Our Earthly Stewardship

Bishop Gerald Causse

Presiding Bishop

First principle: The entire earth, including all life thereon, belongs to God.

The Creator has entrusted the earth's resources and all forms of life to our care, but He retains full ownership. He said, "I, the Lord, stretched out the heavens, and built the earth, my very handiwork; and all things therein are mine." All that is on the earth belongs to God, including our families, our physical bodies, and even our very lives.

3 Nephi 9:15

Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father, and the Father in me, and in me hath the Father glorified his name.

James and I both slept in this morning. By the time we got up Darrel and his family were gone. They are going snowboarding at Sunrise, going back home tonight and then taking Addy to Flagstaff tomorrow. I showed them how they could spend the night here and then take Addy to Flagstaff from here and save three hours travel time. Darrel said it wouldn't work because Addy has so much stuff to take back they couldn't get it in the car with all of their stuff.

James's knee is making him miserable and depressed. Today was the day we were going to clean the church and he didn't know how he was going to be able to do anything. Now we don't have to because our friends the Allen's cleaned it for us yesterday. We are so grateful. The Thompson's were supposed to help clean too. They are a couple of years older than we are and Maxine said they wanted to be taken off the cleaning list because they felt like the younger people should do it. 

James did manage to work at Barbara's a little today. While he was out working Barbara's ministering brother, Brother Hipps who lives nearby came over to help. He and James had a nice visit. I guess his first wife died when she was 49 and he was heartbroken. He also had a bout with cancer. He wouldn't do chemo or radiation so they did surgery and took away a good part of his stomach and he has not been back to the doctors since. 

I took a long nap this afternoon. For some reason I am exhausted. I did manage to get my 12,000 steps and I also made a trip to Dollar General for bread and milk. There was a long line at the store. The guy in front of me said he was buying snacks so he could hunker down and wait out the storm that was coming. 

Trina texted and said they had a good day until the electricity went off. She also said that Lola took one run down the bunny hill and that was it for her. She stayed in the lodge and ate while each one of them took turns staying with her.

I remember that bunny hill.

It's brutal.

I made baked potatoes for dinner because James said the other day he would like one. They were quite tasty although I only ate half of mine.

This evening I watched the new wedding veil movie, round two, movie two with Emma and Paulo. Emma is played by Autumn Reeser and she is my favorite.
