Jesus Christ, Relationships with the Father
Luke 23:35
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

"Trust Again"
Elder Gerrit W. Gong
My message today is, whether we are coming home or going home, God is coming to meet us. In Him we can find faith and courage, wisdom and discernment to trust again. Likewise, He asks us to keep the light on for each other, to be more forgiving and less judgmental of ourselves and each other, so His Church can be a place where we feel at home, whether we are coming for the first time or returning.

Kim and Brian decided to wait until tomorrow to come and visit.
Kim says she needed a "down day" after Thanksgiving. I understand that because I kind of needed one too.

James talked me into going to town with him. I had told him I needed to get ready for Kim and Brian to come but when they said they weren't coming until tomorrow I had no reason not to go. 
Our first stop was at Empire Cat. James had called ahead and they had a box ready for him to pick up. The FedEx store was right across the street and I wished I had brought the package still sitting on my front porch. No one ever came to pick it up.

We went to Sonic and each of us got a corndog. We then drove to Walmart where James went in and got some juice. Afterwards we went through the Panda drive-thru to get some chow mein so we could have stirfry for dinner.

On the way home from town as we were listening to "The Magic of Starlight" Kacey sent out a text on our family feed with this picture:

Kacey opened a can of worms with this photo. Jared was teased by his siblings and their spouses. I told him he should not bring that jacket when he came to Arizona. Kacey likes it so I guess he will keep it. 


James and I watched a new Christmas movie on Netflix today. It's called "A Castle for Christmas" starring Brooke Shields and Carey Ewell from Princess Bride. I liked the movie and the music!

James brought up the Christmas tree but didn't put it up because Brian and Kim are coming up tomorrow to put it up and decorate it. He did hang both of the wreaths.
