Paul's missions were full of great teaching, including his farewell address in Ephesus. Paul emphasized watching our for “grievous wolves” or enemies of the Church from without and within the church. Within apostates would try to lead other members away. To guard against apostasy in our lives we should remember the big two: pray and read the scriptures. Then we should live the commandments.
To help protect Church members from those who would try to lead them away from the Church, leaders and members should feed Jesus' sheep by teaching from the scriptures and fellowshipping each other.
In this day of the doctrine of me, it is well to remember, “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Everyone needs to feel loved and useful. Giving all we have and all we are, we find so much more than ourselves. We find true love, peace, and joy.

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 No negative comments will not be published.
