weeding my garden

2282 Decade Court
Riverside, California 92506
Richard & Beth Barton's gardens are always beautiful.
You should see them in the spring.

By the way, I love John Bytheway.
Listened to Weed your Garden, Grow a Testimony yesterday and absolutely loved it. What a powerful speaker, with a tremendous testimony of Christ's gospel. There are so many different parts of it that I loved, that I could write on and on about it. So, here are my highlights off the top of this for forgetful brain; Alma the younger taught about planting the seed and giving it place. What is the seed? Christ. Plant Christ in your heart and nourish His word with daily obedience of living the gospel of Christ. He came, he showed and he sacrificed. Now it is up for us to partake. With good garden 'weapons', ie prayer, FHE, scripture knowledge, church meetings, serving others and the list goes on, then I can ho, whack, cut, dig, and kill out the weeds (wordly influence, satan's temptations, human weakness).

AnnnnnD, along with some good FDP: FAITH * DILIGENCE * PATIENCE, I will better stay on this straight and narrow path that will lead me safely home to my Heavenly Father.
Like Lehi, I have the testimony, and I am hoping, pleading, praying that my family members come along. FAITH
Unlike Lehi, I am not even close to the Tree of Life and the temptations of the world still ring very clear in my head. DILIGENCE
MO reen always says, "Just love 'um" PATIENCE

I look forward to kneeling at Christ's feet and it is up to me to help get US ALL safely home,
TOGETHER FOREVER as Grandma May would say.
