Prioritized Daily Task  I called Debbie about 10:30 AM and she was at her mother's cleaning.  

There is a lot of chaos in the world today with the coronavirus and political upheaval I thought how much things change and yet they seem to remain the same.  We need to listen and head the words of living prophets  

I reread these reassuring words of Harold B. Lee (1899-1973; 11th President & Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) on the future of the United States of America.

"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the worlds. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.

I ordered some medicine for Debbie and me in case we start getting symptoms of the coronavirus.
