Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son
Moses 4:28
And I, the Lord God, said unto mine Only Begotten: Behold, the man is become as one of us to know good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and partake also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever.

'Highly Favored Of The Lord'
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
"Now, what do we hear in the gospel which we have received? A voice of gladness! A voice of mercy from heaven; and a voice of truth out of the earth; glad tidings for the dead; a voice of gladness for the living and the dead; glad tidings of great joy. . . .
". . . Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage. . . . and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing."
Brothers and sisters, I believe that one day, each of you will look back at the canceled events, the sadness, the disappointments, and the loneliness attendant to the challenging times we are passing through to see them overshadowed by choice blessings and increased faith and testimonies. I believe that in this life, and in the life to come, your afflictions, your Ammonihah, your Liberty Jail, will be consecrated for your gain. I pray that, along with Nephi, we can acknowledge the afflictions in the course of our days while at the same time recognizing that we are high favored of the Lord.

Restoration Proclamation
P4 S4
Others came as well, including Elijah, who restored the authority to join families together forever in eternal relationships that transcend death.

The Living Christ
P2 S6
He entreated all to follow His example.

My sciatic nerve is really bothering me this morning. I took some meds and laid down for about two hours and felt better.

Stacy texted a little after noon and said she would be leaving in 10 minutes. She got here somewhere between 4:30 and 5. She is by herself this time. A few years ago Stacy never would have ventured out on her own. I guess she just needed to get away. She said the boys were doing a Smash tournament in her family room and she felt "crowded." After getting settled in and taking her suitcase downstairs, she is ready to start her puzzle. She brought Starry Night by Van Gogh. The flower arrangement and the tray on the coffee table are set on the high entry table where my Easter basket display is. Now she's ready for puzzle and TV time. I'm glad she feels so at home here.

Sorry Stacy but the first order of business on the TV is the latest Hallmark movie, "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" starring Ryan Pavey and Italia Ricci.  Italia's character runs a breakup boot camp and of course Ryan is a prime candidate to attend because his girlfriend has just broken up with him. Of course as they get to know each other, they begin falling in love. And then Ryan's character does something behind Miranda's back and she drops him. He proves himself by writing a wonderful review of the boot camp in his companies magazine and they get back together. It's a typical Hallmark movie and so predictable, but I still like it. Italia Ricci is one of my favorite female characters. 



Stacy started us on a show that's on Prime video called, "Death in Paradise." It's a murder mystery that she has been watching and it's a show that Tara's husband Jeff worked on. We watched one episode and liked it, although I'm not a huge fan of murder mysteries. 






Uncle Preston is Paul's nephew.
John and Shelley's son.






Brandon Garvin is the guy who happened to be in
Vernon when James was pouring our back sidewalk
and is a friend of J. Wilhelm's. Brandon brought
himself and his son and concrete tools and because
of him and John W. the concrete was saved.









Date night.

Charlie's first Primary activity. The kids sang one of her favorite
songs, "I Am A Child of God." She sang right along with them.
