Accountability
Exercise going strong. Scripture study going strong. Prayer from knees, another hiccup with the rush out for early clients - so I had to make this up when I got back home between jobs. Today was pull-ups with 35-second rest periods, I did 5,5,3 which seems like backsliding from last time. I often notice this happens on Thursday mornings and wonder if the earlier wake-up is enough to cause this dip in performance from less sleep. It's also possible that the ab wheel roll-out I did last night had an influence. In any event, I'm not letting get me down as I am seeing a trend toward progress even if I have set backs on some days.
No manner of "ites" among them
In 4th Nephi a lot of time is covered quickly. The disciples of Christ chosen during the Saviors visit in 3 Nephi pass away except the three who will stay until his second coming. There is a period of great cooperation with all the people being united in one and having joy. Overtime Satan gets his hooks back into the people and they divide again into various factions.
It seems to me we live in a time where there is such a push for division having everyone corralled into camps by race, gender, wealth, nationality, personal health choices, political leanings and so on. We really need to all be better at seeing through this tactic of the adversary to "other" everyone else and remember that we are all children of God. One family. Easier said than done in our current climate, and perhaps only possible when everyone is willing to do their part in coming to Christ as going along with the ways of the world to get along isn't building a Zion people either.
Be strong!

Short book, Fourth Nephi covers a lot of years with few words. Peaceful times don’t take much explanation. I’ll bet there were some great recipes and farming advances and inventions at that time I had a low energy day but got 250 push ups from the knees eventually. Be strong. Strength and honour.
