Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son

Having denied the Holy spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame.
Book of Mormon

'Be of Good Cheer'
President Dallin H. Oaks
First Counselor in the First Presidency
With the Lord's promises, we "lift up our hearts and rejoice" (D&C 25:13), and "with a glad heart and a cheerful countenance" (D&C 59:15), we go forward on the covenant path. Most of us do not face decisions of giant proportions, like leaving our homes to pioneer an unknown land. Our decisions are mostly in the daily routines of life, but as the Lord has told us, "Be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great" (D&C 64:33).


Restoration Proclamation
P1 S3
By the power of the Father, Jesus rose again and gained the victory over death.

The Living Christ
P11 S3
He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world.

"If we are going to prepare the world for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ then we have to have the faith to declare it."
Jared Halverson

Sheri got her stimulus check today. It was $7,000, $1,400 for each person living at their house. We probably won't get outs for awhile like we did last time.

James went in to town this morning to do errands and to get an x-ray and bloodwork done. He needed to get horse feed, pick up the bench that goes in our bedroom that he had re-covered. 

I love it!

Max went off this morning on the Razr alone and without asking permission. He was gone for quite some time and came back with wet clothes which we immediately put in the washing machine.

Evan and Joshua both go on a walk and visit Luna. It is too muddy to ride her. 

Since today is St. Patrick's Day I put on my new green socks. No one even seemed to notice.
They are more green than they
look in this picture.

James called Sheri this afternoon and asked if she would go by Chandler Auto Body to pick up our garage door opener and James's keys. She said she would but that she would be coming tomorrow morning instead of this evening because she was too tired. 

For dinner Max cooked hotdogs. I made frozen pizza for Joshua and Evan and also asparagus and some strawberries. James tried to dip the strawberries and hoped the chocolate would harden but it never did. It had a good flavor but was not the type of chocolate to harden. 

Stacy called me this evening to tell me about her friend Nikki. She invited Nikki, who works with Stacy and is a former stripper, to dinner like she promised the missionaries she would. She bore her testimony and told her about the gospel and what it means to her in her life. She called to ask me if she could bring Nikki and her family up here sometime in the future. She said she wanted Nikki to be in a home where you can feel the Spirit like you can in ours. She says she doesn't feel it in her own home. Of course I told her it would be fine to bring her up. Thank you Stacy for the compliment.

I started a new audio book, "The Dowry of Lady Eliza."
