2022 CE/AD CONT'D
11/26-- SABBATH
Steve Logan will be in rehabilitation for about three weeks starting earlier this week.
The real ItsAPrimate informed me the Playstation 5 giveaway was a scambot.
I joined ItsAPrimate's discord server Primate's Jungle yesterday.
Today I slept all day until 6:20 PM about, then talked in General Jungle chat a little.
I also cleaned the catbox out today. It really needed it bad.
It's raining tonight.

11/27-- LORD'S DAY
'Praise to the Lord the Almighty the King of Creation' is being played on Violin by two guests from another Branch. It is beautiful. Paul Ludy and our class he led talked about God's plan for immigration in a chapter about the Land of Promise (America) and its Abundant Resources.
Brother Clayton is our guest.
Alma 14 The Sons of Mosiah
"This is my life and my light, my joy and Thanksgiving." "My joy and my great Thanksgiving."
"Ye will teach your children to love and serve one another."
RDC 46:9B You must give thanks unto God in the Spirit for whatsoever blessings you receive.
The children of the guest sang a beautiful song to the tune of 'We Limit Not The Truth of God' and 'When Holy Ghost Shall Come in Power'.
The Guest Minister is speaking.
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God concerning you- Paul the Apostle.
We ought not to take the necessities of life for granted. We ought always to assemble ourselves together and be mindful of our blessings.
Thank you, God, that we have much in abundance of food to choose from when we go to the grocery store. Amen. How many of us ask for our Daily Bread each morning (because we don't know where our next meal is coming from)? Probably none of us. We need to cultivate a spirit of Thanksgiving.
I just pondered and counted my blessings. I have more than a lot of people can say they have. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, God for my Blessings!
If we count our blessings Daily, our spirits will always remain strong- Zig Zieglar.
I considered, and pondered more blessings, Thank You, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord for my blessings! Amen!
The eagles gather to the carcass. (-the Church in Apostasy.-) where the Saints are gathered.
We need to keep the (Saturday) Sabbath holy and keep (Sunday) the Lord's Day.
What we do on Sabbath and Lord's Day matters to God. Walter Weldon was given a message to the Saints in the 1990's to keep the Sabbath Holy.
Football can be an idol. TV itself can be an idol on Sabbath and Lord's Day.
(What about video games. It's a greasy and smooth trap to slide into. O Forgive me Lord! I was playing a video game in Church today! Forgive me. Amen.)
The Ministry of Presence can go a long way. (Just showing up for Church, and being in the presence of the Saints).
A Thankful Saint will keep the Sabbath (and Lord's Day) Holy.
This is our time to study.
It's the goodness of God that leadeth to Repentance.
With our spirit of Thanksgiving, We are going to be in time period that will be a time of great want, when our times of prosperity will dry up. This nation will be humbled because of its sins.
We are beginning to turn away from the commandments of God.
Q. 4 Endowment
Must the people and ministry of the Church pass through a great trial or calamity or judgment?
A: Yes. Men think they have arranged ways that shall guarantee their security regardless of their worthiness in the sight of the Lord. Those ways will fail. Men think now they are so wise there will be no more panics or depressions or times of mass unemployment or great want. In this they know not the future. The present abundant streams of prosperity shall dry up- Conditions shall change, for like the backwards swing of a giant pendulum, it shall swing farther back than ever before.... Power now in the hands of man to destroy cities will be used. Cities and strongholds will be thrown down, even as shown to the prophets of Ancient America. By all these things shall the heart of the world be humbled and the hearts of the people of the church as well. By these things shall you understand that it is only as you lean very heavily on the arm of the Lord's power that His great work can be done. Always there has been a great trial before a spiritual blessing. And thus must it be now- Men in general must learn obedience by what they suffer.
Book of Mormon prophets concur.
Ward Hougas
God will gather the righteous from all over the world.
Jesus died for the sins of the world. We have been warned and forewarned to prepare ourself.
When the enemy is upon us it's too late. Those who think they are going to be Raptured..our preparation is for them too.
It is always darkest just before Dawn. Our foundation must be sure. It cannot be shaken.
Our foundation has to be upon the teachings of God and His Son.
If we are Obedient he will help us through.
(We need to trust Him).
We have an opportunity to dwell in the gates of the Holy City if we want to. We need to prepare now.
If we are slow to hearken unto the counsel of the Lord he will be slow to hear our cries. Keep God's commandments. We live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
What do we do with God's Love? We serve. Zionic people are thankful people. (Let us) rise up and hunger and thirst after righteousness for the sake of God.
* * * Thoughts to ponder:
*Unless the Holy Spirit fills, the human spirit fails.
*Reflect on your present blessings--not on your past misfortunes.
*Spiritual investments reap eternal dividends.
*What you do in secret reveals the content of your character. *Wisdom isn't the acquisition of knowledge; it is knowing which knowledge is worth acquiring.
*He who has God has everything. He who does not have Him has less than nothing.
*God loves a cheerful giver-until he brags about what he has given.
*A genuine faith sings songs in the darkest night.
It was a good sermon; but the RLDS Church is in Apostasy, and without the Message of the Sealed Book of Mormon and the Priesthood Authority of the Restructured Church, we cannot have Zion, for the SBOM tells us exactly how in Acts of the 3 Nephites.. And the Sealed Book of Mormon tells us other vital things.
We need to stop talking about building up the Kingdom and start building it up.
