 17 May 2024, Friday Priorit ized Daily Task 5:40 pm - Abbey's State Competition Track and Field 4X200 Note:  I have time today while I am at home overcoming a cold that has taken hold in my lungs and head.  I am getting better using a nebulizer, taking vitamin C, and resting.  So I am going to write some thoughts I to my children, grandchildren, and all those who come after me.  I have been studying in the Book of Mosiah and how the Lord from the time of Nephi and before had stirred up the hearts of the people in remembrance of God.  He did this by giving them  Experiences and Explanations, they are two different things.  My children and grandchildren have missed the life-changing experiences I had.

 15 May 2024, Wednesday Priorit ized Daily Task Note:  Question to ask an atheist:  Describe the God you don't believe in.  Chances are it will be a god you and I don't believe in either.  (Asking him to describe a god he does not believe in will cause him to think.  He will have to have heard something about him that he does not like and/or does not approve of.   It will open the door for you to tell him of a God who loves him and is more just and fair than he gives him credit for.   Debbie and I both slept in this morning.  I had prayer.  Jody spent the night with us last night and this morning she and Debbie went for a walk.  Later Debbie went to get her blood drawn for lab work on her lymph nodes.  Jody and I had breakfast and listened to Unshaken, Come Follow Me with Jared Halverson's podcast.  Samantha has an infection and the doctors cannot take out her large gallstones until they get the infection down.  I answered  Royal Caribbean survey about the cruise we just to
