Jesus Christ, Lord
1 Corinthians 8:6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are a things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
Helaman 7-12 "Remember the Lord"

April General Conference
"Hear Him"
President Russell M. Nelson
The very first word in the Doctrine and Covenants is hearken. It means "to listen with the intent to obey." To hearken means to "hear Him - to hear what the Savior says and then to heed His counsel. In those two words - "Hear Him" - God gives us the pattern for success, happiness, and joy in this life. We are to hear the words of the Lord, hearken to them, and heed what He has told us!

Another beautiful Monday morning here in Vernon, Arizona.
James is taking Tom Howard's truck to the valley tomorrow. He is hauling down the Cat to do some work at the houses in Mesa that he is building. His truck is missing a tail light (I wonder what will fall off next). He has ordered a new one but it hasn't been delivered yet. After picking up the truck he was going in to town to pick up hay for Tom and then going over to Lakeside to look at a road that someone wants him to fix like he fixed ours. He asked me to go with him. Since I told him I was not going with him tomorrow to the valley, I decided it would be nice if I did this with him. When we got to the Howard's Tom came outside to give us the keys to the truck. He looked at me and said, "wait a minute, I have something for you." He went in side and came back out with four mini Bit-O-Honey candies. I told him thank you and asked where Jean was. He said she was inside watching Fox News. I should have gone in and gave her a hug, but I didn't. I regretted not doing that afterwards.
We headed down the hill and into town. As we were picking up the hay at the edge of town I made the comment that I thought it looked like rain over by Lakeside. For some reason James wanted to pick up the hay first. I think it was because Tom had told them we were on our way. Anyway with a load of hay in the back of the truck, we headed towards Lakeside. We got as far as the Walmart area and it started to rain. We stopped at Firehouse Subs to get lunch and it was raining so hard we decided to go back home instead of going on to Lakeside because we didn't want to get the hay any wetter. So the one thing we set out to do was the one thing we didn't do.
James helped Tom unload the hay and I drove the truck to our house. James took Barbara's car, (I call her Curvy, CR-V) to get gas. He had to go clear to Maverick because the gas was so high at Stanford. I asked if he checked under the hood and he said he couldn't figure out how to get the hood up.
I got a birthday card from Kim today and a $50 Amazon gift card. So sweet of her, thank you Kim.
We got a text from Brian around 9 this evening asking for prayers for Kim. She is in the ER and feels like she is going to pass out. Her neck and head are numb and she has pulsating behind her eye. We all said we would pray for her. Later Brian said they were doing a CT Scan to make sure the artery is okay. We all went to bed praying for Kim, Kacey and Jared were probably already in bed, and didn't hear back from Brian during the night.
bounced two balls and then passed them to each other.
They never missed.
