Yea, and the herb, and the good things which come of the earth, whether for food or for raiment, or for houses, or for barns, or for orchards, or for gardens, or for vineyards;

18 Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season thereof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart;

19 Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul.

20 And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion.

Doctrine & Covenants. 59:17 - 20.

Photo Essay: Morning Thoughts. Vol. 2

A bowl of cold cereal

on a morning like this

is wrong.

The moon 

is not much

of a fighter.

The dawn

spoils my resolve

to be practical.

Marvelous Works

Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, yea, a marvelous work and a wonder, for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.
2 Nephi 27:26

Governments may totter

and the world may come apart,

but saints today will brave it

with a stout and faithful heart.

We know that God his marvels works

amidst the din and dark;

the prudent and the wise may fear --

the faithful have a spark

that comes from faith in Jesus Christ

and his eternal love

for mankind's reformation

either here, or up above!

Photo Essay: Fresh Market. December 20, 2019. Provo, Utah.

I went shopping this morning at Fresh Market, which is just a block from my apartment building. I spent $46.01, and paid an additional $1.05 state sales tax. The most expensive item I bought was a book of USPS stamps, which cost $11.00. The cheapest thing I bought was 2 bananas for 37 cents. If I stopped mailing letters and ate more bananas I would save a significant amount of money.

No hinder to prosperity

And now there was nothing in all the land to hinder the people from prospering continually, except they should fall into transgression.
3 Nephi 6:5

Our land is full and rich and crowned

by God himself as holy ground.

And we shall prosper here, provided

we by sin are not divided.

As citizens we're called to fight

by ever choosing what is right.

Keep transgression far from me,

and keep me in thy luxury!
