Jesus Christ, Millennial Reign
DC 43:29
For in mine own due time will I come upon the earth in judgment, and my people shall be redeemed and shall reign with me on earth.

'Watch Ye Therefore, And Pray Always'
President M. Russell Ballard
Today I expand my call for prayer to all people from every country around the world. No matter how you pray or to whom you pray, please exercise your faith - whatever your faith may be - and pray for your country and for your national leaders. As I said last October in Massachusetts, we stand today at a major crossroads in history, and the nations of the earth are in desperate need of divine inspiration and guidance. This is not about politics or policy. This is about peace and the healing that can come to individual souls as well as to the soul of countries-their cities, towns, and villages-through the Prince of Peace and the source of all healing, the Lord Jesus Christ.
P9 S1
With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles invite all to know-as we do-that the heavens are open.
Happy 23rd Birthday Michael
I love him!
I set up my gift wrapping center on the dining room table. James doesn't seem to mind. Brother Grapp is coming over today to pick up the rabbit hutch they are giving Liana for Christmas. I put a big bow on the horse calendar I bought to give to the family. I also made a big batch of snickerdoodle cookies to give to them. Later I got a text from Cammy thanking me for the horse calendar because they love horses and she said my cookies we delicious and they were now all gone. Simple gifts, yet received with gratitude. It made me feel good.
Of course I am still watching new Christmas cookies while wrapping the gifts for Darrel's family. I want to take them down when we go tomorrow for the family party. I also wrapped both white elephant gifts. I had to make more cookies for the party and for the Wilhelm family.
James's eye is still bothering him. He thinks he got a sliver of metal in it when he was cutting the poles for the gates. Speaking of gates, Willie Grombach, someone in our ward, is going to make them at a very reasonable price. He is actually my friend Pat Tedder's son-in-law.
The weather was beautiful today. James said he actually accomplished all of his goals. For dinner he had a favorite, crab cakes. I had some of Kathy Crane's Christmas present to us, her homemade cinnamon bread.
Today we learned that Jared's former father-in-law, Mike Wallen, passed away. We also heard that Barney Carl, someone who James taught the gospel to when he was a ward mission leader, and who was baptized, passed away. On the other end of the spectrum, my dear former young woman, Trenda, had her baby today. He was not due until January 10th, so it was a surprise. Mother and baby are doing fine. They named him Emmett.

Proud parents Emery and Trenda
