"The Finest Homes"
Elder L. Whitney Clayton
Third, fine homes follow the blueprint created by the Lord for His finest home, the temple, Building a temple begins with basic steps - clearing brush and leveling land. Those initial efforts to ready the ground might be compared to keeping the basic commandments. The commandments are the foundation on which discipleship is built. Steady discipleship leads us to become firm, steadfast, and immovable, like the steel framework for a temple. This steady framework allows the Lord to send His Spirit to change our hearts. Experiencing a mighty change of heart is like adding beautiful features to the interior of a temple.

Restoration Proclamation paragraph Aug 23-29
We affirm that under the direction of the Father and the Son, heavenly messengers came to instruct Joseph and re-establish the Church of Jesus Christ. The resurrected John the Baptist restored the authority to baptize by immersion for the remission of sins. Three of the original twelve Apostles - Peter, James, and John - restored the apostleship and keys of priesthood authority. Others came as well, including Elijah, who restored the authority to join families together forever in eternal relationships that transcend death.
James woke up with a horrible pain in his neck and shoulder. I massaged it with Deep Blue which seemed to help a little. In spite of his pain he went out and worked on the fence. When I called him in for lunch he came and we had scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits with apricot-mango jam, and avocado. His teeth are still bothering him so he has a hard time eating. So many ailments!
I did my gospel study this morning and then worked on my blog and my next shipment of books. I got all of the books inventoried and all but four cleaned. Alex gave me two of his textbooks and they are included in this shipment. I could make $20 if I sell them both.
When I asked James what the plans were for fixing Lexy he said he had a long talk with Erik. First, Erik says it will cost at least $3,500 to fix and he can't do it for a month because he is so busy. He thinks because the car has over 300,000 miles on it that we are wasting our money by fixing it. He thinks we can get another car for less mileage and be better off. My heart was pretty sad when I heard this. I do not want a car payment but I do need a reliable car. James also needs a reliable truck. I think maybe for right now I should see if Barbara would sell me her car. I think she would give me a better deal than I could get anywhere else and it gets good gas mileage. I don't know what we will do with Lexy. Keep her for the time being I guess.
Kathy Crane gave us 14 ears of corn from their garden, a couple of tomatoes, a cucumber and a zucchini. I shucked all of the corn and put it in freezer bags. The instructions I looked up for freezing corn said there was no need to blanch it, so I didn't.
I made chili for dinner using some of the beans I cooked last weekend. I thought it was a little hot, maybe because of the Rotelle or green chilies, but James loved it.
I sold three books today.
Restoration Proclamation until the next
General Conference.
