President Ezra Taft Benson taught that those who strive to become like Jesus Christ achieve true greatness:
"That man is greatest and most blessed and joyful whose life most closely approaches the pattern of the Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige. The only true test of greatness, blessedness, joyfulness, is how close a life can come to being like the Master, Jesus Christ. He is the right way, the full truth, and the abundant life."
Thanks Sheri and your work friend Rachel!
I am obsessed with tiny houses
right now!
We left around 6am for Chandler this morning, reluctant to go. We have no spare, only a prayer.
James stopped at McDonald's for me so I could get a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit so I could take my pain meds. It was dried out and I didn't end up eating all of it. James is my "cleanup" man.
Just before Hagan Hill there was a big rock in the road. James stopped and moved it so no one would have the problem we had Saturday night.
My cold and cough are still with me and now James is getting sick too. I warned him, but he didn't listen. After stopping at Burger House for Tony's Special, I called Dr. Douglas and told Chris I had a cold. We both thought it was a good idea for me to reschedule my appointment. I rescheduled for 1pm on September 9th, the same day I have an infusion.
According to Discount Tire we are lucky we made it here on our spare. They said it's the original spare, which is now ten years old, and it's not even legal to drive on because of the chance of delamination. Thank goodness we said a prayer! Two new tires and a new wheel are going to cost us between $500 and $600!
We started my birthday celebration a little early.
For dinner we went to Oreganos and then afterwards we went to see the new Meryl Streep movie, "Rikki and the Flash." It isn't a movie I would recommend but it ended up having a pretty good message.
We read our scriptures and a chapter from "The Silent Governess" before going to bed.
