"Behold! I Am a God of Miracles"
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The Lord performs miracles to remind us of His power, His love for us, His reach from the heavens to our mortal experience, and His desire to teach of that which is of most worth. "He that hath faith in me to be healed," He said to the Saints in 1831, and the promise continues today, "and is not appointed unto death, shall be healed." There are laws decreed in the heavens, and we are always subject to them.

Two hundred years ago, on a beautiful spring morning in 1820, young Joseph Smith, seeking to now which church to join, went into the woods to pray near his home in upstate New York, USA. He had questions regarding the salvation of his soul and trusted that God would direct him.

I am in a lot of pain when I first get up in the morning. The first thing I do is get something to eat and take my tramadol pills. Since yesterday and my fall, I've been taking aspirin too. 

Sister Elmer is so understanding and has never asked me to get a substitute. I told her I really wanted to be there tomorrow but I did not think I was going to be able to make it. James will be coming so that made Brother Elmer happy.

I got a call from Frances who works at the office where I get my infusions. She said they were going to have to cancel my appointment on Monday because they did not receive any Actemra. Wow! This has never happened before. We will see what happens.

James needed to run off a copy of his permits for the LaCroix job but he couldn't find them. I finally remembered and told him to go to the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen and click on them. Go to history. He found it and was able to make copies. He was so happy and said I saved him hours of time. Glad I could help.

James is racking up the doctor's appointments for his treatments. My goodness, so much to do. 

I read from "God Will Prevail" and I am loving it so much!  I also listened to Emily on Inklings for this week's discussion. The message was about Light. I also listened to "Teaching with Power" while working on my blog. 

It rained again today and there was lots of thunder. I finished another season of "The Great British Baking Show". 

My friends the Halcomb's, Catherine and Kerri came by for a visit this afternoon. They brought me a birthday card and a bouquet of flowers. 

So beautiful!
You can't really see them in this photo but there are marbles or as
Catherine called them, "jewels" in the bottom of the vase. Catherine said that's because I am her jewel.  She is such a sweetie!

James made and brought me dinner this evening, chili, cornbread and a shrimp or two from his plate. We also finished off the last of the Texas sheetcake. It's something that both of us like.

 We listened to several chapters of "Cecelia's Celebration." James went to bed around 9 because he is getting up early in the morning to go to the temple. I'm still in a lot of pain and will be staying home. 

Today is Charlie's actual 3rd birthday. It looks like she celebrated with her family at home.
