Mosiah 22


 And now O king, if thou hast not found me to be an unprofitable servant, or if thou hast hitherto listened to my words in any degree, and they have been of service to thee, even so I desire that thou wouldst listen to my words at this time, and I will be thy servant and deliver this people out of bondage.
Double negative there to start. "If thou hast not found me to be an unprofitable servant." Confusing, annoying. 

Look Up - Elder Adrian Ochoa
Elder Dallin H. Oaks said: “We need to make both temporal and spiritual preparation. … And the preparation most likely to be neglected is the one less visible and more difficult—the spiritual” (“Preparation for the Second Coming,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2004, 9). In other words, don’t neglect to look up.
This is why it is absolutely critical that you remain constantly worthy of the Spirit. The companionship of the Holy Ghost is not just a pleasant convenience—it is essential to your spiritual survival. If you will not treasure up the words of Christ and listen closely to the promptings of the Spirit, you will be deceived (see Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:37). We must do these things.
To them I quote the words of Alma to Korihor, who was trying to persuade others not to believe: “Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee” (Alma 30:44).

I can't believe my vacation week is about done. I need to study more for my real estate test. I found a couch in good condition I bought for $30 yesterday from DI. My home teacher Jeff and his brother brought it to me at my apartment. I thought something might be wrong with my car too. Jeff has this computerized thing you hook up to your car to decipher codes. The abs light kept appearing than disappearing. Jeff's dad said since this coincided with the weather it may be ice that got to sensors. I put oil in my car yesterday and then I also bought brake fluid thinking it might be that. I called George to tell him what I was about to do and to see if he could tell me where to put it.

He just laughed at me but he said we rarely need to change our brake fluid. My blood sugar monitor had me all confused this morning. She did it so fast I didn't really know what to do. I can't believe I'm going to have to do this for at least the next 3 months. That is 12 weeks and how long body builders usually train and prepare for competition. I'm eating some of my many bags of chicken nuggets. I'm glad I have all this protein and that I finished most of the sweet stuff I shouldn't be eating at all. I'm not eating anything sweet OR anything made with white flour again until this number decreases. Diabetes is a serious health problem and can be fatal if not attended to asap. I wish I had checked this out as soon as I got insurance 3 years ago BUUUT I'm grateful I found out when I did. George had to have surgery on one of his eyes because the blood vessels reacted negatively. I like my physician. He is awesome.
