Geranium

Carol was up at four this morning.  She couldn't sleep because of the pain in her left leg.  She got up and took a couple Tylenol tablets.  She went back to bed and I went back to bed. After I showered I turned on my electric razer and the was nothing.  It was plugged  in.  I think that I left the razer on and plugged it it.  I had to lather my face and use the bladed razer.  It went all right.  I read from the Book of Mormon and found in the kitchen a note from Richard.  He went to Scofield ice fishing.  I forgot photos again.

After breakfast I loaded the trunk and back seat with bags of garbage and took them to the dump.  No picture.  We were going to Fillmore to get some groceries, but Carol leg bothered so much that I went alone.  I stopped at Roper's and got calking to glue the grab bars to the shower wall.  After I got the groceries I picked up the mail.

There was a heavy package from Lisa.  As soon as I got home I put the groceries away and opened the package.   It was  I opened it 160 piece drill and driver bits.

After lunch I took the pictures of the geraniums that are growing in house two.

They are really doing well.  

Most of the hemp plants doing well.  They have a good color and the size is good.

Thomas Malthus

"In Malthus' opinion, the masses were incapable of exercising moral restraint, which was the only real remedy for the population problem. They were therefore doomed to live always at bare subsistence level. If all income and wealth were distributed among them, it would be totally wasted within one generation because of profligate behaviour and population growth, and they would be as poor and destitute as ever. Paternalistic attempts to help the poor were therefore highly likely to fail. Also, they were a positive evil because they drained wealth and income from the higher (and therefore more moral) ranks of society. These people were responsible - either in person or through patronage - for all the great achievements of society: art, music, philosophy, literature and so on owed their existence to the good taste and generosity of these people. Taking money from them to help the poor would deprive the world of culture."

Let a man take refuge in the Church. Let him be educated in her bosom and be nourished from the Holy Scriptures. … Eat ye from every Scripture of the Lord.”

Mosiah 23:18

18 Therefore they did watch over their people, and did ^anourish them with things pertaining to righteousness.

This writer goes on to explain that the early church fathers saw the Old Testament as “Christian literature,” as “parabolic throughout,” truly understood only by Christians because “everything in the Old Testament was a prototype of Christ
