Jesus Christ, Lord
Revelation 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
Helaman 11 - Nephi persuades the Lord to replace their war with a famine - Many people perish - They repent, and Nephi importunes the Lord for rain - Nephi and Lehi receive many revelations - The Gadianton robbers entrench themselves in the land. About 20-6 B.C.
"Teaching with Power"
April General Conference
"Come and Belong"
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Jesus the Christ, though He is "the King of kings," the Messiah, "the Son of the living God," does care deeply about each and every one of God's children. He cares regardless of a person's position - how rich or poor, how imperfect or proven someone is. During His mortal life, the Savior ministered to all: to the happy and accomplished, to the broken and lost, and to those without hope. Often, the people He served and ministered to were not individuals of prominence, beauty, or wealth. Often, the people He lifted up had little to offer in return but gratitude, a humble heart, and the desire to have faith.

Addy texted me this morning and thanked me for the birthday card we sent and I wished her a happy birthday.
James has problem with the two houses in Mesa. Alberto Gardea was supposed to dig the trench for the electrical line. He hit a gas line and a water line and said he was finished. Some places needed to be hand dug and he refused to do that. Anyway, now Armando and James are left to deal with the inspector who failed the first inspection. He will be back again on Tuesday to see if they are ready.
My big "to do" today was to clean upstairs, the kitchen including the refrigerator and floors, and vacuum, and dust the TV room and fireplace room, better known as the family-living room area. Stacy, Paul, and Joshua were supposed to come up tonight. Stacy wants to do my eyelashes. She called this afternoon and said they wouldn't be coming until next weekend. Next weekend is Labor Day and they will come on Friday and go home on Monday. I hope they realize that the traffic going home is terrible on Labor Day weekend.
James went to town today and I stayed home and watched an Up channel movie called "Tomboy." I really liked it. I guess I felt like I could take a break since I had no deadline on my cleaning. I am really good at putting things off. James left so late that the post office was closed so no books today. He did mail a return for me and a merchant fulfilled book.
We went on a Razr ride late this afternoon. James wanted to look for the Harris cave. Dave Elkins, our new part-time neighbor gave him directions and he drove right to it. He went down in to the cave while I waited for him. There was no way I was climbing into that tiny hole. He said he walked about 80 yards and the ceiling wasn't high enough for him to stand up in. Doesn't sound like the ice caves we went in near Ramah years ago. We could stand up and look at the ice formations in the big rooms.
On the way home we got some great sunset pictures. We also went to "The Ranch" which is probably less than a mile from our house but it is hidden in the trees. It used to be a recreation area and campsite. There were little log cabins set out all through the trees. It was like visiting a ghost town.
Luna was waiting for us when we got home. She walks behind James as he leads her to the stall where he feeds her and she nudges him along. She is quite the horse!
Happy Sweet 16 Addy!
Harris Cave (Can you see James?)
I need to go back
