Jesus Christ, Redeemer
1 Peter 1:18-19
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

"Deepening Our Conversion to Jesus Christ"
Elder Arnulfo Valenzuela
Of the Seventy
The scriptures and our knowledge of God are gifts - gifts that we too often take for granted. Let us cherish these blessings.

When you feel like you have failed too many times to keep trying, remember Christ's Atonement and the grace it makes possible are real.
Restoration Proclamation
#3
In humility, we declare that in answer to his prayer, God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to Joseph and inaugurated the "restitution of all things" (Acts 3:21) as foretold in the Bible. In this vision, he learned that following the death of the original Apostles, Christ's New Testament Church was lost from the earth. Joseph would be instrumental in its return.

Before James left for his radiation appointment we read the Book of Mormon and had family prayer. We also read the introductory paragraph in "Come Follow Me." James said he would read the two chapters from the Saints, or rather listen to it, in the car. I listened while working on my blog and indexing.
I love Deseret Book Plus! I have been trying to buy Anthony Sweat's book, "The Holy Invitation." They are out online I finally decided to check and see if I could find it on Deseret Book Plus, which is similar to Audible but much less expensive. I found it as an e-book, so I can read it, and also as an audio book so I can listen to it. I began listening today!
I watched the GAC Christmas movie lineup. This is a new channel started by the former CEO of Hallmark. There are 12 new Christmas movies. One of them "When Hope Calls" has Lori Loughlin in it. Hallmark would not bring her back, but GAC will.
James is in the trenches today inspite of the wind and the weather, which is in the 50's. He is determined to get these water pipes in so he can bury them and start on Luna's shelter. He did make a tire appointment for my car tomorrow at Walmart. This works perfectly because I can do my weekly shopping while getting new tires.
Trina texted to check on us and I asked her if we could stay with them Friday night after going to the Mesa Temple Open House. She seemed excited. It's been two months since we've seen them and the kids.
While James was outside working Luna kept trying to get his attention. He was ignoring her thinking she just wanted more food until she picked up the water container with her teeth and began shaking it. He went over to look, and sure enough, it was empty. I think this horse has super powers.
James told me when he was working with Ben he told him about all of his aches and pains. Ben said, "Man, it must be really tough being old."
Tonight is "Grease" night on "Dancing with the Stars." I have mixed emotions about "Grease." My kids watched it at Vickie's one time when we were there. I decided then I really didn't want them to see it again. I like parts of it. I liked Sandy, played by Olivia Newton-John, before she "changed." Case closed.
The music and costumes were fun. The story is supposed to take place at Rydell High in the late 50's. The best part of the show for me was Frankie Avalon singing, "Beauty School Dropout." Amanda and Allen danced to the song and Amanda is my favorite contestant right now.
I'm excited to see the Mesa temple again. James and I and all of our kids were married in this temple. On Saturday Sheri and I are going to "The Great Gatsby Bakery" in Gilbert. I've since pictures and even if we just look it will be worth it. But of course we won't just look!
