   Wednesday....
I testify that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior, the Messiah, the Redeemer of the world.

This is all true. Have faith. Love.

1 Nephi 20:17
17 And thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I have sent him, the Lord thy God who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way thou shouldst go, hath done it.

2 Nephi 2:26
And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.

Hi, peeps! Well, Mom took Blue to the vet's today. Mudpie and I went with them. Blue has a sore on his hind paw that got infected. Thankfully, that seems to be all it is. Either way, we'll get through this. But it's not bothering him--again, thankfully.

*He was a wuss about it.*

Well, I don't like doctors' visits either. But the vet is nice, and you can't explain to a dog the same way as a human. Though you can make the vet's office a not scarey place to be. ^.^

*Yep. And he's fine, now.*

I haven't been feeling so well a couple times.

*That's because you don't eat well.*

^/^ So true. Uh-oh. Do you think Sano thinks I look fat? o.o

-o.O Um...-

*Don't worry. Sano likes you for your mind, not your looks. That's a good thing. Well, except in this case...you're not exactly all there....*

Hey!

*Just joking. ^^; Really.*

-Pocket hugs to all, and have a good day.-

Bye-bye, and love! ^_^

"While the Book of Mormon speaks with power to the issues that affect our modern society, the great and stirring burden of its message is a testimony, vibrant and true, that Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messiah."

Scripture of the day

Mormon 8

35 Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing.

37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.

38 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?

39 Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?

40 Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?

--I must say, I am guilty of pride and lack of charity. But I can change! We all can. :-) That's the beauty of God's having us come here. Love and praise and thanks to God, our Father in Heaven, and Jesus Christ, our Brother.--

Fact of the day:
Basically, Arabian horses have or should have black skin, no matter what color their hair. Black skin protects them from the sun.

2 Nephi 2:24-30
But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.
Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.
And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.
And now, my sons, I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;
And not choose eternal death, according to the will of the flesh and the evil which is therein, which giveth the spirit of the devil power to captivate, to bring you down to hell, that he may reign over you in his own kingdom.
I have spoken these few words unto you all, my sons, in the last days of my probation; and I have chosen the good part, according to the words of the prophet. And I have none other object save it be the everlasting welfare of your souls. Amen.

LOVE to everyone! ^_^ (L and hugs)
