FOR TODAY, September 08, 2020
Outside my window ...
The sun is coming up. The shortening of the days has become really noticeable now. I am getting up and going to bed in the dark. It seems to have happened overnight. What's up with that?
I am thinking ...
Blogger seems to have automatically gone to the new blogger. I am a person who hates change. I hope I am able to cope with this one. We shall see how it goes!
I am thankful for ...
The love and support of family and friends and my faith. Sometimes life is just so hard. I don't know where I would be without it.
In the kitchen ...
Nephi, that great hero of the Book of Mormon, is often viewed as a
pinnacle of devotion: steadfastly faithful, profoundly spiritual, and
unwaveringly obedient. But the beautiful passage of scripture often
referred to as Nephi’s Psalm reveals that, like all of us, Nephi faced
his own inner struggles in this mortal existence. His heartfelt
introspection demonstrates that amid the trials of life, discouragement
can burden us all—but it can also be overcome.
In My God Hath Been My Support: Seven Keys to Understanding and Enduring
Personal Trials, author David T. Morgan looks to the words of Nephi’s
Psalm to offer an inspiring message of hope and a loving call to action.
Featuring tools and ideas on how to overcome adversity, increase
feelings of self-worth, and endure the ups and downs of mortality, this
scripture-based roadmap to a more fulfilling life is a joyous invitation
to learn from Nephi how to transform sorrow into joy.
The author has a lot of wisdom in dealing with personal challenges. His
insights come from both his professional and gospel experiences in life.
I appreciate the usage of the "Psalm of Nephi" from the Book of Mormon.
Nephi is probably my favorite prophet and his example in overcoming
challenges and remaining Christlike is unsurpassed. Morgan hones in on
this and gives several reasons why Nephi's example should be followed. I
appreciated the personal stories and the C.S. Lewis references as well
as the self-examination questions at the end of each chapter.
Dreaming About ...
The Seven Sisters cliffs and coastguard cottages from Seaford Head; showing Cuckmere Haven (looking East). Cuckmere Haven is an area of flood plains in Sussex, England where the river Cuckmere meets the English Channel- between Eastbourne and Seaford.
The area is a popular tourist destination with walkers, and for the water activities on the river. The area welcomes an estimated 350,000 visitors per year. The beach at Cuckmere Haven is next to the famous chalk cliffs, the Seven Sisters.
The beach was used for the opening scene in Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood: ‘Prince of Thieves’ and featured in the film 'Atonement’ (2007).
