Looking For A Seamstress |
Can anyone recommend a seamstress that can make drapes or curtains? I’ve tried more than five or six people, and haven’t been able to find one. The curtains are extra-long, about 110” finished. I hoped to have them done by Christmas. Call (816.838.5191) or email me at sksmith2@gmail.com for more details. Thank you. Sherrie Smith |
LIVING IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD NOVEMBER 2, 2023
God's best blessings to His faithful Saints,
We are all aware that God created man spiritually before he was
created physically. Doctrine and Covenants 85: 4 a,b tells that the body
and the spirit equal the soul. So, do the things we do, say and think have any
effect on our soul?
Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that
carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body (arteries)
become thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to the organs and
tissues. Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic. But over time, the walls in
the arteries can harden, a condition commonly called hardening of the
arteries.
Atherosclerosis, a specific type of
arteriosclerosis, is the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in
and on the artery walls. This buildup is called plaque. The plaque can cause
arteries to narrow, blocking blood flow. The plaque can also burst, leading to
a blood clot. Atherosclerosis can affect arteries anywhere in the body but can
be treated. Healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent it. Arteriosclerosis
is the physical hardening of the blood vessels
in the body.
Can there be such a thing as hardening of the
arteries of the spirit?
From the beginning of mankind people have rebelled against God and
His commandments and in that process have "hardened their hearts,"
“stiffened their necks’, and however else you may want to describe
it toward God by intentionally disobeying His commandments. It started
with Adam and Eve and continues through today with you and me
The following references will point out wherein we do this.
Genesis 2:19-22 Genesis 3:29-31; Hebrews 3:7-19; Hebrews 4:7; Jacob 4; Enos
1:15-39; DC 45:1,2 DC 64:5a,b. This is critical for us every day of our
lives and especially as we approach another Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Are
you angry, envious, jealous, carrying a grudge, planning vengeance, going to
court, talking about others in gossip, etc.? Can you really say or feel that
you are “Living in the Kingdom of God” if you carry such feelings?
Take a personal look at Galatians 5. It tells us the works of
the flesh (body) and works of the Spirit. What kind of plaque do we build up in
our spirit? We might use this for a check list every day and especially before
Sacrament. Hard hearts, stiff necks, deaf ears, etc. can be prevented and cured
if we consult the Great Physician and follow His counsel.
A recurring scripture this year and strongly emphasized by
Marlin Guin in his sermon October 29, 2023 at Waldo Avenue RB has been Luke
1:17. The ministry of John the Baptist was “To make ready a people prepared for
the Lord.” God has given us the privilege of choosing for ourselves. He
can only do so much, the priesthood can only do so much. The major choice is
ours to make. We must prepare ourselves for the Lord, not only to meet Him, but
for Him to use in His Kingdom.
God Bless,
Paul Gage

Go to NEWBOOKMAN.BLOGSPOT.COM to see prices and previews of these and more than 50 other new books in the “RLDS tradition.” Note: When you are on either of my websites, you can click a link and jump to the other website. • A free booklet with each order. The booklet is our newest, and we want you to see it. Restoration Scriptures 101 is a beginning study of God’s Word. It is designed to help everyone become more familiar with the Scriptures. The booklet has four parts—learning what our Scriptures are, learning the order of the books, learning to retell Bible and Book of Mormon stories, and memorizing important verses. You must prove that you can master the challenges. It has three skill levels—and three gold stars to stick on the front of your booklet when you complete all the requirements for the skill levels. When I was working on this booklet, my wife Dee asked, “Who would ever use it?” After the booklet was printed, Dee put her name on a copy. Saying the names of Book of Mormon books in order was easy for her. I initialed and dated that the challenge was done. Then she began reciting verses to me, with their references. She clicked off several more challenges. If she missed a word, she came back and said the verse correctly the next day. I decided I had better get busy and get some initials and dates in my own copy of the booklet! Who would use it? Who indeed? We suggest that each person in a family has his own copy of Restoration Scriptures 101 and learn along with others in the family. We printed them in several colors to help people easily identify their own copies. We are sending you a free copy when you order books (one to a customer, please) and hope that you will use it, order more copies, and show it to friends, etc. Additional copies of Restoration Scriptures 101 are only $3.50 each. We offer a 10% discount if you purchase 10 books and a 20% discount if you purchase 20 books at the regular price. |

HELP RESTORATION BOOKSTORE CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL!
In these perilous times, the Restoration Bookstore is still striving to promote the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is as a beam of light in a dark world, and we need your help to keep that light on. We just made a large down-payment to reprint the deluxe edition of the Book of Mormon, and, unfortunately, we are also facing a large end-of-year tax payment. As a result, our operating funds for day-to-day expenses are very low.
We realize that, due to extra expenditures during the holiday season, the ability to donate can be difficult at this time of year, but we would appreciate any support you can give us. If you wish to contribute, please click the link below to make a donation to help us continue to spread the Gospel. Remember, Price Publishing Company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so over half of our income must come from contributions. All donations are tax-deductible. Thank you for your help to “keep the light on!”
