And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

'Sustainable Societies'
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The societies in these two examples, Enoch and 4th Nephi, were sustained by the blessings of heaven growing out of their exemplary devotion to the two great commandments: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" and "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." They were obedient to God in their personal lives, and they looked after one another's physical and spiritual welfare. In the words of the Doctrine and Covenants, these were societies with "every man seeking the interest of his neighbor, and doing all things with an eye single to the glory of God."
P5 S1
We further witness that Joseph Smith was given the gift and power of God to translate an ancient record: the Book of Mormon-Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
James left for the valley this morning. Before he left he made the bed and brought me some herbal tea.
Today is Paul's 50th birthday. He has been a part of our family for over 30 years. I sent him a card and a Bass Pro Shop gift card on Friday and was pleased to know that he got it today. Happy Birthday Paul.
first met him.
Today is also Curtis Wilhelm's birthday. He is 13 and James is his ministering brother. I texted Curtis's mom and asked what we could get him for his birthday. She said he wanted a baseball style cap.
I left for town around 10 a.m. and my first stop was at Big 5 Sports.
I chose a black cap with a Diamondback rattler on it. The Diamondback's are Arizona's professional baseball team. Sister Wilhelm said he liked snap back hats so I made sure there was a snap in the back. I also went to Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Home Depot. Tonight is our turn to have the "Come Follow Me" study group at our house. I'm going to make sugar cookies for dessert tonight and hot chocolate with marshmallows, hence the stop at Walmart. I had to get some Simple Green to clean the fireplace glass because James is planning on being back before the meeting and he wants to build a fire for our guests. I got a gift bag, some tissue, and a birthday card at Dollar Tree.
On the way home I stopped at the Wilhelm's to drop off Curtis's gift. Sandra was home but she said Curtis had gone to Morenci with his brother Talon for the week. She said she thought he would love the hat but I told her I would give her the gift receipt in case he wanted to exchange it for another hat.
When I got home I needed a break so I rested on the recliner and then got up and went to work. I made a batch of sugar cookie dough and let it sit in the frig for an hour. I overcooked the first batch because the oven was set to convection and I didn't know it.
I only need five cookies for tonight. The Peeler's had lunch today at Burger King and must have gotten some bad food because they are both feeling rather ill. The Crane's aren't coming either. They are leaving early in the morning for Globe where Kathy is having a stress test done at Dr. Memon's office.
James got home around 4:30 and I put him to work before he laid down for a quick nap. I had him bring up the nativity and set it on the entry table. I also asked him to put the tree skirt on the tree.
This is how James put the tree skirt on.
I guess he doesn't realize the purpose of
a tree skirt.
We had such a fun time with the Goodman's and Vicky this evening. We read the lesson and then we had refreshments. We had a hot chocolate bar and I had each person decorate their sugar cookie like I had seen on a Hallmark movie. The sugar cookies were heart shaped and we were making them in to Santa faces.

James did not frost his cookie. He says he likes it without frosting.
After everyone was gone and we cleaned the kitchen we watched a movie and went to bed.
missed this picture and the next one.
