Family is Everything…
Today

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2022


 Lunch Bunch was at the 

home of Brandon and
Stehphanie Howell to
honor Brandon's mother

Sharon, who is the gal
who arranges the
lunch bunch lunches
each Wednesday.

It is for Sharon's 75th birthday.

   Our Wednesday night movie was:
 
Deciding which noir movie to watch.
Gary is in Sacramento for his work. I googled noir movies and got really wierd current ones--lmostly rated R. So I googled "best noir movies of the1940s"' and got
"White Heat" with James Cagney as one.
Then I read about his life...
born in July 1899, died in March 1986 at age 86. Married to "Billie" Vernon from 1922 till he died. He loved to farm...had two farms--one at Martha's vineyard, and one in New York.

Happy Fall ya'all
The sun crossed the Equator 
so it's the 
Fall Equinox'



Some mellow thoughts about
 
the changing of the SEASONS...  "Like spring, autumn is a season of transformation. As we watch the leaves change and fall, it’s natural to reflect on the seasons of our own lives and the large and small shifts that are underway. Autumn is also a time for harvesting the fruits of our labors — both literally and figuratively — as well as celebrating our growth and gathering with loved ones for time-honored holidays and traditions.

 In many parts of the world, autumn is marked by a parade of fiery hues on the boughs above our heads. Deciduous trees light up with a burst of color — greens become yellows, oranges, reds, purples, and browns as the intensity of summer dramatically gives way to a more subdued time of year. There are so many ways to revel in the fall season; it might be a warm scarf, mug of hot cider, spooky jack-o’-lantern, hiking and camping, reunion with loved ones, or a return to campuses and athletic fields. However you choose to spend this season of change, these 15* quotes are bound to invigorate your appreciation for autumn.

{*Eileen's note: I'll share these quotes throughout September, October, and November.}

"Autumn brings a longing to get away from the unreal things of life, out into the forest at night with a campfire and the rustling leaves."
— Margaret Elizabeth Sangster, poet

Eileen,

Important: Updated COVID-19 vaccines are now available to provide increased protection against the currently circulating Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants.

If it has been at least 2 months since you completed your COVID-19 primary series or had your last booster, then you are eligible for an updated vaccine

I saw this while I was waiting at Costco to get the Pfizer booster.
The pharmacist said they
had just gotten this new booster vaccine a couple of weeks ago.

I had tried--for the second time--last week at Walmart and they still didn't have it in.

So here's my Covid immunization record:

Vaccines #1 and #2 were given at Utah County Health Department in Provo 

#1 Moderna at Provo January 28, 2021.

#2 Moderna at Provo February 25, 2021.

Booster #1 Pfizer at WalMart October 29, 2021

Booster #2 Pfizer at Costco September 22. 2022

Family is Everything…
  

Today I've been catching my blog up to date. I had not finished my post for Sunday, Sep 11, for our SS 3 Ward Street Snack evening. It has been a fun way to see where ward members live, and get to now them better. It will resume next summer.

I also found those great quotes
about Autumn.
Here's one for today:

** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ that makes this Great Plan operational.
At the end of this September 25th,

I pray you have had a

restful , peaceful, and spiritual

Sabbath Day...

I share these truths as my testimony to you...


Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence.  
He loves us just 
as we are at this very moment. 
He knows what our potential is.
Daily Scripture: Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God. - Mormon 9:28
Daily Quote: Our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, feel sorrow when we choose to remain in sin, when the gift of repentance made possible through the Atonement can clean, reclaim, and sanctify our lives. - Shayne M. Bowen

*** *** ***

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.

*** *** ***
I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. 
Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."
Daily Scripture: And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew
***  *** *** *** ***


Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration.  He is the Restorer of all things.

President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world. 
*** *** ***

The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.

Daily Scripture: This life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead. - Alma 12:24
Daily Quote: I invite you to diligently learn about and appreciate the eternal importance of temple covenants, temple ordinances, and temple worship as you strive to come unto the Savior. - David A. Bednar

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.
Daily Scripture: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. - Isaiah 29:14
Daily Quote: Seven centuries before the birth of Christ, Isaiah foresaw and foretold the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in these latter days. This is the spiritual kingdom of God moving forward in its divine course to fill the earth, a truly marvelous work and a wonder! - Ezra Taft Benson
