We went home afterward and Cathy was going to make pizza but lost her enthusiasm. And I don't blame her. For some reason working at the Storehouse is pretty tiring so we ordered pizza from Dominoes instead.

It was delicious but for some reason at about 0200 I woke up and could not go back to sleep. So I came into the TV room and slept there a little fitfully. Any way, I'm feeling a little better now but was tired for awhile. Today is going to be a "tired" day but that's OK.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 86:5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;

6 But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also.

"The Lord explained that in this final time prior to His return, the “wheat,” whom He describes as “the children of the kingdom,” would grow side by side with the “tares,” or those who do not love God and do not keep His commandments. They would “both grow together,” side by side.

This will be our world until the Savior returns, with much that is good and much that is evil on every side.

You may at times not feel like a strong, mature strand of wheat. Be patient with yourself! The Lord said that the wheat would include tender blades springing up. We are all His Latter-day Saints, and although not yet all we want to be, we are serious in our desire to be His true disciples."
