I Had Pie

It was chocolate in spite of the picture.

Life is uncertain.

Eat dessert first.

Really I didn't eat dessert first, but I did late tonight. Dessert is not on the program. But my friend, Lisa, came to visit while I was watching my dad and brought me pie. She didn't twist my arm, but instead, I chose to indulge in her generosity. My weight has stayed the same for he last three days. I don't know what a piece of pie will do to it.

Kate left this morning so my family and I are back trading in and out watching Poppy. We're not only watching Poppy, but we've been fixing up the house this summer. There are a lot of opinions on how and what to do to get things in order, but we're moving forward. Wish I had some pictures, but I don't. That will come later.

My brother, Mark, and his family have been here off and on to help. Hopefully next month things will be good enough for our caregiver, Teresa, to move in with her family. This is the next step in the care of my father.

Life is uncertain...eat dessert first.

Sounds a lot like "eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die."

Regardless of how you phrase it it's all false doctrine.

Still waiting for someone to make the right choice.

Read the Book of Mormon...

Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

Moroni 10:3-5

“Search the scriptures—search the revelations … and ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, to manifest the truth unto you, and if you do it with an eye single to His glory nothing doubting, He will answer you by the power of His Holy Spirit. You will then know for yourselves and not for another. You will not then be dependent on man for the knowledge of God; nor will there be any room for speculation.”

Joseph Smith,
from Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 11–12.

"It is the Holy Ghost who testifies that Jesus Christ is the Beloved Son of a Heavenly Father who loves us and wants us to have eternal life with Him in families. With even the beginning of that testimony, we feel a desire to serve Him and to keep His commandments. When we persist in doing that, we receive the gifts of the Holy Ghost to give us power in our service. We come to see the hand of God more clearly, so clearly that in time we not only remember Him, but we come to love Him and, through the power of the Atonement, become more like Him."
