Hosea 1:10

Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Book of Mormon

Alma 51:1-12

2 Nevertheless, they did not long maintain an entire peace in the land, for there began to be a contention among the people concerning the chief judge Pahoran; for behold, there were a part of the people who desired that a few particular points of the law should be altered.

"Covenants With God Strengthen, Protect, And Prepare Us For Eternal Glory"

Jean B. Bingham

Relief Society General President

The spiritual equipment that keeps us from being broken on the rocks of adversity is our testimony of Jesus Christ and the covenants we make. We can rely on these supports to guide and carry us to safety. As our willing partner, the Savior will not allow us to fall beyond His reach. Even in our times of suffering and sorrow, He is there to lift and encourage. His power helps us recover from the often-devastating impact of others' choices. 

James cancelled the concrete he had ordered for today. It was too wet and muddy at the Thompson's and he was afraid the concrete truck would get stuck. Also, one of the Hunsaker workers who was going to help has Covid. Bishop has a concrete order for Thursday and he can help that day. James has an order for Friday but Bishop and Sean can't help on Friday. We will see what the weather does. James stayed to help Gary with his road which was very muddy.

When James got home from the Thompson's, we went to town. It was around 10 a.m. I put in an order for us at Sonic which we picked up before doing anything else. James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to take the fireplace door in to Demer's Glass. Yes, this time he took the door in so when they make the glass for it they can actually install it. It's going to cost us $400. After Demer's James went to Navapache Electric to make sure he had everything right at the Thompson's. His last stop was Home Depot and that's where he was when I called him from Walmart to tell him I was waiting outside.

While I was waiting outside I met someone. A black lady who lit up a cigarette and was very friendly. She was telling me about her grandson turning 10 and how she was going to GameStop to buy him a birthday present. She said she was from Massachusetts but was out here visiting family. Her family owns Sal's and Teresa's Mexican Food. I told her I was going to Texas soon to celebrate my granddaughter's fourth birthday. About that time James came to pick me up. As we were leaving she told me to come by Sal's and Teresa's for taco Tuesday and for margarita's. I just smiled and told her thank you.

On the way home James and I listen to "Edward and Amelia." We stop at the Halcomb's so I can pay Catherine for the veil she got me when she was in Utah. We saw the sunflower field but I'm not taking a picture until the flowers are a little bigger. We also went to the post office and picked up a package from Amazon. Our last stop was at the Wilhelm's. Today is Andy's 18th birthday and we left him a card. He was at work. He works for a construction company in Linden.

James put the perishables away and then asked if we could finish our "Edward and Amelia" chapter. He is more in to these romances than I am!

We got lots of rain this afternoon and it looks like sogginess is beginning to set it. I work on my blog, walk, and read from "Where the Crawdad's Sing." Stacy called and asked when I was coming down again so we could go to the temple. She mentioned her robe was too big and I told her to get one of the new ones, along with a new veil. She said she would and I told her I would come down in September to go to the temple with her.

James has done over 30,000 names indexing this year.
