Jesus Christ, Death of
Mosiah 14:9
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no evil, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Book of Mormon #1
Mormon 5:1-12
*What lessons can we learn and apply to our lives from the writings of Mormon? Why do you think he documented all of the wars and sorrows of the Nephites for us to read?
- We can learn from Mormon's writings that wickedness never was happiness! Mormon's account of events during his days have been full of sorrow and despair and unfortunately, because of their wickedness, life did not improve for the Nephites. Mormon takes time in this chapter to explain what he thinks we should learn from this tragic account. The Book of Mormon came forth in our day to persuade us that Jesus is the Christ. Mormon sorrowed that his people did not repent so they could be clasped in the arms of Jesus. Mormon increasingly looked beyond the tragedy before him to a people he hoped would profit from their mistakes.

The Correct Name of the Church

"In AD 34, our resurrected Lord gave instruction to members of His Church when He visited them in the Americas. At that time He said:
'Ye shall call the church in my name... And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in my name then it is my church."
James called to wish Sister Dye a happy Thanksgiving yesterday and found out she was in the hospital. We went to town this morning to go see her.
Sister Dye was in room 118 at the Show Low hospital. She had a stroke and it was difficult for her to talk. James gave her a blessing. Before we went to the hospital we stopped by the assisted living community across and down from the hospital, Sol Terra. Sister Dye has expressed a desire to live there so we went to get an information packet. I was concerned that she does not know what her monthly income is. I wonder if someone else is in charge of her money.
We found out late that Sister Dye will not be moving to Sol Terra because she can't bring her six cats.
She did ask for helping in finding someone to clean out her chimney. Her house is very cold and we are concerned about her going back there to live. Her granddaughter lives with her but isn't a great deal of help.
While James went shopping at Home Depot for a new faucet I went shopping at Walmart. The new faucet cost over $150 but was still cheaper than ordering parts for the old one, plus I didn't want to wait for the parts to get here.
When we got home Kim and Brian were getting ready to go on a Razr ride. James told them we were making venison gravy and biscuits so they waited. Venison gravy and biscuits is one of their, and ours, favorite meal.
Brian made avocado salsa and we love it with scoop chips!
After lunch James went to work on the faucet and Kim and Brian went for their ride. James had to make another trip to town for a part. So frustrating! It took most of the day, but by the end of the day we had a new faucet.
We put the dishes from lunch in the dishwasher and it works!
I blogged for last Saturday and it takes forever! I am so far behind. Hopefully I will catch up before Christmas.
Kim told us today about our friends the Pargetter's. Brother Pargetter is now in hospice and the family wanted us to know. We will add him to our prayer list as well as his family.
Brian put up our Christmas tree this even. While James was in town he bought some more lights because many of the lights on the tree are burned out. Kim put all the new lights on. She thinks it needs more lights, but I think it looks great!
Today's Christmas movies:
"Christmas on the Bayou"
Hilare Burton and Ed Asner
"Will You Merry Me?"

Kim is the best light tech that I know.
