On the Program for the Rest of My Life

Happy New Year!

It's resolution time. I'm going to lose weight this year instead of gaining - famous last words. How many times have I said it? How many times has it been my goal? I wish I could start with a picture, but with the computer complications I've been having I'm not going to deal with it. (I'll add one later. Suffice it to say, we need a new computer. Blogging will be easier and better when we get one and hopefully that will be this year.)

I weighed in this morning at 250.8 lbs. I'm a good double what I was when I got married. YIKES! I will be writing about my doings throughout the year. This is my number one goal I will focus on and will continue to focus on, hence, my blog post title: On the Program for the Rest of My Life.

Family Home Evening this week was from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's latest general conference talk Of Regrets and Resolutions, he said:

"Let us resolve to follow the Savior

and work with diligence

to become the person

we were designed to become.

Let us listen to and obey

the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

As we do so, Heavenly Father

will reveal to us

things we never knew about ourselves.

He will illuminate the path ahead

and open our eyes

to see our unknown and perhaps

unimagined talents."

HERE I GO!!!

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."
