was too full to eat lunch.
Jennie always has to
leave before we get the
photo outside in the
sunshine, so I try yo
get a photo of her
before that.
Only four of us got to
have the photo outside.
Thanks, Kathie, for
driving us today.
Storm clouds rolling in...
Took some crème brûlée

I am thankful for our Savior,
Jesus Christ, every day.
Just saw this on facebook:
"Because of Jesus Christ, we will rise from the despair of death and embrace those we love, shedding tears of overwhelming joy and overflowing gratitude.

Because of Jesus Christ, we will exist as eternal beings, worlds without end.

Because of Jesus the Christ, our sins can not only be erased; they can be forgotten. We can become purified and exalted. Holy.

Because of our beloved Savior, we can forever drink from the fountain of water that springs up into eternal life. We can dwell forever in the mansions of our eternal King, in unimaginable glory and perfect happiness."

-Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

                Family is Everything…


Saw this on face book:
"If Price Gouging has been such an issue during these past 4 years why do we have a record number of stores and businesses closing their doors? Trying to make sense of this."

Here's what Gary answered:
Gary Petersen

This has it's roots back in the 80's when Regan starting de-regulation of big business and starting cutting corporate tax rates and upper income tax rates. The "trickle down" affect never really happened and just started growing corporate profits and more and more wealth going to the richest 1% The Pandemic hit the global economy, and recovery efforts led to inflation, and without corporate regulation, and continued decreases to corporate and upper income tax rates, big corporate profit is at record high levels, and the wealthy are richer than ever, with the biggest economic gap between the lower and middle incomes than ever in history. Trump and right-wing conservative policies continue those trends.

Family is Everything…

Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward

**** *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 October 20th,
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.

Daily Scripture:** Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. - Psalm 150:6
Daily Quote: I think the Latter-day Saints have a great obligation pressing in upon them to rejoice in the Lord, to praise him for his goodness and grace, to ponder his eternal truths in their hearts, and to set their hearts on righteousness. - Bruce R. McConkie

* * *

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.
* * *
Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
