Jesus Christ, Firstborn

New Testament "The Word of God Grew and Multiplied"

General Conference
The Power of Sustaining Faith
President Henry B. Eyring
"President George Q. Cannon gve a warning that I pass on to you as my own. I believe he spoke the truth: 'God has chosen His servants. He claims it as His prerogative to condemn them, if they need condemnation. He has not given it to us individually to censure and condemn them. No man, however strong he may be in the faith, however high in the Priesthood, can speak evil of the Lord's anointed and find fault with God's authority on the earth without incurring His displeasure. The Holy Spirit will withdraw himself from such a man, and he will go into darkness. This being the case, do you not see how important it is that we should be careful?'"
James left at 5 a.m. for Ramah, New Mexico. He is taking his dad's headstone to place on his grave. Waiting for him there are his cousins Lee, Sherrel, and Dane. They did a good job.
Lee and Sherrel
(No picture of Dane)
James says there is a huge new high school in Ramah out near the graveyard. Two girls walked by and Dane said: "There go two of my skinny granddaughters." Lee is 88 years old and James says he doesn't have a gray hair.
I am reading a talk in the Ensign by Whitney Clayton about religious freedom which is being threatened in society today. Very informative and interesting.
I read this quote by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin on faith:
"Faith exists when absolute confidence in that which we cannot see combines with action that is in absolute conformity to the will of our Heavenly Father. Without all three - first, absolute confidence; second, action; and third, absolute conformity - without these three, all we have is a counterfeit, a weak and watered down faith."
We had a little rain this morning. It almost lasted five minutes.
I watched these Christmas movies today while walking and then working on my book business:
"A Heavenly Christmas"
"Love at Christmas"
"A Made to Order Christmas"
James got home in the early afternoon. I was on the phone with Stacy so he went straight into the bedroom and laid down on the bed to take a nap.
He did get up and go outside to walk and then came back in and watched the last Christmas movie with me.
A sister in our ward is being induced tomorrow and I have been asked to bring in dinner on Thursday. That changes my plans a little. I decided I would make "Kid friendly" goulash, green beans, rolls, a salad, and chocolate chip cookies. I will go shopping tomorrow in Taylor. I'm taking my friend Catherine to an appointment in Snowflake.
James is leaving early tomorrow to take his friend Anthony into town. More about that story tomorrow.

I love that she has a hat but no shoes!
Interesting story.
