King Benjamin's prophetic words are applicable to us in our day. He knew from his own experience the terrors of war. He had defended his people in combat, relying on the power of God. He saw clearly the terrible powers of Lucifer to tempt, to try to overcome, and to discourage God's children.

He invited his people and us to build on the only sure rock of safety, who is the Savior. He made clear that we are free to choose between right and wrong and that we cannot avoid the consequences of our choices. He spoke directly and sharply because he knew what sorrow would come to those who might not hear and heed his warnings.

James left for Globe again this morning after our family prayer. It is critical for me to pray for his safety so I can put my trust in the Lord with confidence that He will take care of him. James took Deven Crane with him to Globe to work. Deven is one of the priests in our ward and he was excited when James told him he earned $110 today.

I finished reviewing a batch of new Jersey birth records, 71 entries and then started another one. It feels good to be back to indexing.

I read an article this morning on Meridian Magazine by Sarah Heinze. "On Friday, June 24th, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the nearly fifty-year-old decision of Roe V. Wade, thereby sending decisions on abortion restrictions back to the states. It is being called the most monumental judicial event of our time." (In Remembrance of the Unborn, Sarah Heinze 7/5/22).

The following is for my grandchildren who feel that the overturning of Roe vs. Wade is an injustice perpetrated against women. 

"Who we are is a soul, and the soul has knowledge, and wisdom, and can communicate. It has a life of its own. You can't kill it by having an abortion. You can make a course change, or postpone its coming, but basically, its operating in a spiritual dimension..., and in that dimension (before birth), it is no surprise that a soul can think and plan and even have a purpose for being with a certain mother or a certain family.

Brent and Sarah Hinze have written a couple of books:

"Life Before Life"

"The Castaways: New Evidence Supporting the 

Rights of the Unborn Child"

I went shopping this afternoon in Show Low, leaving the house around 1:30 and returning around 4, which seems like record time for me. Normally it takes me at least 3 hours. My first stop was Sonic for a Happy Hour 1/2 price drink then on to the Show Low post office to mail Jared Ammon's birthday card. I took the "shortcut" to Walmart but before going to Walmart I stopped at the Circle K across the street to fill up with gas. 

My friend, Tamara, said they fed the missionaries ribeye steak then on Facebook Sherry Cosper said she and her kids had steak, corn on the cob, baked potato, and baked beans for the 4th of July. Now I want that meal! I found the ribeye steaks but I couldn't find any corn on the cob. I guess the 4th of July crowd wiped it out. I remembered I had a bag of corn in the freezer and could use that. I got everything I needed to make The Pioneer Woman baked beans, and got a bag of potatoes to make baked potatoes. James is supposed to get a watermelon on the way home. Watermelon sounds like the perfect dessert for this meal. I also got some croissants because James likes them better than rolls.

Before leaving the Walmart parking lot I stopped at Panda and got a couple of chow mein bowls with Bejing beef for dinner. I got home around 4 and James got home around 5. We actually ate dinner together and we both had leftovers for tomorrow. 

I stopped at the post office in Vernon on the way home. I have a package from a Lambson with $2.94 due so I went back to the car to get my purse to pay for it. It was a card kit from Dawn. She is inviting me to join her, Lois, Laura, Cathi, Rebecca, Connie, and Carmen via Zoom on Friday to work on cards and visit. This is the second kit she has sent. On my way out of the post office I spoke with my friends Shelly and Tamara Applegate. Shelly is a former young woman of mine who has come home to live for awhile. She just got her hair cut and it looked so cute I had to comment on it. She said she's getting ready to be a bridesmaid on Saturday for our mutual friend Shaelyn Smith who is getting married. Tamara talked to me a little about the recent ministering changes we made and said she was going to try to finalize them with the bishop tonight. 

Stacy called to tell me that her car broke down on her today. This is not good because she has been delivering meals for Grub Hub to help make their rent since Jared Ammon and Michael have both moved out. She now can't make deliveries and doesn't have the money to get her car fixed. It's a double whammy. If I lived closer she could borrow my car. She called Kim to see if she could use her car only to find out that Joe drives it now.

This evening I walked and blogged while James indexed and then he came in and walked with me while we listened to our new book, "Games in a Ballroom."

Old-Time Chandler friend.
