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

Elder Patrick Kearon

Of the Presidency of the Seventy

There is no place for any kind of abuse - physical, sexual, emotional, or verbal - in any home, any country, or any culture. Nothing a wife, child, or husband might do or say make them "deserve" to be beaten. No one, in any country or culture, is ever "asking for" aggression or violence from someone else in authority or by someone who is bigger and stronger.

Prayer with James at 5 a.m. and then I went back to bed until 5:30. 

James passes his inspection today but may have to cancel his pour. Armando is having truck problems and there is no equipment, such as a power screed to rent. 

James came home early this afternoon and the cows were in Luna's water again so he hoped on the Razr and took off. While he was gone it began to rain, and it was a downpour. He came in soaked to the bone and freezing. It's times like this that a hot shower is such a blessing.

I had to do some creative financing in order to Venmo Armando some money for some materials he bought for the Peeler job. 

I went to town this morning.  Sonic for my go-juice and on to the post office to mail Rowan's birthday card. Walmart next. I though Walmart would be rather quiet on a Monday morning but boy was I wrong. Lots of people and thank goodness some kind, tall people. I needed a couple of things off the very top shelf and there was someone there to rescue me both times. One of those items was unflavored gelatin. I bought a box that cost over $14.00. Unflavored gelatin is a substitute for eggs when you are baking. If I make any jar cakes I will use it. Maybe I was a little premature in buying it.

Did I mention that my blood sugar was 130 this morning after fasting for 14 - 16 hours. This is so frustrating. I guess carbs are a thing of the past for me. I could go to the doctor, be diagnosed diabetic and take pills that would allow me to eat some carbs, but I do not want to be on one more medication. At least that's how I feel at the moment.

I began taking some of the 128 cans to the basement. Before I took too many down I had to reorganize some space for them. I moved the Christmas boxes into the hot water heater closet and into the small closet in the storage room and also in Kim & Brian's closet. 

While I was working downstairs I got a Facetime call from Jared, Kacey, and Charlie. Kacey had read my blog and realized I thought Charlie's birthday was on the 29th. It's not on the 29th, it's on the 27th. Boy do I feel embarrassed. Addy's is the 28th and I knew it was one day away from her birthday.

Happy Birthday Molly!
