Prioritized Daily Task

Debbie and I were up early, had prayer, and Debbie washed, dried clothes, and started packing.  Michael started helping me online to get my 2022 journal ready to print.  I went to the Legacy and exercised.  I called and talked to Ora and texted Elain.  I sent them and Michael and Dan some family pictures from about 45 years ago.  Debbie prepared dinner and we ate.  We listened to John chapter 1 in Come Follow Me.  We did some more packing, vacuumed the house and Debbie got some of the spots out of the carpet on the stairs, we had prayer, and went to bed.  I got the name of a nursing home appraiser, Carol Reynolds, who appraised Cedartown Nursing Home in August 2017.  I also sent him the names of some local real estate appraisers to choose from to do an appraisal on the 38+ acres inside the city limits of Cleveland.

Pratt was also in NY City on a different kind of mission, a publication mission, to get the word out here in NY.  He hears stories that John Taylor has money and I need all the help I can get, with printing cost,  paper, ink, and, to pay a typesetter, so he goes to John Taylor and asks him, “Do you have any money?”  Elder Taylor says, “Yes, I have plenty of money.”  Elder Pratt says, “Ah, good, can I have $2 or $3 hundred dollars to pursue the work I am called to do?”   Brother Taylor gets a big smile on his face and...
