Jesus showed us

Luke 19:1-10

Zacharias was a rich publican, a tax collector for the Roman government and hated by the Jews as traitors. While so many spurned Jesus and wished him ill, Zacharias wanted to be near Him so much he climbed a tree. Seeing him in the tree, Jesus bade him come down and show hospitality. Joyfully, Zacharias obeyed and received Jesus into his home.

Do I receive Jesus joyfully? Do I fellowship those not living the gospel as they should? Do I judge and shun those I think are not living the gospel? Jesus showed us that this is wrong behavior.

"There are those who wake up every morning dreading to go to school, or even to a Church activity, because they worry about how they will be treated. You have the power to change their lives for the better...The Lord is counting on you to be a builder and give them a lift. Think less of yourself and more about the power you have to assist others, even those within your own family." Joseph Christensen, Ensign, November 1996, 39

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 No negative comments will not be published.
