Jesus Christ, Second Coming

Revelations 2:16

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Book of Mormon

Alma 30:12-28

19 Now this man went over to the land of Jershon also, to preach these things among the people of Ammon, who were once the people of the Lamanites.

20 But behold they were more wise than many of the Nephites; for they took him, and bound him, and carried him before Ammon, who was a high priest over that people.

"He Is Risen With Healing In His Wings: We Can Be More Than Conquerors"

Elder Patrick Kearon

Of the Presidency of the Seventy

To Those Who Are Surviving

. . . I want to speak directly to those who feel as though there is no way out of their own survival story because of the trauma inflicted by the cruel actions of others. If this is your survival story, we weep with you. We yearn for you to overcome the confusion, shame, and fear, and we long for you, through Jesus Christ, to conquer.

James's aches this morning as he wakes up: neuropathy in one foot, internal pain, congestion, and his back.

James and I went to town this morning to get the oil changed in the truck. We left a little after 7 because we weren't exactly sure when Walmart's Auto Center opened. We stopped on the way to town at the Thompson's where James has had water running on the area where he is pouring the pad for their new home. He wanted to check the moisture level and to tell Gary to keep it watered. They have not gotten any rain in their area. The live about 8 miles from us.

James drops me off in front of Walmart while he takes the truck around to the auto center. Walmart always says they have no more bulk oil and they have to take oil off the grocery shelf and then they charge $20 more than the listed price for an oil change. They did it again today and James was pretty upset, but what could he do?

I got two t-shirts for a total of $4 today. I got some mascara and everything I bought after that was unnecessary snacks. James walked to Home Depot to get some drywall mud for the Peeler's. In Walmart he picks out a watermelon, and some pomegranate juice. After Walmart James had to go to Lowe's to take back something and I waited in the car. I guess there was quite a line because I waited a good 20 minutes.

On the way to the Show Low post office to mail Palmer's birthday card and one other bill, James stopped at Circle K to get me a drink.

He came back with a XXtra large. It was so big it took two hands to lift it out of the carrier. He is always trying to impress me. Such a sweetie.

We had an early dinner, or a late lunch. James grilled the steaks I got. I made some baked potatoes and corn and heated up the baked beans I made yesterday and walla, a nice dinner. It was delicious.

James went on a Luna ride this afternoon/evening. I think it is one of the ways he relaxes, and looks for elk.

Some other things I did today, worked on my "Don't Miss This" workout where I listed the heroes for this week's lesson. Here are the heroes: Elisha, the "pour out woman", the "great" woman, and the "Little Maid" and the servant. As I have studied this lesson I think I could explain the story behind each of these heroes. I learned that "out of small things proceedeth that which is great". It's one of my "take aways" from this lesson.

I watched a few Christmas movies while walking and blogging, "Nantucket Noel", "A Christmas Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Colorado" and my favorite, "The Christmas Waltz" starring Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp who are so great together. I loved watching them dance!
