Alma is teaching the people of Gideon in chapter 7. Verses 22-25 are among my favorites in all the scriptures, on a previous reading of the Book of Mormon I liked them well enough to memorize them. I hope you like them as well as I do ...
"And now my beloved brethren, I have said these things unto you that I might awaken you to a sense of your duty to God, that ye may walk blameless before him, that ye may walk after the holy order of God, after which ye have been received.
"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
"And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.
"And may the Lord bless you, and keep your garments spotless, that ye may at last be brought to sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the holy prophets who have been ever since the world began, having your garments spotless even as their garments are spotless, in the kingdom of heaven to go no more out."
The tortoise made it to day 5 ... a 1.30 mile walk at 2% grade in 30 minutes. Burned 133.9 calories. Thanks for your support! It is not getting easier, but I can feel it doing good things inside me.
I'm still playing catch up from losing the server hard drive, but passed a major threshhold today--the client invoice files are all pretty much restored. I was supposed to go to California for the week Monday evening to see 8 clients, this was one of several reasons I waited. Right now it is looking like tomorrow evening for the trip down. I am quite relieved to cross this one line off my to do list!
