Jesus Christ, Glory of
DC 45:46
Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace blessed are you for as you now behold me and know that I am, even so shall ye come unto me and your souls shall live, and your redemption shall be perfected; and the saints shall come forth from the four quarters of the earth.
Book of Mormon

New Testament 2 Corinthians 8-13 "God Loveth a Cheerful Giver"
2 Corinthians 13
General Conference
Great Love for Our Father's Children
Elder Quentin L. Cook
"I promise that as we focus on our love for the Savior and His Atonement, make Him the centerpiece of our efforts to gather Israel on both sides of the veil, minister to others, and individually prepare to meet God, the influence of the adversary will be diminished and the joy, delight, and peace of the gospel will magnify our homes with Christlike love. I testify of these doctrinal promises and bear a sure witness of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice in our behalf, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
Before Darrel and Rowan left this morning Darrel told us about Rowan's football team. They won the season play and are now playing on Monday in the tournament for the championship. They play Willis Jr. High, Firebirds and Eastmark is also the Firebirds so it's the Firebirds against Firebirds. Stacy and Kim both went to Willis so I told Rowan I wasn't sure which Firebirds I would be cheering for. I , of course, was just kidding! Rowan has been moved up to first string tackle on defense. You can tell how proud Darrel is.
Another story Darrel told this morning about a guy named Mr. Smith who paid off all of the student loans at Morehouse College, not only for the students but for the parents too. This amounted to 34 million dollars but that's ok because he's worth 6 billion.
James heard an elk answering him this morning so he disappeared for awhile.
James forgot to set the mousetraps outside last night but he still caught two mice in his bucket trap.
Two more bulls are calling and James says to me: "I've had three bulls answer me this morning honey."
Darrel and Rowan left this morning and they took big Bertha. I hope they have a great day. James didn't go. He stayed home and worked outside on railings. Here are photos of some of the fish Rowan caught.
Trina had a leo photoshoot this morning with Lola and Ruby. Lola was a kitty and Ruby was a witch.
Esmerelda and her kitty, Moonlight
Moonlight is both fierce,
and gentle.
She's quite a charmer too.
Good witch Esmeralda
Trina said that today was one of the most relaxing days that she has had in a long time.
Addy made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I made rolls and minestrone soup for lunch and chicken enchiladas and refried beans for dinner.
All the kids had a Dilly bar. Some had chocolate and some had cherry. We did puzzles, colored, and watched highlights from "Dancing with the Stars."
We went for a walk and we were going to go to the 911 Commemorative BBQ at the park but some people didn't want to go. We soon came to realize none of us really wanted to go because we did not want to have to change our clothes and get ready to go.
We read Church magazines and wondered why there are chickens on the front of this month's Ensign and New Era. We started talking about chickens and Addy looked them up on the internet and found out that there is someone who makes diapers for chickens so people can have them as pets and bring them into their houses. Now Addy says she wants a pet chicken. I think she's just kidding, at least I hope she is.
Darrel came home in time to watch part of the ASU game and to play games with the kids and Trina.
We also watched the first two episodes of the new Hallmark series, "When Hope Calls."
I got 10,007 steps today.
James showing Rowan some fish photos.
Addy worked on the St. Basil's church puzzle.
St Basil's is a church in Russia.
Two gorgeous girls!
