Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son
Moses 4:3
Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;

'Do Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with God'
Elder Dale G. Renlund
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
We can assess our own progress. We can know "that the course of life that we are pursuing is according to God's will" when we do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. We assimilate the attributes of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ into our character, and we love one another.

Restoration Proclamation
P5 S2
Pages of this sacred text include an account of the personal ministry of Jesus Christ among people in the Western Hemisphere soon after His Resurrection.

The Living Christ
P2 S8
He walked the roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead.

Two elk calves were out grazing next to Luna's corral this morning. When James went out to feed Luna they acted like they didn't even notice him. 

I got a message from Dave's first wife Sandy on messenger asking me to call her, which I did this morning. Sandy and I were next door neighbors for years and we raised our kids together. She was a good friend. It was enjoyable talking to her. She told me about her life and her kids and I shared some things with her. She and her sister Cindy are coming to Show Low sometime in April and would like to get together for lunch. She also asked me to invite Vickie too. I told her I would love to see her and we said our goodbyes.

James and I attended the services for my dear friend Jean Howard today at the Owens Livingston Funeral Home in Show Low. Jean looked beautiful in her casket with her temple robes on. She looked so peaceful. I know she is in a happier place with Tom and the two boys she lost, and that she is pain free. I will miss her so very much.

Friends and family members were invited to come up and share stories about Jean. I was the first to get up. I talked about how we loved to go to lunch together and how I loved and respected her so much because of all the pain she had been through and how she never complained. She was truly one of my very best Vernon friends.
James also got up and shared a memory. He told about going to the temple with Jean and Tom a couple of times to do family names. He said that Tom was the best friend he had in Vernon.

I am going to miss her so much!

We did not go to the cemetery afterwards. We were tired and hungry and went to the Dickie's in Lakeside for some bbq. James got the brisket and I got a baked potato the size of a football with pulled pork and onion rings on top. I couldn't even eat half of it.

James got his new computer screen in the mail today and was so excited to get it installed on his computer. He was proud of himself for saving $250. The sad thing is, now he can't find his mouse!

We got our stimulus check automatically deposited into our account today. It was a nice surprise to have an extra $2,800.

I walked this afternoon and listened to my audio book "Georgana's Secret." 

For FHE with read from the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and part of the Easter lesson in the "Come Follow Me" manual. Afterwards we watched another episode of the British murder mystery, "Death in Paradise."

Memory of when we went to Texas for 
Charlie's baby blessing









I'm wondering if my grandpa Strickland
built either of these bridges




Emery blessed baby Emmett today








The last day I got 10,000 steps or more
for over a week.
