"Steady In The Storms"

President Henry B. Eyring

Second Counselor in the First Presidency

 I bear you my solemn witness that the Lord Jesus Christ has given you the invitation "Come unto me." He invites you, out of love for you and for those you love, to come to Him for peace in this life and eternal life in the world to come. He knows perfectly the storms you will face in your test as part of the plan of happiness.

James said I woke up in the middle of the night and said: 

"Have you seen the necklace I bought? I can't find it." I have no idea what I was talking about, but I do remember doing this.

James and Greg leave for Globe this morning. James empties the dishwasher before he leaves. Thank you, honey.

Catherine Halcomb and I attended the 11:00 endowment session at the Snowflake temple this morning. Our friend Barbara Bartels is there and we sit by her. Maxine, who is usually here didn't come today, but she gave us two of her names to do. 

On the way home Catherine and I stop at our favorite after the temple restaurant, Sonic. Catherine always reminds me that Sonic started in Oklahoma, her home state. Catherine buys us lunch, two diet cherry limeades, an All-American hot dog for Catherine, and a chicken slinger for me. I should have paid for the drinks because I could have gotten them half price and they come to over $6. Next time.

After dropping Catherine off I go to the post office. I got Addy's scrapbook and now I just need to wait for the decals I ordered to take it to her in Flagstaff. 

I got a text from Sheri asking if I would be coming down on Friday. She wanted someone to go to Nancy's grandson's funeral with her. I told her I would talk to dad and get back with her. I would like to go but if James can't go with me, I don't know if I trust myself to not fall asleep.

Stacy called and said that Joshua is in a play next week. She says he has a really big part in one of the scenes and would like for us to come if we can. I talked to James and we will have to see. Stephanie Likes, someone who went to school with Stacy and Paul, is the theater teacher. Stephanie's been in some commercials herself, and her son is starring on Broadway right now.

James worked outside on the yard this afternoon when he got home from Globe. He is like the energizer bunny, always going and going.

James loved the "Love's Portrait" movie so much he agreed to watch "Marry Me in Yosemite" with me. We started watching it but only got about halfway through before we had to stop and go to bed.

I am grateful for uplifting, happy ending movies.
