A gracious God who has had a plan for each of us even before the first humans received the breath of life. It is because of that knowledge we have of God that we have faith and hope and His assurance that He will always honor His promises.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Because God gave us agency, to choose Him as our Father, and we choose many times not to follow His commandments. Knowing mankind would turn away from Him, God arranged for His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ to come to the earth to pay a debt He didn’t owe, because we had a debt we couldn’t pay. The ultimate gift and sacrifice-the Creator giving His life for His creation. If you don’t think God suffered for you, read Doctrine and Covenants 18; Mosiah 1:97-106; and Luke 22:42-44 as well as the accounts of how Jesus suffered for every one of His creation in each of the four gospels.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">When Jesus began His ministry, as recorded in Matthew 4, He went about preaching the gospel of the Kingdom. After he was resurrected and appeared to his followers, just prior to his ascension into Heaven, he spoke of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God, Acts 1:3. God’s plan for His Kingdom is top priority for Him and must also be for us.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">We must strive with all our being, trusting completely in God to seek first to build up His Kingdom and establish His righteousness. If “our plan,” doesn’t line up with God’s plan He has made it very clear that we will not share with him in His Kingdom. Our lives are recorded in the Book of Life and God will not accept our human alibis, excuses, could have, should have, but didn’t reasoning.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">God has made everything so clear in all His scriptures as to what He expects from each of us</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">We do not want to be a foolish virgin and have Jesus say, “YOU never knew Me.” We all are aware that the enemies of God have done everything they can to turn mankind away from God. This is very evident in the birth of Jesus Christ and His death as most of the world, even in the Center Place, put much attention on the way the world observes these life saving events. God told us in 1909 in DC 128:8 how we are to interact in the world.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">We have all the instructions we need to help bring forth the Kingdom of God on earth, as it is in Heaven. It must be evident in our lives that we are living/doing His will on earth as it is in Heaven. It is His Kingdom, not ours. He has invited us and made the path clear how we can be in His Kingdom. Jesus is among many other descriptions, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE and no man comes to the Father, but by Him.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">May we, individually, take time to be holy, have His Holy Spirit dwell with us, abide in Him always, make sure he is our only delight, stay on the Old, Old Path which is made strangely sweet, by the touch divine of His Blessed feet, and forever proclaim, Oh Lord My God, How Great Thou Art.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white;

font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">My mother, Verna Jean Bradford Cederstrom, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 19. For the last 9 years she has been a resident at the Villages of Jackson Creek. She had just turn 94 on March 3.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Mother was born on March 3, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois. She was abandoned by her father at birth and was raised by her mother, my grandmother, Olga, in Springfield, Missouri. Early in her life mother showed a well developed talent for art. During church she would sketch the pulpit and rostrum on the back of the church bulletin. Later, her drawings would illustrate both her high school and college yearbooks. She graduated from Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State) with a degree in Sociology. She dreamed of becoming a social worker and working with the United Nations. After attending college in Springfield she moved to Kansas City, Missouri to pursue her master's degree at Kansas University.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">It was there that she met a young Navy officer on a blind date. Just 4 months later she married Carl D. Cederstrom. Verna and Carl raised two sons, me and my brother, Thoric. In 1964, they would adopt two more children, Leif and Sven.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Mother was prolific artist. There was not hardly any art medium in which she didn't pursue. She sketched in pencil, charcoal, pens, crayons, and pastel chalks. She painted in oils, acrylics and water colors. She sculpted with clay and even carved wood. Her favorite medium was painting porcelain china and dolls. She shared that passion with many close friends and colleagues. She would sign her works - Verna J Bradford.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Verna was equally passionate about being a life long member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Baptized at the age of 8 at the Springfield, Mo. Branch, she held membership at several branches and congregations of the RLDS Church: Second Church, Binghamton, NY, Stewartsville, Blue Springs, Parkview, Blue Springs Restoration Branch, South Crysler Restoration Branch. Living Hope Restoration Branch was Verna's last Branch membership. In high school, she taught the junior high Sunday school class and the junior high class at Second Church where she influenced many lives. Verna enjoyed decades of teaching classes at many church youth camps and church family reunions. Central to what she taught was the church's visio of the Kingdom of God on earth, Zion. She continued as a faithful member even up to her later years where she served as a manager of the Sunday School resource room at the South Crysler Restoration Branch.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">There are many more things that I could write about my mother. She loved gardening, both flowers and vegetables. Her passion for the arts, gardening and our church continues to have place in my heart, and always a part of my life. It was not only an honor to have her as a mother, but as a friend and life-long servant in the Lord's vineyard. Her love and her passion will forever abide in our home.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv5297925400full yiv5297925400text yiv5297925400table-3 yiv5297925400last" id="yiv5297925400" style="background-color: white;

Then for 25 years she was employed as a garment worker, during which time she also served as a prototype model for sizing new designs. Before retiring at age 61, she performed accounting/clerical /retail sales duties at Knoepker’s; a local garment retailer. However, the job she valued most was the role of Mom. She always raised her family with love, support and kindness. If any work or home task was unknown to her, she always met that challenge while remaining humble. Her favorite pastimes were sewing, embroidery, crafts, and word-search puzzles. Dorothy was a wonderful mother, grandmother, friend and more; she will be deeply missed.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Dorothy is survived by her children, Kathleen M Corbett, James A Beem, Jr., Colleen F Fairbanks, 15 grandchildren, 26great grandchildren, 10 great-great grandchildren, extended family and many dear friends.

We must continue under God’s guidance and direction.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">It truly appears that around the world Godly people are desiring to be associated and gathered together in love, fellowship and work. Because of those desires, it appears that Christ’s people around the world will be blessed to be in God’s kingdom on the earth if they and we seek it with all of our hearts. Even locally, individuals and groups are sincerely meeting together with that intent. Breakthroughs are happening. People are taking responsibility for their attitudes, concepts and prejudices—turning them over to Jesus—in the desire for oneness and accord under Him. We fervently hope and pray for ourselves and others that this sacrifice of self and desire for oneness in Christ is authentic. There is much mental, spiritual and physical work to do, but what could be more joyous and rewarding?! Zion, Christ’s kingdom on the earth is the only hope and solution for the growing danger and treachery on the land. We must continue to work and pray for all prejudice and contention among ourselves and others to be swept away and replaced with love and truth.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Remember that the work of the Kingdom is a full-time endeavor with full-time planning and engagement in its accomplishment for it to be an actuality.

font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Dale Edward Carrick, born on February 8, 1930, peacefully departed this world on November 15, 2023, at the age of 93. Born to Bert and Vera Carrick in Pine River Township, Michigan, Dale's legacy is one of unwavering commitment, kindness, and a profound dedication to his faith.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Dale's journey included a remarkable seventy-three-year marriage to Priscilla (Pat) Markham, and together they raised their nine children in Vestaburg, Michigan, and later in Independence, Missouri. His tireless work ethic was evident throughout his life, from teaching in a one-room schoolhouse in the 1940’s, to his role in accounting at the General Electric and Hitachi Magnetics plant in Edmore, Michigan.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Moving to Independence in 1977, Dale embraced a new chapter as a general contractor until his retirement. Yet, his true passion lay in church ministry from serving as a Pastor to various leadership roles, including District President of the South-Central Michigan District of the RLDS Church. Dale's impact extended to the Montcalm County Michigan Mental Health Board as Chairman and the Vestaburg Community Schools Board of Education as Secretary/Treasurer. Dale also served in a multitude of leadership and ministerial positions in the Independence area.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Dale's missionary spirit took him across the globe, from Europe to Africa, embodying his commitment to spreading the message of Jesus Christ. Dale most recently attended the restoration group, Church of Jesus Christ-Children of God. Known for his warmth and approachability, Dale never met a stranger, always ready to share his personal testimony. His love for poetry and songwriting added a creative dimension to his life.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Dale is preceded in death by his wife, Priscilla (Pat), parents, Bert and Vera Carrick, his sisters, Ida Sandusky and Ellen Markham, and brother, Bert Carrick, Jr., brother-in-law Waldo Markham (Ellen), brother-in-law Wayne Woodrow (Nina), sister-in-law, Karen Carrick (Bert, Jr.), son David, daughter-in-law Becky (Mark Carrick), and great-granddaughter Violet. Dale is survived by his brother, Ron Carrick (Louise), sisters, Nina Woodrow, Nancy Fox (Phil), and his loving children, Vicki VanNoy, Susan McConnell (Bob), daughter-in-law Teresa Carrick, Cathy Vreeland (Glenn), Mark Carrick (Beth), Jonathon Carrick, Benjamin Carrick, Sarah Weston Floyd (Louis), and Teresa Commander, thirty-one grandchildren, and thirty-two great-grandchildren. Dale will be missed by his hundreds of close cousins and relatives. His cheerful demeanor, unyielding faith, and uplifting spirit left an indelible mark on his family, friends, and the church community.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">A celebration of Dale's remarkable life will be held at Waldo Avenue Restoration Branch on Saturday, March 30, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., honoring a man who, even on his worst day, radiated joy and left a legacy of love that will endure in the hearts of all who knew him.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv2027642083full yiv2027642083text yiv2027642083table-3 yiv2027642083last" id="yiv2027642083" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; width: 590px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td align="left" id="yiv2027642083" style="outline: none !important; padding: 0px 30px; word-break: normal;"><div class="yiv2027642083module yiv2027642083text" dir="ltr" style="outline: none !important;"><span class="yiv2027642083module-3 yiv2027642083text-container" style="outline: none !important;"><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">To order <a href="https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/4771?id=3424444.14495.1.148f12d2d3d583973325c2707ef21e59" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #3693cc; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">memorial trees</a> in memory of Dale Carrick, please visit our <a href="https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/4771?id=3424444.14496.1.7a854b2fdcb7f6ba957b3a3397efc844" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #3693cc; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">tree store</a>.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table>Restoration News - if you want to add a post - e-mail ems.buckner@gmail.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15253459622791241594noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662952302423106769.post-82437720395213024482024-03-20T15:30:00.000-07:002024-03-20T15:30:26.821-07:00ZIONWORKS NEWS for MARCH 17th, 2024<p> </p><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv8142046299full yiv8142046299text yiv8142046299table-1 yiv8142046299middle" id="yiv8142046299" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; width: 590px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td align="left" id="yiv8142046299" style="outline: none !important; padding: 0px 30px 20px; word-break: normal;"><div class="yiv8142046299module yiv8142046299text" dir="ltr" style="outline: none !important;"><span class="yiv8142046299module-1 yiv8142046299text-container" style="outline: none !important;"><p align="center" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="outline: none !important;">ZIONWORKS NEWS for MARCH 17th, 2024</strong></p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">A FEW SHORT NOTES</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">There are some serious attempts among groups and individuals both locally and in many locales “abroad” to forfeit their perceived differences and work and worship together in harmony. What a breakthrough! God will guide them, bless their efforts and continue to open up highways to his Kingdom on the earth as long as humility, obedience and dedication are practiced.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Zionworks’ dream and commitment is to humbly, yet energetically, augment this Spiritual movement among Christ’s followers by promoting a means for this gathering to have physical reality. All of Christ’s people have talents, resources and needs that must be coordinated. Getting safely out of Babylon will require this community to have its own source of water, food, shelter, communication, education, power, commerce, etc. This is a big job, but God already has a plan and has already prepared the way for each of us to find fulfillment in making his plan reality. Please investigate this eternal Plan in the scriptures and please join in this vital effort if you can.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv8142046299full yiv8142046299text yiv8142046299table-2 yiv8142046299middle" id="yiv8142046299" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; width: 590px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td align="left" id="yiv8142046299" style="outline: none !important; padding: 0px 30px 20px; word-break: normal;"><div class="yiv8142046299module yiv8142046299text" dir="ltr" style="outline: none !important;"><span class="yiv8142046299module-2 yiv8142046299text-container" style="outline: none !important;"><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Many spiritual blessings have attended and reinforced Zionworks’ efforts including the fellowship and healings.

They have been working on it for 4 years to get the fencing, iron gate, and building to the 1st story complete except for the roof. They need to do the decking which will act as the roof for the 1st floor and provide the floor for the 2 nd story. Rest rooms will also be completed so it will be usable for<br style="outline: none !important;" />worship for a new branch at Atan near Lagos. It will also be used for the annual conference and annual retreats such as women’s, youth, and men’s retreats for Nigeria. Nigeria has 13 branches or groups, 36 priesthood, and over 500 members. This facility is in the name of the church, and not any individual.<br style="outline: none !important;" />Land was donated and signed over to the church by a local church member. They are anxiously awaiting this next phase to make it feasible for use. It will require about $20,000.<br style="outline: none !important;" />Click the link below to see the progress.</p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv1047021164full yiv1047021164text yiv1047021164table-2 yiv1047021164middle" id="yiv1047021164" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; width: 590px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td align="left" id="yiv1047021164" style="outline: none !important; padding: 0px 30px 20px; word-break: normal;"><div class="yiv1047021164module yiv1047021164text" dir="ltr" style="outline: none !important;"><span class="yiv1047021164module-2 yiv1047021164text-container" style="outline: none !important;"><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/4771?id=3368777.14243.1.1b91fdadce46f3032aafbd226b6e2e3f" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #3693cc; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/CWF2jk_zhcU</a></p></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="yiv1047021164full yiv1047021164text yiv1047021164table-3 yiv1047021164last" id="yiv1047021164" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; border-style: none; clear: both; color: #1d2228; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; min-width: 100%; outline: none !important; table-layout: fixed; width: 590px;"><tbody style="outline: none !important;"><tr style="outline: none !important;"><td align="left" id="yiv1047021164" style="outline: none !important; padding: 0px 30px; word-break: normal;"><div class="yiv1047021164module yiv1047021164text" dir="ltr" style="outline: none !important;"><span class="yiv1047021164module-3 yiv1047021164text-container" style="outline: none !important;"><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Contact Bill Barrett for any further information (816-225-0863).<br style="outline: none !important;" />Donations can be made by check or website as follows:<br style="outline: none !important;" />mail to ARM treasurer Shaun Turner, 3519 S Crysler Ave. Independence, Mo. 64055.

The island of Mindanao has had unusually high amounts of rain this season causing a great deal of flooding in the lowlands and landslides in higher areas. Over 40 farms were an 100% loss due to flooding and landslides. Another 12 farms had about 50% losses. Their farms are not only a source of income, but also a source of food for their families. Money for replanting and fertilizer, as well as living expenses will be needed until their first crop harvest.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Four homes were also a total loss, with many other houses needing repairs in three different villages: Kamaka, Nasarayan, and Masalagpok.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Brother Dan Brotherton and Brother Frank VanFleet, from the AAIM Board, will be traveling back to the Philippines in late March or early April to deliver the assistance funds to our members that have suffered such tragic loss. If you would like to contribute to the assistance in the Philippines, that would be a tremendous blessing to the Saints there. There is a confidential donor that is willing to match any contributions made, thereby doubling your efforts. In addition, all donations will be tax deductible.</p><p align="left" style="color: black; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">If you would like to donate by check, please make it out to AAIM and write disaster relief in the notes, and give your check to Deanne Murnieks who is the AAIM Board Secretary.

If you would like to contribute electronically, you can send it to Deanne’s Venmo: @Deanne-Murnieks, with the note: AAIM disaster relief, and it will be transferred to the AAIM account for you.

We continue those greetings with words from Hebrews 1 and 2.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">1:1 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds, 1:3 Who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">2:1 Therefore, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, 2:3 How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him, 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs, and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.”</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">This is further indication that God has spoken, does speak and will continue to speak to those who are willing to listen. As we all know, very well, the reputation of the Israelites, Jaredites, Nephites, Lamanites and Latter Day Saintites has been to basically to hear the word of God and not respond, except as and when we want to or have great needs. What kind of “Kingdom builders” does that make us? Is there evidence that we are “Building up the Kingdom and establishing His righteousness?”</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The real essence of idolatry comes in calling a bad thing good and a good thing bad. Before long it becomes impossible to discriminate between values. This was taken from a 1988 Daily Bread.<br style="outline: none !important;" />What would that author say today? If there is no “right and wrong,” there is no morality and God is removed from the center of the universe. Is God removed from the public all over the world?</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">We know that in all things, God reigns Supreme. There is a standard by which all truth is determined: JESUS CHRIST. He told us to “Seek first to build up His Kingdom and to establish His righteousness.”<br style="outline: none !important;" />That is still, our task, even in today’s world. As the hymn states, “Let us walk, live, and function IN THE LIGHT OF GOD.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">God Bless<br style="outline: none !important;" />Paul Gage</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">GOD IS MARSHALING HIS ARMY</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">How does God marshal His army? Probably according to our response to His commandments.<br style="outline: none !important;" />A non-chalant casual, not very diligent soldier would not be of much, if any value to the over-all purpose of an army. Remember Gideon’s army started with 32, 000, then went to 10, 000 and finally 300 and then went into battle with no real physical weapons. Pitchers, candles, trumpets and strong voices. Not one of Gideon’s soldiers were lost or even injured, because the enemy ran away. That proved that it was God’s army, God’s battle and God’s victory.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">AUSTRALIAN 2024 Reunion"Living the Kingdom Way" Dates 29 March - 1 April 2024<br style="outline: none !important;" />Castlereagh Conference Centre 297 - 305 Old Castlereagh Road<br style="outline: none !important;" />Castlereagh NSW 2749</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Greetings to the Saints around the world.<br style="outline: none !important;" />I am doing good.<br style="outline: none !important;" />So are the Saints here in the northern island of Luzon the Philippines.</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">Take care always<br style="outline: none !important;" />Elder Julius Candido</p><p align="left" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; outline: none !important; padding: 0px; unicode-bidi: embed; vertical-align: baseline;">The CRE “Member’s Forum” on Saturday 9, 2024 was a good event.
