John 21
After His resurrection, Jesus showed himself again to some of his Apostles, as they were fishing. At first they did not recognize Jesus. When he told them to fish on the other side of the boat and the nets came up heavily laden, they knew it was He. Jesus asked Peter and the other Apostles feed His sheep. We can feed His sheep temporally and physically through service and missionary work.
John was commanded to write down some of the things that the resurrected Jesus said and did. "...that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." Every time I study scriptural accounts of Jesus’ Resurrection, my faith increases. I know that Jesus lives without a shadow of a doubt. I know he atoned for my sins and overcame death that I might dwell with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ once again and that I will be resurrected with a perfected, immortal, tangible body. I know my little Katie, my beloved grandma, and other loved ones are waiting there to be reunited with me. I know that through my faithfulness and repentance, I can be forgiven of my sins. I know that by adopting the character of Christ I can be happy in this life and ready to sit by His side in the next.

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
