Good Shepherd, Lamb of God

Elder Gerrit W. Gong

"Our Good Shepherd rejoices when we exercise individual moral agency with intention and faith. Those in His fold look to our Savior in gratitude for His atoning sacrifice. We covenant to follow Him, not passively, blindly, or 'sheepishly,' but instead desiring with all our hearts and minds to love God and our neighbor, bearing one another's burdens and rejoicing in one another's joys. As Christ freely dedicated His will to the will of the Father, so we reverently take upon us His name. We gladly seek to join His work of gathering and ministering to all of God's children."

Kathy and Kris were the book webinar presenters today. They always stress the importance of learning to read the Keepa charts as the most important aspect of the business. Kathy said that when she first started she worked on Keepa charts at least two hours a day. I guess this is where I need to put my focus after repricing. I have received Keepa alerts but for some reason they never work out to be good deals. Must try harder! On the positive side today was the best day I've had selling books.

James had to go to town again today because we forgot to pick up his meds yesterday. I stayed at home and did my thing and ate the following snacks: turkey bacon, pickles, a Dilly bar and a plain Hershey's bar. 

I love reading the Aunt Dimity books again. It's like having a set of new books because it's been so long since I have read them. My friend Karen S. is the one who introduced me to Aunt Dimity.

We received some news we didn't expect to receive today. We did not get our Chase loan. We were frustrated because of all the hoops we had to jump through and a little sad but James said he would go back to Quicken and see if we could get one there. We must get rid of the high interest rate on our business line of credit loan.

I couldn't sleep tonight. I got up around 1:00 a.m., ate a bowl of blueberry Cheerios and read from Aunt Dimity and finally went back to sleep.

Happy First Birthday Charlie!

Don't try to take my cake!

Such lovely centerpieces!
I don't think I have ever seen a cuter baby!

Another cutie!
