Sunday and still in Logan

Posted by 2DI4 at 10:01 AM

I decided to attend sacrament meeting AND pay my tithing before I leave on my long drive to Salt Lake City. I kept thinking it would be too late BUT I'm just going to leave after sacrament meeting. My laundry is DONE!!! The only clothes that will be dirty will be the ones I change out of before I take my shower this morning. I have some dishes to wash but not very much AND I need to scrub my toilet downstairs and clean the bathroom downstairs. I'm done with upstairs. Everything upstairs is spotless.

I'm going to pack a bunch of shorts and tops for this trip. I should come back Thursday morning for my orthodontist appointment. I don't think this'll be my last retainer. I don't think he's going to be happy. It doesn't feel as tight as it should be on my left front tooth. This is where he took most of the bonding off and I think it's where the problem lies. He is the expert however so I'll let him determine that although I am going to offer my two cents.

I hate being without the internet at my mother's house. I always have to drive to the library parking lot if I need to do something. My angel food cake, strawberries, cool whip and chocolate syrup were just alright. I feel like I should've bought ice-cream and nuts. I made fried rice with the left-over deli ham and eggs. I put too much shoyu. I need to fry a couple eggs and stick it over the rice to cut that salty flavor down.

Dishes and go through the bunch of papers on my counter. Sweep my kitchen floor and take out the trash. I'm almost there. I HAAATE coming home to a dirty house which is why the cleaning spree.

3 Nephi 8

20 And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who had not fallen could afeel the bvapor of darkness;
 21 And there could be no light, because of the darkness, neither candles, neither torches; neither could there be fire kindled with their fine and exceedingly dry wood, so that there could not be any light at all;
Darkness for 3 days. A darkness so ominous you can feel it. How awful but also how symbolic. The destruction is described so vividly in these chapters. We all know that Christ will come, the light of the world. Appropriate. Just keeping clean would be difficult. Gross. 3 days of darkness, no showers. Everything in shambles. Disgusting conditions. 
This is My Work and My Glory - Russel M. Ballard
The power of the priesthood is a sacred and essential gift of God. It is different from priesthood authority, which is the authorization to act in God’s name. The authorization or ordination is given by the laying on of hands. The power of the priesthood comes only when those who exercise it are worthy and acting in accordance with God’s will.
Brothers and sisters, as the literal spirit children of our loving Heavenly Father, we have unlimited, divine potential. But if we are not careful, we can become like the wilted tomato plant. We can drift away from the true doctrine and gospel of Christ and become spiritually undernourished and wilted, having removed ourselves from the divine light and living waters of the Savior’s eternal love and priesthood power.

 I love and respect the priesthood very much. I am so grateful my father held the priesthood and could give me blessings when I was sick or when I left on my mission, to school away from home. I was so blessed and continue to be blessed. I am grateful that my brother continues to bless my life with his example and priesthood strength. I love my nieces and nephews very much. They are joy and it is so easy for me to get why only in eternal families and through eternal marriage can the greatest joy be experienced. I'm grateful I will be able to spend time with my mother today and tomorrow on her birthday. I am excited to see my niece graduate from high school. The babies are definitely the most fun. I love my family and I'm so grateful to have them for eternity. I can't wait to form my own family too.
