Old Testament

Numbers 14-15

14 Israel murmurs and speaks of returning to Egypt - Joshua and Caleb give a good report of Canaan - Moses mediates between Israel and the Lord - The adults of Israel will not enter the promised land - The Lord slays the false spies by a plague - Some rebels try to go alone and are slain by the Amalekites and Canaanites.

15 Various sacrificial ordinances bring forgiveness to repentant Israel - Those who sin willfully are cut off from among the people - A man is stoned for gathering sticks on the Sabbath day - The Israelites are to look on the fringes of their garments and remember the commandments.

General Conference

The Plan and the Proclamation

" I testify that the proclamation on the family is a statement of eternal truth, the will of the Lord for His children who seek eternal life. It has been the basis of Church teaching and practice for the last 22 years and will continue so for the future. Consider it as such, teach it, live by it, and you will be blessed as you press forward toward eternal life."

James is outside feeding his rabbits. He is upset at the front rabbits for dragging the bowls in the culvert. 

It is 11 a.m. and I am so tired!

I made chicken enchiladas for lunch. They are not very healthy and they are high in calories, but oh, they are so delicious! James says: "We ate half of them." I said, "I had one helping."

Trina texted me a picture of how she spent her birthday money we gave her. Pinkalicious Nike tennis shoes.

James has been working upstairs in his office lately. Sometimes I get lonely and forget that he is here.

This afternoon I went into town to Walmart to do my grocery shopping. Even though I am out of DP10 I did not go to Safeway to get any. No more sodas!

I had no candy today but I had 3 cookies and an ice cream sandwich. I still have a long ways to go to really eat more healthy.

I walked today and blogged. My last blog was for February 27th. For the first time in a long time I am only a week behind. 

We saw 20 elk coming across our property. I think it is the same herd we have seen before. Mainly cows and a couple of spikes. They are probably looking for water. There isn't too much around.

James got 19,089 steps today, 1,000 of those were while he was talking on the phone to his mom. I got over 13,000.

We watched an episode of "Heartland". Amy is having flashbacks of her accident and is, for the first time in her life, afraid of horses.

It's so nice to have a cordless charger

that actually works.

Ginger Zee's baby.

For those of you who don't know who Ginger Zee is,

she does the weather on Good Morning

America. I got to know her when she 

danced with Val on "Dancing with the Stars."

I love babies!
