Journal Entry:

We are going to take our old patio furniture and a few other items to the dump today in a continuing effort to make our home more neat, clean and organized. Then it's off to the Bishops Storehouse for our weekly duties there. Should be a good day.

Come Follow Me 

Exodus 20: 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

"To our modern ears, this sounds like a prohibition against irreverently using the Lord’s name. The commandment includes that, but its injunction is even more profound. The Hebrew word translated as “take” means to “lift up” or “carry,” as one would a banner that identifies oneself with an individual or group. The word translated as “vain” means “empty” or “deceptive.” The commandment to not take the Lord’s name in vain can thus mean, “You should not identify yourself as a disciple of Jesus Christ unless you intend to represent Him well.”

Elder Dale G. Renlund, Apostle
