Jesus Christ, Second Coming

Jude 1:14

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 

Book of Mormon

Alma 27:1-15

...the Lord said unto him:

12 Get this people out of this land, that they perish not; for Satan has great hold on the hearts of the Amalekites, who do stir up the Lamanites to anger against their brethren to slay them; therefore get thee out of this land; and blessed are this people in this generation, for I will preserve them.

"Following Jesus: Being A Peacemaker"

Elder Neil L. Andersen

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

What gives us the inner strength to cool, calm, and quench the fiery darts aimed toward the truths we love? The strength comes from our faith in Jesus Christ and our faith in HIs words.

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, . . . and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

"... For great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

"Is The Plan Working"?

Elder Ochoa

Matthew 14

James and Owen Peeler left for Globe around 6 a.m. Their goal is to get rid of the popcorn ceilings in the Peeler's home in Globe. 

It went faster than they predicted and James was home by 3 p.m. I guess they were using spray bottle and it was going to slow so James brought in the hose and it went much faster. Keep in mind that their is no flooring on the floor, only concrete.

We had a steady rainstorm most of the afternoon and evening. It was great and we ended up with a gorgeous rainbow!

It was actually a double rainbow

Sheri and the boys arrived home to the Phoenix airport at 11:30 last night after 30 hours of traveling. Sheri texted me today and I asked her why she wasn't sleeping. She said she had too much to do after being gone for two weeks.

I pointed out to James how we were beginning to look like a junk yard with stuff behind the shed, the old wood piles, and stuff on the other side of the well house. He said he would take care of it.

I indexed today because I am finally all caught up on my blog. My friend Maxine does family history work all day long, everyday and then on Tuesday she goes and does an endowment session and then does sealings afterwards with her husband Gary and their friend Barbara and Fred Klug. She said to me the other night at presidency meeting, "Yeah, but that's all I do." I said, "What could you do that would be more important?"

I loved seeing Kacey and Autumn's photos from their 4th of July celebration especially since we didn't do anything. We watched a movie tonight. I had taped some movies from the Turner Classic Movies channel and this was a John Wayne movie so I thought James might enjoy it. The movie's title: "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon." It was filmed here in Arizona in Monument Valley and at the Vermillion Cliffs which you could see in the background. Too much shooting for me but I think James enjoyed it.
