"Lovest Thou Me More Than These?"
President M. Russell Ballard
Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Last October, President Russell M. Nelson taught us the importance of putting Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ first in our lives. President Nelson taught us that one meaning of the word Israel is "let God prevail."
He asked each of us these questions: "Are you willing to let God prevail in your life? Are you willing to let God be the most important influence in your life? Will you allow His words, His commandments, and His covenants to influence what you do each day? Will you allow His voice to take priority over any other? Are you willing to let whatever He needs you to do take precedence over every other ambition? Are you willing to have your will swallowed up in His?" We must always remember that our true happiness depends upon our relationship with God, with Jesus Christ, and with each other.

Up at 5:30 this morning. We have something everyday this week until Friday. Today we are going to the temple with Ruth Gale. James and I both felt lousy this morning and took naps before noon. I am behind on my blog and need to do two posts a day or I will never catch up. Because of technical difficulties my blog posts are taking much longer than they should. I did manage to mop the kitchen floor.
James did some indexing and worked on income taxes. He asked me if I made any money in books last year. I told him I didn't think I did but when I looked it up I had taken in over $1,660.00. I know it was a lost but I hadn't bought any books since October so the loss didn't show for this year.
We left for the temple at 2:30 for the 3:30 session. Ruth was already in the endowment room when we walked in. There were 8 sisters and 4 brothers. Something exciting happened when we walked in the temple doors that I forgot to mention. I did not have a mask on but the brother at the recommend desk said they were optional. He said this was the first session that they had received word that masks were optional. It was so refreshing to see everyone without their masks.
After our session we went outside and showed Ruth where Green's Peak was so she could get an idea where Vernon was. She said she was surprised and thought it was in the opposite direction.
We had dinner at Eva's. Ruth had a taco salad, James had a green burro with green sauce and I had a green burro with red sauce. We saw Chuck and Pam Wood and talked with them for a few minutes and I introduced Pam to Ruth. James told Ruth stories about Pete the Crow and about have an egg farm. Ruth seemed to enjoy the stories. Right now in her ward she is teaching Primary. She also has a FHE group that meets at her house every week. We said our goodbyes and headed back to Vernon.
I watched the movie, "The Presence of Love" starring Eloise Mumford. James watched most of it with me.
I got a new book today called, "Antifragile."
