Fighting against temptation takes a lifetime of diligence and faithfulness. But please know that the Lord is ready to assist us in our personal efforts and promises remarkable blessings if we endure to the end.


Restoration Proclamation
P1 S4
He is our Savior, our Exemplar, and our Redeemer.

Ate around five when I got up and took a muscle relaxer, prednisone, and tramadol. Today is the first day that I've tried to get back on my schedule for awhile. While working on my blog this morning I listened to Brother Jared Halverson on "Unshaken" discuss Doctrine and Covenants 5. He is awesome as he explains faith and testimony as it pertains to Martin Harris.

We had about 7 elk on our property this morning and several were spike bulls. James was excited!

I also listened to Tyler and Taylor on "Book of Mormon Central" this morning. A few episodes back Tyler talked about the unfolding of the Restoration as it applies to the first principles of the gospel. It went something like this:
First Vision - Faith
Moroni's Visit - Repentance
John the Baptist's Visit - Baptism
Peter, James, and John's Visit - Gift of the Holy Ghost

Today Taylor talked about the promises attached to the Abrahamic Covenant, which are: 1) Posterity, 2) Property, 3) Priesthood, and 4) Priesthood.

James and I are getting into our book, "Baked Alaskan":
Sadie Hoffmiller is looking forward to an entire week cruising the Alaskan wilderness with her two grown children, Shawn and Breanna, and her boyfriend, Pete. Not only will they all have the chance to get to know one another better, but Sadie will finally be able to help Breanna plan her upcoming wedding. They board the ship with high expectations of a well-deserved vacation.
And except for the mysterious woman on the ship that Shawn seems to know but will not discuss, and the fact that Breanna's future mother-in-law has already hijacked the wedding plans, and the unexpected death of a passenger in the middle of the buffet line, Sadie's vacation would have been perfect.
As it is, Sadie will need all her investigative skills to navigate the deep waters of the mystery that is soon swirling around her family. Amid her growing fears for the future, Sadie must also come to terms with the fact that her role in the lives of her children is changing and that even the best laid plans can go awry when a secret gets thrown into the mix.

Sheri called to say that the new glass frames and lenses she ordered for her dad are in. She said it is her birthday present to him. I told her we were coming down next Monday, hopefully, and would come by and pick them up. Thanks Sheri!

It wasn't supposed to rain or snow today but when I looked outside this afternoon and saw the clouds I told James we were going to get some moisture. He went outside to work and after an hour or so, he came back in because it was raining, which turned to sleet, and then snow.

Happy Anniversary Jared & Kacey!




Happy Birthday Talon!
