Prioritized Daily Tasks

Check and see if David Shelton, 770-748-1617, received the email I sent about adding Lynn on gravemarker as Beth's middle name.  I talked to him and Michell, his wife, they received my email and confirmed Beth's middle name, Lynn, will be added.  Also he sealed a vase with flowers on Dad and Mom's grave marker at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery.  David sent me a picture.

Call Dan Guinn, and meet at 1 PM at Cason Road - rent for August.

3 PM - Celebrate Andy Morris's 67th birthday - take him to lunch at Texas Roadhouse, 1403 Turner McCall Blvd SE, Rome, GA 30161

Called Bobbie Philips while I was with Andy and Jan but got her answering machine; left her a message that the invitation to the open house for the Rockmart Nursing Home is still there when Covid allows us to have one.

I called Eric Borg, the only son of Robert "Bob" Borg, an old friend of mine.  He and his wife really meant a lot to me as a young convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I got a report of his father and mother's family.  Jill his older sister died about 7 or 8 years ago but her two daughters are doing well.  His oldest sister, Robyn, who is married to John Cotton are serving as humanitarian missionaries in Jordan.

Check with Tracy Dickerson on aerial spraying etc of timber at Pleasant Hill, in Haralson County.

Had my personal prayer as I do each morning.  Debbie is not up; I am two hours ahead of her.  She called later and we had prayer together.  I listened to some of D&C 88 with Jared Halverson. I ate breakfast and listened to some of D&C 88, Come Follow Me with Jared Halverson.  Max came down and I replayed some of Brother Halverson's presentation about resurrection, judgment, justice, and mercy.  Max and I read the first 10 verses of D&C 45 which gives more detail on the judgment.  I helped him blow off his driveway.  He has two blowers.  The electric one I used has an extension cord, Max's has a battery.  Some notes from Jared Halverson's teaching in Come Follow Me this week from D&C 88.

2 Neph 10: 3 ..................those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify him—for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God.                                                                                     For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations they would repent, and know that he be their God.

Moses 7:36 36 Wherefore, I can stretch forth mine hands and hold all the creations which I have made; and mine eye can pierce them also, and among all the workmanship of mine hands there has not been so great wickedness as among thy brethren.

Moses 1:33-35 And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotton.          34 And the first man of all men have I called Adam, which is many.                           35 But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them.

D&C 88:114-115 And then cometh the battle of the great God; and the devil and his armies shall be cast away into their own place, that they shall not have power over the saints any more at all.                                                                                                       115 For Michael shall fight their battles, and shall overcome him who seeketh  the throne of him who sitteth upon the throne, even the Lamb. 

What irony, that which Satan, Lucifer, the Devil, waged war in heaven and on earth for, and lost all, could have had that which he saught and wanted if he had been willing to do it Heavenly Father's and Christ's way. 

D&C 88:125 And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity, as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace

"Earth's crammed with heaven.  And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes." poem, Aurora Leigh, by Elizasbeth Barrett Browning

Davd Shelton returned my call and email I sent Saturday.  He said he received the correction to what I wanted added, Lynn, as Beth's middle name and would make the correction when he cuts the names and dates on the family grave stone.

I talked to Debbie before she left for Twin Falls and we had prayer together.

I talked to Max and Debbie who are going to their apartmentment across from the Atlanta Temple.  They are working at the Temple tomorrow.
