Moroni 4:3

O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it; that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

And They Sought To See Jesus Who He Was

Elder James W. McConkie III

Of the Seventy

We often felt like the "short of stature" Zacchaeus running to climb a sycamore tree as Jesus passed through Jericho because, as Luke described it, we "sought to see Jesus who he was." It was not Jesus as we wanted or wished Him to be, but rather Jesus as He really was and is. Just as Elder Wirthlin had promised, we learned in a very real way that "the gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of transformation. It takes us as men and women of the earth and refines us into men and women for the eternities."

Building A Life Resistant To The Adversary

Elder Jorge F. Zeballos

Of the Seventy

How blessed we are to count on a knowledge of the plan of salvation created by our Heavenly Father, to have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and to rely on the inspired direction of living prophets! All the former constitute the divinely designed "plans" and the "technical specifications" that teach us clearly how to construct happy lives - lives that are resistant to sin, resistant to temptation, resistant to attacks from Satan, who is desperately seeking to frustrate our eternal destiny to be together with our Heavenly Father and with our beloved families.

Up at 5:15 - To be late, arise late. Must do better.

Jared made the announcement that he saw that Trey Bashas was called as a mission president. He will be serving in the Roseville, California mission. Not bad for someone who was raised Catholic.

James's knee is still swollen and giving him grief.  He went over to Barbara's and did some Cat work so that the mobile home company can come in and set the home on the lot. 

I watched "Drop Dead Diva" because Hallmark has made the entire series available. I think it was filmed in 2010. Guest appearances by Paula Abdul, Rosie O'Donnell, Cybil Shepherd, and Brook Burns, so far. 

I put away Christmas today except, of course, the tree. There are still a few blankets in the blanket basket that I need to carry downstairs. Kim and Brian are coming for James's birthday and they will take down the tree. I also did some cleaning in one of the Christmas closets and got a big load to take to Goodwill. 

It was a nice day, weather wise, but we still haven't heard from Dr. Powell regarding James's procedure last Friday. I guess St. Joseph's is way behind in their lab work and they are way over-crowded. It is still frustrating.

I asked James to check our propane level. When he came back in he said: "The last time I checked it, it was at 30%, today it is at 0%. Yikes! We have Darrel's family coming tomorrow and I don't want to be out of propane! James said he would order it first thing in the morning as it was too late today.

Listened to Inklings today. We talked about Sister Craig's talk, "Wholehearted." Emily is friends with Sister Craig and she told us that she is an Inkling and listens in every week.

Even though James's knee hurts he is still insisting on getting his 10,000 steps. This is very frustrating to me!
