First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency

"Out of Small Things Proceedeth That Which Is Great"

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jersus taught His disciples, "Ye are the salt of the earth" and "Ye are the light of the world." Later He compared the growth of the kingdom of heaven to leaven, "which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

Salt, Leaven, Light. Even in very small amounts, each affects everything around it. The Savior invites us to use His power to be as salt, leaven, and light.

If we had not been released, we would be working at the temple this morning. I miss my friends at the temple and the peaceful feeling I have when I am there.

The saga of the fireplace glass continues. I held the glass while James sanded it down. I was praying the entire time that it wouldn't break or crack. The hard part came when James tried to install the insulation rope with the glass. I thought he had it tightened down so I went back to the bedroom and my computer. All of a sudden I heard James shouting, "Oh, No!" Sure enough, when I went back in he had broken the glass. This is the third glass he has broken. He was heart broken. I tried to calm him down and I think it helped for him to know that I wasn't upset.

 I listened to some old Marty Robbins songs today while I was working on my blog. James was gone to pickup the Cat from the Klug's and take it to the Thompson's. I happened to look at the window as I was making a trip to the kitchen and saw some cows out in the front. Just as James drove up I was driving the cows. I didn't want them to, but they went up the hill. I really don't care where they go as long as I don't have to look at them anymore. They left three cow pies by the front of our house, and chewed all the grass by the garage and left huge cow tracks. Grrrr.

Just as it started to rain James and I left for town. We stopped at Sonic and then went to Safeway to pick up the walnuts that James left there. Someone had turned them in. As we left Safeway it was raining hard. James brought the car to the front of the store to pick me up so I didn't have to run through the rain. 

It wasn't raining at Walmart when we went out to pick up my Tramadol but by the time we got to Goodwill it was raining hard.

All of the items I had to donate were in plastic garbage bags. James just handed them to the guy at the door and we left.

Today was Heather Slade's funeral. It was at the downtown chapel in Show Low where my mom's funeral was held and where I attended church as a youth. I didn't go to the funeral but Tamara did. Here is a picture of Heather's daughters:

Heather's obituary

I watched two movies today, one I have seen before and the last one was a new one. The first was "Moonlight in Vermont" starring Lacey Chabert and Carlo Marks. Lacey play a hot shot real estate agent in New York whose boyfriend breaks up with her because she is so busy she doesn't have time for him. Lacey is talking to her best friend about her recent breakup:

"Every relationship I'm in just falls apart. What if I'm alone permanently. What if I'm like that little half duplex that just sits on the market forever."

A line from the second movie, "Romance in Style":

"Unfurrow your brow and cut to the chase."

I'm dying to use this line on someone!

Clouds
