Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 99

 After the Savior's appearance in the Americas, He gave the option to His apostles of what they desired.  Most wanted to come to Him after a life of usefulness, and three wanted to continue serving on the earth.  It appears to me the Lord gave John Murdock the option of his desires saying - 

"...after a few years, if thou desirest of me, thou mayest go up also unto the goodly land, to possess thine inheritance;

8 Otherwise thou shalt continue proclaiming my gospel until thou be taken..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 99:7–8)
