Stay on the Covenant Path

"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly...        

On this blog I share with family and friends my thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.

Dedicated to our Posterity of 78: Seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen, their spouses, our 39 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and posterity to come.                  MONDAY, 

SEPTEMBER 7, 2026 

Family is 

Everything... 

At the end of last Sunday's

 post--September 6--

 I added a new word I learned:

 ...the phrase "ontological increase"...

It's just before my testimony starts.

I also added some photos for the PUNN supper and ballgame plus

that last second miracle

Hail Mary touchdown

for Whittingham.

The first Labor Day celebration was September 5, 1882 in New York City.

On that Tuesday, 10,000 citizens marched for labor rights down the streets of Manhattan. During this time the average American worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. It wasn't until the Adamson Act passed on September 3, 1916 that our modern eight-hour work day was established.

Family is 

Everything...

  

          Happy Birthday, 

Jackson "22" 

No celebration today...

Last year's photos - 2025...

 

 

Lunch Bunch was 

at Avenue Bakery...

   11 came...

This gal parked next to us while

she dashed into Avenue Bakery

 

to get something for her son's 

11th birthday.

The cybertruck was parked on a slope which

 made it just enough higher that I couldn't get

up onto the seat to get myself in,

She got something for me to stand 

on and with her help I was

able to get in.

When I thanked her and told

her how kind she was,

she said her Mom had

taught her that was

the nicest compliment

anyone could ever

give her.

At the end of this 

September 13th, 2026

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.

Heavenly Mother...

♪♫♪♪♫ "...Truth is reason;

truth eternal tells me I've a

Mother there..." ♪♫♪♪♫

--Eliza R. Snow

"O, My Father"

President Dallin H.Oaks said...

"For as we have a Father in heaven, so also we have a Mother there, a glorified, exalted, ennobled Mother. That is a startling doctrine, I recognize, to some folk, and yet we ought to be governed by reason in giving consideration to this doctrine which is a revelation from God" (Sermons and Mission Services of Melvin Joseph Ballard, 205).

"For reasons the Lord has not revealed, we do not know much about a Heavenly Mother. But we have been told that the purpose of life on earth is to give us the opportunity to grow toward being like our Heavenly Father. And we know that we are children of Heavenly Parents. So we know that we have a Heavenly Mother or Mothers. But for reasons the Lord has not revealed, we do not know much about our Heavenly Mother. But we know we must have one because both men and women are working for exaltation . . ." - President Oaks

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

“An omnicompetent God leaves all mortals free to choose, but how grateful we should be that God chose long, long ago to rescue and to resurrect all His children through the Atonement of His Son. Nevertheless, some reject and many are indifferent to these and other divine beckonings, mostly because they are too caught up in the cares of the world. They are strangers to the Savior, who is far from the thoughts and intents of their hearts.”

Neal A Maxwell

How Choice a Seer!

                                                                     Revelation 19:16: -- "And he hath on his vesture and on

 his thigh a name written, 

KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS".

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."

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

President Dallin H. Oaks 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.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  Because of the restored Priesthood Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.

Of these truths I testify in the
