Jesus Christ, Second Coming

JS-Matthew 1:4

And Jesus left them, and went upon the Mount of Olives. And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be which thou hast said concerning the destruction of the temple, and the Jews; and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world, or the destruction of the wicked, which is the end of the world?

Book of Mormon

Alma 20:1-18

17 But Ammon stood forth and said unto him: Behold, thou shalt not slay thy son; nevertheless, it were better that he should fall than thee, for behold, he has repented of his sins; but if thou shouldst fall at this time, in thine anger, thy soul could not be saved.

"Teaching Self-Reliance to Children and Youth"

Elder Hugo E. Martinez

Of the Seventy

Self-reliance is defined as "the ability, commitment, and effort to provide the spiritual and temporal necessities of life for self and family." Striving to be self-reliant is part of our work along the covenant path that leads us back to Heavenly Father and to His Son, Jesus Christ. It will strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ and joyfully bind us to Him through the covenants and ordinances of salvation and exaltation. Self-reliance is a doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ, not a program. It is a process that lasts a lifetime, not an event.

James left this morning after scriptures, prayer and breakfast. I am home alone again, something I really don't mind. 

I watched a good movie that I've seen before called, "Love Strikes Twice," starring Kate Findlay who is pretty amazing. I watch movies between blogging and listening to "Book of Mormon Central" and while I walk. 

This afternoon I got ready and went into town to do some errands. First stop, the Vernon post office to mail Becky Skousen's sympathy card and to pick up mail. James said we have a yellow card in our box which means mail too big for the box, or a registered letter. James is expecting a $5,700 check from Bob Joye for the concrete pour at the Casa Grande Airport. Thats what we thought was behind the yellow pickup slip, but we were wrong. It was a disappointment when I was handed an Amazon box instead of a registered letter to sign for. In the box were six pairs of black dress socks for James, my magnesium citrate, and lens cleaner and wipes for our glasses. 

After leaving the post office I headed for Dollar General where I bought three frames. Next I drove to the Circle K across from Walmart, got some gas, and got my car washed. I was too lazy to clean the inside but at least the outside looks nice. 

At Walmart I walked in the store the same time as Collin and Wendy DeWitt from our ward. The coolest couple over the age of 70 in the ward. Collin said I looked pretty in pink and then Wendy asked me what happened to Chuck Crane. He came to church on Sunday with his arm in a sling. I told her that he was working on repairing the fence up behind his house and he slipped and fell on a big rock and broke his collar bone. We talked about being old and not being as spry as we once were and then Wendy went on to do her shopping. Colling stayed behind to ask me about James. I told him he was fine and that he was working in Globe today on a house for the Peeler's. 

I did my shopping but was disappointed that the most important thing I came for was no available. I need to get a couple of jars of maraschino cherries for the cherry chip cakes I am making on Friday. Now I have to go to Safeway, which I did and luckily they had some cherries. While I am in the Safeway parking lot before going in to shop, I ordered a thin crust veggie pizza from Dominoes. James's favorite. I stopped and picked it up on the way home and ate a piece on the way. 

James is at home when I arrive and he carries in the groceries for me and eats some of the pizza while standing at the counter. Coudn't even take the time to sit down, that's how good it was.

James found a package on our front porch this evening with a rollon Deep Blue applicator inside. Brian ordered us two types of Deep Blue so we could decide which we liked best. So thoughtful!

James said his neuropathy in his feet is really bothering him tonight. We did some walking and read before going to bed. 

Dark skies today but no rain here. It looked like it was raining hard in New Mexico. The First Presidency came out with a statement about the drought and the importance of conserving water.
