I got new IV antibiotic needs yesterday. They are exactly the same as last week. Not sure what the significance of that is although the new needs are supposed to reflect the results of yesterday's blood draw. So... Same old....
My cat comes off today and they will take a look at my toe and see if a new cast is warranted. The prediction was that it would be but we'll see.
Cathy has, as usual, been angelic in taking good care of me. What a blessing she is.
Come Follow Me
D&C 89:4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation
"That revelation begins, “In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation.”
It is a shield and a protection unto our people, particularly to our youth. It becomes a part of that “whole armor” of God promised in the revelations to protect them from the “fiery darts” of the adversary.
The Church and individual members of it have always been, are now, and ever will be under siege from the adversary. He will cover, even erase the still, small voice through loud and dissonant music awash with lyrics that cannot be understood—or worse, by lyrics that can be understood. He will carefully lead us astray with every other temptation he could devise."
President Boyd K. Packer, Apostle
The physical blessings of health and strength that are promised through obedience to the Word of Wisdom are now well-known and well documented. In addition, the spiritual blessings of “wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures” (D&C 89:19), come to those who keep their bodies free from addictive substances. When we obey the Word of Wisdom, windows of personal revelation are opened to us and our souls are filled with divine light and truth. If we keep our bodies undefiled, the Holy Ghost “shall come upon [us] and … dwell in [our] heart[s]” (D&C 8:2) and teach us “the peaceable things of immortal glory” (Moses 6:61).
