Going, Going, Gone!

I had a really fun date with my sweet lady after church this evening ... we cruised Main ... really slow ... had a nice conversation ... while driving nine miles looking at the green grass of La Verkin after a fresh rain ... and watching the odometer.  You should try it sometime ... it's fun watching all those nines roll over to zeroes.  For the third time.  Which was a first for us, we've seen cars do it two times, but never three.  Also  brought back memories of everywhere we driven with each one of you to get there ...

You Can Never Cross The Ocean Until You Have The Courage To Lose Sight Of The Shore

"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore."
Apparently incorrectly attributed to Columbus, but worth pondering anyway!

Today's scripture:

And also it grieveth me that I must use so much boldness of speech   concerning you, before your wives and your children, many of 

I Just Cannot Do It All So I Will Choose To Do What I Can, Fabulously

Today's scripture:

"Wherefore we labored diligently among our people, that  we might persuade them to come unto Christ, and  partake of the goodness of God, that they might enter  into his rest, lest by any means he should swear in his  wrath they should not enter in, as in the provocation  in the days of temptation while the children of Israel       were in the wilderness."

                          -- Jacob 1:7

It's Not The Years In Your Life That Count. It's The Life In Your Years

Today's scripture:

"And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his work   among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring about the   restoration of his people upon the earth."

                                    -- 2 Nephi 30:8

People wait all week for friday - all year for summer - all life for ...

Today's scripture:

For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the   north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall   write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books   which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according   to their works, according to that which is written.

                                  -- 2 Nephi 29:11

Sounds like another charge to each of us to write our histories and our testimonies in our journals, for the blessing of at least ourselves and our families if not others!

When You Come To The End Of Your Rope ...

Today's scripture:

"Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ^aease in Zion!

"Wo be unto him that crieth: All is well!

"Yea, wo be unto him that ^ahearkeneth unto the precepts of men, and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!"

                                    -- 2 Nephi 28:24-26

Let's all cheerfully, faithfully, endure to the end ... and whenever we reach the end of our rope pray thanks to the Lord for all he has blessed us with in life, and ask for his strength to hang on!

Great Advice ... From A Tree!

Today's scripture:

"For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also   our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for   we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do."

                                          -- 2 Nephi 25:23

We believe in Christ.  We believe we cannot be saved without His infinite grace, for which we are eternally thankful.  And we believe Christ expects us to show our thanks by sincerely trying to live a Christlike life.
