My mom was here the last few days.  Mainly she spent time with my other brothers, but we had her over at our house for a few hours yesterday.  It was very nice to have her out and to help Carolyn finish some curtains for the kid's room.  I would say that that is God's hand in the life of our family, watching out for us and meeting our needs.

I think that I need to work harder to serve others so that God may use me and I will be closer to God as he works with me.

Assignment

Continue to look for God's hand in your life and record those.  Also read Alma 32, look for the atonement and what it is.

New Direction

After having thought about this for a week.  I think that the first step in preparation may be to put my spirit in the right place.  I don't think I am prepared to meet God.  I believe that we lived before we came to Earth and that we will live again after we die, so it seems to me that it would not be so bad to die.  On the other hand it would be very disappointing to die and find out I can't live with God because I was selfish, or whatever else.

To prepare for the great disaster I think that I must first find God.  Alma 32:27 "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words."


Assignment #1:
Today look for God's hand in your life.  Also read "O Remember, Remember"  by President Eyring.

Scenario

I think that initially I would like the scenario to run something like this:

• Generic disaster strikes only power plants and communication systems
• I then still have a house, but no water, power or toilets.
• I don't need to worry about radiation or zombies.
• Just every day life without stuff.
