I have this things for temples.

Alma 42:1-25

1 - Alma perceives through the Spirit what is bothering Corianton.

2 - He tells the story of Adam and Eve to explain agency.

4 - A time was granted for repentance.

6 - Man became fallen.

7 - Adam and Eve were cut off temporally and spiritually from the Lord.

9 - A redemption from spiritual death needed to be made.

10 - Our probationary state is a preparatory state.

13 - The plan of redemption comes about through repentance.  Marcy cannot rob justice.

14 - Fallen man is in the grasp of justice without repentance.

15 - The plan of mercy was brought about through the Atonement.  God Himself atoneth for the sins of the world.

17 - There must be a punishment for breaking the law in order for us to repent.

18 - Punishment for breaking the law bring remorse of conscience.

20 - If there was no law against sine men would not be afraid to sin.

23 - Mercy claimeth the penitent and mercy comes because of the Atonement, and the Atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; the resurrection brings men back into the presence of God to be judged according to their works and law and justice.

24 - . . . none but the truly penitent are saved.

25 - Mercy cannot rob justice.

Monument Valley.

Gorgeous!

James and I had to go to town again today to pick up his prescriptions and deposit a check into the bank. James also had to pick up some supplies at Home Depot.  I went in to look for a patio lounge chair but they had nothing.  I did a little searching online and the prices were outrageous.  I guess it will be another year before we get out lounge chairs for the deck.

I finished the first book in the Fablehaven series today.  I will be taking it to church on Sunday to give it to Braylin to read.

James and I went outside on the deck to read from our book and it got so windy we had to come in.  We got a little bit of a storm here but I guess the valley really got pelted.

I just can't get enough of the clouds up here.

  It looks like a storm in the distance

Some of this is smoke from the fire near Pinetop

or else they are doing a burn somewhere close.

Clouds and smoke together as we come in to Vernon.

I found this picture of Holly today and had to post it.

I still can't believe she's gone.

I haven't been to see the new dog, Shipley yet.

Tonight is our movie night and so we turned on a new Hallmark movie, "Summer Villa" starring Hillare Burton and Victor Webster.  It was a good one but the end was cut off which really irritated James.  I told him it was fine because we could come up with our own ending.  His meds are helping him to feel a little better.

I love this desert sunset.

This was before the monsoon hit.
