April 9, 2012


Howdy Y'all.

What a wonderful weekend!  Easter is always a great time to reflect on the atonement of Jesus Christ.  It is such a miracle that our savior suffered for our sins, he paid the price, and because of him we can be saved!  I truly have a testimony of the atonement, not only of the power to be forgiven but the physical effects of our sins, atonement.  Some days I get tired, sore, grumpy, etc. but as I pray to the Lord for strength he gives me the energy I need to devote myself to him.  He broke the bands of death that we all may live again.  He is our Lord and our Savior.  His atonement is infinite; it has no limitations, no end.  I am grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who has given us this time on earth to gain a body and learn and grow, and for the gift of his only begotten son. 

One quick miracle, Saturday night we were fixin' to lie down to bed, and we got a text from an unknown number.  It was someone named Randy Martin asking what time church started.  He is a less-active member and decided that he wanted to come to church and bring his nonmember fiancée.  Her name is ShaMonica.  I am grateful that when we are obedient the Lord adds people to our teaching pool. 

Looking forward to a great week!
