"Valiant Discipleship In The Latter Days"

Elder Jorg Klebingat

Of the Seventy

We can accept and respect others without endorsing their beliefs or actions that do not align with the Lord's will. There is no need to sacrifice truth on the altar of agreeableness and social desirability.

 Darrel and Trina's kids started school today, everyone except Addy, who is living her best life until college starts the end of August.

We got more rain today. Heavenly Father is certainly blessing us and answering our prayers.

Before taking a trip to town today we picked up a check from Brother Peeler. We took the truck because we are picking up a new dishwasher for the Peeler's. James dropped me off at Walmart just before a downpour of rain began. I could hear it pounding on Walmart's metal roof. 

I am in to my August budget but since I am feeding the missionaries tomorrow night I need to buy some food. I bought two roasts just in case Tanna and her boyfriend come. Stuff for a salad, frozen corn and the ingredients I needs for my strawberry cake, and some BlueBell ice cream. James got here in time to help me checkout. We were both shocked to see that our total was over $300! So much for slim pickins' for the rest of the month. Hopefully I won't have to buy too many groceries in the next couple of weeks. 

On the way home we listened to "A Dreaming Beauty." We both like this book. When I got home the first thing I did was put the ice cream in the freezer. Just as I got all of the groceries put away, the electricity went off, again. This is the third time in a week. James put the ice cream in the big freezer in the garage because he said it would keep it colder. We went and sat outside on the front porch where it is 60 degrees. 

Today I watched Book of Mormon Central "Come Follow Me". Joy D. Jones, who is one of my all-time favorite conference speakers when she was the General Primary President, was a guest. She was great. She invited someone who does rock art on to join her and this sister made this likeness of Esther going before King Ahasuerus and him extending the golden scepter to her.

I love this!

I also watched three Christmas movies:

1. The Spruces and the Pines

"Home isn't where you hang your hat, it's where you hang your heart." 

2. A Christmas Star starring Daniel Lissing

3. Double Holiday starring Kristopher Polaha

"Who's in your kitchen? Is that "fancy suit guy"?

When I lived at 3022 E. Garfield in Phoenix,

our kitchen and the furniture looked almost

exactly like this.
