   Tired tired tired....zzzz....
"May we live worthy of the glorious endowment of light and understanding and eternal truth which has come to us through all the perils of the past. Somehow, among all who have walked the earth, we have been brought forth in this unique and remarkable season. Be grateful, and above all be faithful."
~ "The Dawning of a Brighter Day," Ensign, May 2004, 84

Ezra 1: 1-4
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

Doctrine & Covenants 29: 1-5
Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I Am, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins;
Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.
Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that at this time your sins are forgiven you, therefore ye receive these things; but remember to sin no more, lest perils shall come upon you.
Verily, I say unto you that ye are chosen out of the world to declare my gospel with the sound of rejoicing, as with the voice of a trump.
Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and am your advocate with the Father; and it is his good will to give you the kingdom.
And, as it is written——Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive.

There are a couple friends (Lonestar & her boyfriend, Applebee) I see regularly at Church, Family Home Evening, and Institute. I saw them last night, but they weren't at Institute tonight. As I was lamenting this fact to another friend, I saw Applebee sitting with his laptop. So I squealed his name and ran over to hug him. Poor guy moved his laptop out of the way, and he was berated for his lack of trust in me. Not in those terms...XD Lonestar was there, too, but she was being Visit Taught. Love and hugs.

I'm doing okay today. ^_^ I was tired at work, but that's because I've been staying up too late. But I'm home safely. Thankfully, especially considering how tired I was while driving. ^^;

At least you got the rest of the paycheck, Refi-chan. It happens to all of us. And taxes do help with good things. Thanks for your comment, and your's, Alex. (hug) You're kind. Love!

God our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you. That's why They've provided the truth. Pocket hugs and love to you all.

Fact of the day: Exercising your mind can help it stay strong as you grow.
