This is probably the challenge that I do best!

Ether 6:12-30

We learn that the Jaredites were taught the importance of humility.  Modern revelation also teaches us the importance of humility:

"Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand and give thee answers to thy prayers" (D&C 112:10).  Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin explained that "humility is the recognition and attitude that one must rely on the Lord's assistance to make it through life" (CR, Oct. 2004, 110).

GC:  Am I Good Enough?  Will I Make It? by Elder J. Devn Cornish

"The God of heaven is not a heartless referee looking for any excuse to throw us out of the game.  He is our perfectly

loving Father, who yearns more than anything else to have all 

of His children come back home and live with Him as families forever He truly gave His Only Begotten Son that we

might not perish but have everlasting life!

Please believe, and please take hope and comfort from that eternal truth.  Our Heavenly Father intends for us to make it!

That is His work and His glory."

James ordered me a Christmas gift.  I saw the order when I was going over my credit card statement.  The name of the place he ordered from is called Diamond Pendant.  Sounds exciting!

I saw this on the back of James's deodorant container:

"Contains odor-fighting  atomic robots that shoot lasers at your stench monsters and replaces them with fresh, clean, masculine scent elves."  

This is the only deodorant I am going to buy for 

James from now on!

Well I had to go back into town today because I forgot to pick up my prescriptions yesterday.  I went to Walmart and bought more Christmas socks and picked up my prescriptions.  I also went by Firehouse Subs and got my favorite sandwich, a Hook and Ladder, and then went to Dollar Tree and got 8 snowman mugs and 7 Santa mugs.  I hope I am through shopping for awhile!

James made it home around 4 p.m. with burros from Burger House.  I sure do love him and I am so glad he made it back safely!  I always worry when he is pulling a trailer with equipment on it.  

I watched two Christmas movies today, one by myself and one with James, "A Christmas Wedding Date," and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," starring James Brolin.  James and I watched the last movie together.  It is a new one and we loved it!  It is always fun to watch movies with someone you love!

I absolutely love this picture of Shipley and Joshua

taken Monday evening when they went to look at Christmas lights.

I love you Kaeli!

I don't know what they are doing, but

these two are great buddies!
