Jesus Christ, Millennial Reign
1Nephi 22:26
And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan has no power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth.

'Seek Christ In Every Thought'
Elder Ulisses Soares
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Our ancient and modern prophets have constantly reminded us to resist temptation in order to avoid losing our spiritual traction and becoming confused, disoriented, and disillusioned in life.
Metaphorically speaking, yielding to temptation is like approaching a magnet with a metal object. The magnet's invisible force attracts the metal object and holds it tightly. The magnet loses its power over it only when the metal object is placed far from it. Therefore, just as the magnet is unable to exercise power over a far-away metal object, as we resist temptation, it fades away and loses its power over our mind and heart and, consequently, over our actions.
Restoration Proclamation
P9 S3
We testify that those who prayerfully study the message of the Restoration and act in faith will be blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity and of its purpose to prepare the world for the promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
James left Darrel's around 7:20 for Chandler Eyecare. Sheri asked on of the doctor's to come in early to see him. He did have rust in his eye and they got it out. His iris was swollen, which the doctor says was unrelated but a definite concern so they put him on an antibiotic and a steroid.
Trina and I went to Hobby Lobby and then Ross this morning. Trina needed to get some things at Hobby Lobby for Young Women's and I tagged along knowing that all of their Christmas stuff was 50% off.
The Christmas stuff was all gone so I just window shopped while Trina got what she needed. At Ross I bought two more blankets, one for Ben and one for Dallin. Trina wanted to go through Panera for molasses cookies and we ended up ordering lunch to take home to the kids. Trina also bought me a chicken salad sandwich. I offered to give her my $50 bill but she declined. The kids like their mac and cheese and Addy loves the veggie soup.
When we got home and had lunch Ruby got ready and went to a friend's house. Lola's friend "little" Ivy came over to play.
James had to go check on his houses and take care of business with Alberto. When he returned we got ready to go home. Rowan is coming with us to help James with the fence.
We stopped in Payson at Culver's for dinner. What kid orders water? I took over driving after Culver's and drove until CVS in Show Low. James's eye was bothering him.
When we got home James went out to feed Luna. Rowan saw her at her normal spot up on the hill by the gate waiting for James to let her in so he went to tell grandpa.
After feeding Luna we all went upstairs on the balcony of Sheri and Ian's room to look for the Christmas Star, or Saturn and Jupiter aligned to look like one star. It supposedly has not been seen in 800 years. We saw it in the southwest sky just before it dipped below the horizon. Without the binoculars it looked like on star.
I finished getting my steps and watched some TV and wrapped a couple of presents. We had family prayer with Rowan and he went upstairs and we didn't see him again. I told him to go to bed before midnight.
