To be truly life-changing, conversion to Jesus Christ must involve our whole soul and permeate every aspect of our lives. This is why it must be focused at the center of our lives - our families and homes.


Ten Virtues
#9
Optimism
My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life, we "accentuate the positive." I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.

Inklings
"One look into His eyes and we would never be the same. We would be forever changed. Transformed by the profound realization that, indeed, God is among us."
-Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I listened to Scripture Gems and Unshaken this morning as part of my Come Follow Me study. at 7:30 Sheri and I left to go shopping at Walmart. We wanted to go early to beat the crowds. Before leaving I read from the Book of Mormon and had prayer with James. 

When we were finished with our shopping at Walmart we went across the street to Circle K for gas and drinks. I told Sheri we needed to go home through Lakeside because the parade in Show Low would slow us down. 

After the groceries were unloaded and put away I began cutting up the London Broil I had taken out of the freezer. Cammy gave me a recipe that I want to try. She also gave me canned beans and onion soup mix to use. After the steak was cut into bite-sized pieces I put it in the crockpot and added two onion soup mixes and some water. 

I went into the bed and after a short rest I wrapped the gifts I got for Lola and the one Sheri got. I got her a Barbie farm set and a pink watch. Sheri got her a bracelet making kit.


Orchard Sweet Barbie,
she is a veterinarian

James gets the big ladder and sets it up in front of the fireplace. As if we didn't have enough chaos already. Ruby holds the ladder while he climbs up and puts some caulking in the cracks where he thinks the bats might be coming in and roosting. While Ruby is holding the ladder, she sees the bat flying around upstairs. This just motivates James to keep caulking. I'm worried he's going to fall and wish he would hurry up and finish. 

For dinner Sheri grilled steaks and made homemade rolls. The green chili meat burros with Sister Gramma Grapp's homemade bottled beans and delicious. 

I made Lola a little cake using my new 6 inch pans. While I'm frosting the cake Sheri and the girls take the dogs outside for a walk. Lola has Ziggie and she moves out ahead of Ollie and says: "Come on Ziggie, it's your time to shine."

After dinner we have a little birthday party for Lola. She giggles when Ben acts like he's taking her presents.
