Alma 23:8-24:6 What helps me keep from being stirred to anger by others? This quote helps me to be more compassionate and forgiving: "Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

Why does the Lord counsel us not to engage in debates and arguments? " Almost always a debate entrenches each contestant and his sympathizers more firmly in the views already held." - Bruce R. McConkie

Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The nature of our obedience to God. More than simply having good intentions, we solemnly commit to live by every word that proceeds forth from the mouth of God. In this, we follow the example of Jesus Christ, who, be being baptized, "showeth unto the children of men that, according to the flesh he humbleth himself before the Father, and witnesseth unto the Father that he would be obedient unto him in keeping His commandments.
Ten Virtues

Civility
Civility carries with it the essence of courtesy, politeness, and consideration of others. All of the education and accomplishments in the world will not count for much unless they are accompanied by marks of gentility, of respect for others, of going the extra mile.

"God Among Us"
I Believe God is among us. I offer myself patience as I allow my failures to Refine Me. I am gathering light into my souls as I Repent and Return Again and Again to Him.
Listened to "Act in Doctrine" and "Follow Him" as part of my "Come Follow Me" study.
When James fed Luna this morning he closed the gate to her corral but he didn't lock it. The reason he did this was because he knew that Aaron's kids wanted to ride her and this would save him from having to catch her in the field. When she saw the gate was closed Luna would over and pushed it open with her nose. She walked out and then walked back in, and then walked out, and back in to finish her breakfast.
James invited Aaron and the kids in at my request. They came in and used the bathroom and then James offered them cake and cookies. They loved both. They also rode Luna.

Aaron and his kids left today saying they were going to go check our Fool's Hollow Lake. We didn't see them again but we think they may have stayed one more night.
James and I made a trip to town this afternoon. We stopped at the Vernon post office where we had lots of packages waiting for us. A pair of Levi's for James, the book I ordered a couple of months ago that was on backorder, "Let God Prevail." A new Celestial journal for my Sunday meetings, two 5x7 spiral notebooks. I fill one of these up every month with notes for my blog, etc. A mattress topper for our bed, two screen protector's for our phones, and two DoodleDazzle markers sets, one for Lola and one for Ruby. Whew! Glad we stopped.
I specifically went into town to get cushions for our outside furniture because the rats have torn ours up making nests. Walmart didn't have any and I decided to measure the ones we have and order them online.
I have been craving another bean burro from Aliberto's so we stopped there on the way out of town. James ordered a fish taco and then he ordered two bean burros, one for me and one for him.
This evening while walking I watched the Suns game. The Suns got beat 116-102. The Clippers knew it was do or die. The series is now 3-2 Suns. The next game is on Wednesday.
My indexing total for the month is now 5,668. Here are some of my notes on names indexed: Isaac Newton, Vincent Grief, Coonrad Swinder. The city was Cleveland, Ohio.
Love my new little Christmas tree
