Just a little reminder that staying close to the Lord in every area of our lives will keep evil at bay, help
to keep our eyes open, and help us not be deceived by the wiles of the adversary in all forms, including various illusions of freedom.
In Utah, the governor is talking about reopening restaurants, salons, golf courses, gyms, etc. at the beginning of May.
But wait . . . what about our churches and other places of worship?
The fact these "non-essential" businesses are mentioned and churches are not is very telling, and it is something we should seriously think about.

Happy Sabbath, and may the Lord be with us all.

Days of Preparation

Over the past while, the Lord has been teaching each of us that leaning on our own arm is one of the worst things we could do right now, and it will get us nowhere.
The world has been changed forever, and contrary to popular belief, nothing will ever be as it was before. This is a time of extra spiritual preparation. Our trials are just beginning and we are going to face thing we've never imagined. But . . . we are also going to witness some of the Lord's most glorious miracles in our behalf. It's a time of refinement, purification, and sanctification, and the tests will be great. However, we won't be facing any of it alone. And as long as we forsake the things of the world and keep our focus on the things of eternity, the coming times will be wondrous!

Happy Easter!

With everything that is going on in the world, this is definitely a time of trials, as well as tender
mercies from the Lord. Because of this, I'm sure this year's Easter is one no one will ever forget.
I hope it is an amazing day for us all as we keep our focus on the Savior and His great sacrifice for us.
