Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Those who deliberately choose wickedness, who consciously procrastinate repentance, or who in any premeditated or knowing way break the commandments, planning for easy repentance, will be judged by God and a "bright recollection of all their guilt." We cannot knowingly sin on Saturday, then expect automatic forgiveness by partaking of the sacrament on Sunday. To missionaries or others who say following the Spirit means not having to obey mission standards or the commandments, please remember that obeying mission standards and the commandments invite the Spirit. We should none of us put off repentance. The blessings of repentance begin as we begin to repent.

John 5:39
Search the scriptures, for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
I actually got up at 4:30 this morning! Yay!
James has been texting Michael about giving Fernie a Book of Mormon. Michael says she needs one in Spanish. James says he thinks he has one in his truck, but I question the condition of it so I am going to order her one.
James left for town quite early this morning to get the oil changed in my car and to get himself some pomegranate juice. About 30 or 40 minutes after he left I got a phone call from him. He said, "You are going to hate me." I said, "Why"? He said, and I already knew it in my heart, because I forgot my wallet. I told him I would bring it to him, and I did. I told him to meet me at the Y but he went passed the Y and I didn't see him but he saw me and told me to turn around because I just passed him. I gave him his wallet and sadly he turned around and went back to town.
I was surprised that my oil change was $62.88, about ten dollars more expensive than last time. The entire bill with groceries and the oil change was $102.68. Then, on the way home, James stopped at Nature's Realm which is a health food store and bought some supplements which cost over $84.00.
In other news, I just happened to see on Facebook that Talon Wilhelm and his girlfriend Abby got married.
I told James I would make him some lunch before I left for the temple this afternoon. I have had a butternut squash since the last of December and It was starting to look wrinkled. It took me about 20 minutes to get the onions and squash cut up and get everything in the pot including arborio rice which is used to make risotto. I am making butternut squash risotto. I didn't have any vegetable brother so I used chicken broth and it was a little salty. It took about 40 minutes because the rice was creamy. It had a great taste but I agree with James, it was a little salty. I told him I would make mushroom risotto next time and would use vegetable broth. Because of his cancer James wants to eat mostly vegetables and whole grains.
I left for the temple at 1:20. I have an initiatory appointment at 2:30 and the session is at 3:30. It rained on my most of the way but it wasn't raining at the temple. I did five names in initiatory, including the one I am doing the endowment for who is one of Nannie's relatives, Margaret E. Walker. I gave Ruth the name I had of Ruth Wallace's, the last name being Vornkahl. I should have brought some cough drops because I had a scratchy throat that made me cough. One of the sisters in initiatory gave me a cough drop and Ruth gave me another.
Kim Mattice was the officiator in our session. He was my grandparents accountant. His wife was the sister officiating in our session. After our session we agreed to meet at Ava's for dinner. It was cold outside as I walked back to my car.
Ruth ordered a taco salad and I had a chicken enchilada with rice and beans. Ruth thanked me for the flower card I had sent her for her birthday. She wondered how I knew it was her birthday. She told me that her son Val is a bishop in Chandler and is also the Fire Chief in Chandler. Valeen, who now lives in Texas, is excited because they think they have a buyer for their house in San Tan.
After saying goodbye to Ruth I drove home in the rain and then the snow.
After we finished walking we went to bed around 9 o'clock. James is getting up early to go to the valley tomorrow.
