"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."

-Matthew 5:44

Wouldn't it be nice if we all could do this.  Most of us have a 

hard time getting along with those we love.

James and Tyler Hunsaker spoke in the Cibeque branch today.  I think Tyler is his youngest speaking companion yet.  He's 17.  James said there were about 90 people there, which is some kind of a record for Cibeque.

When I left for church this morning there were no clouds in the sky.  When I came out the sky was filled.  By 3pm there was a downpour.

You can't really tell how hard it's raining from this picture.

James got home around 1:30, just in time to get something to eat and then he met Curt Gillespie down at the church to do a financial audit of our ward for the stake.  While they were in the building James said it sounded like lightening hit the steeple.  Curt works on the Carlock cattle ranch and is afraid it's going to flood.  He said last time it rained hard a three foot wall of water came down through the ranch.  This is because so much of the ground cover was burned off in the fire.

This evening for FHE James and I watched a CES fireside given by Elder D. Todd Christofferson.  He talked about developing Christlike attributes in our lives.  It is something I really needed to hear.

James gave me permission to post this.
