Are You Still Willing?
Elder Kevin W. Pearson
Of the Seventy
The most powerful spiritual influence in the life of a child is the righteous example of loving parents and grandparents who faithfully keep their own sacred covenants. Intentional parents teach their children faith in the Lord Jesus Christ so that they too "may know to wehat source they may look for a remission of their sins." Casual and inconsistent covenant keeping leads to spiritual casualty. The spiritual damage is often greatest on our children and grandchildren. Parents and grandparents, are we still willing?

Courage To Proclaim The Truth
Elder Denelson Silva
Of the Seventy
The challenges of life can knock us down, but know that when we exercise faith in Jesus Christ, "our afflictions shall be but a small moment" (D&C 121:7) in the grand scope of eternity. Please do not create a deadline for the end of your difficulties and challenges. Trust in Heavenly Father and do not give up, for if we do give up, we will never know how the end of our journey would have been in the kingdom of God.

100 Favorite Verses - "A Sure Foundation"
Helaman 5:12
And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Up at 5 this morning. It was cold and rainy today, half the sky was cloud and the other half the sun was shining. It reminds me of what Pierce said once: "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change."

I spent the morning studying the gospel and working on my blog. I did two blog posts and watched Emily and her friend from high school and college on Inklings. The talk we are discussing is "The Virtue of the Word" by Elder Eddy. It was a great discussion about scripture and prayer to get closer to God.

For lunch I made green chili meat and beans which we ate with corn tortilla chips. After lunch I was in the bedroom when James came in and said he was leaving. When I asked him where he was going, he said to the Crane's. Chuck had called and asked if he would come over and help Collin to give them each a blessing. 

James put on a white shirt and tie, Sunday pants and shoes. I told him I didn't think Collin would be dressed up but he said that didn't matter, that this is what he was taught, when you perform a priesthood ordinance you dress appropriately. 

Stacy is trying to sell my life insurance policy. I took pictures of the policy and sent them to her. I told James that whatever we get from the policy, if we sell it, he can have to put towards his truck. 

James ask me to go into town with him this afternoon. He picked up the title to his truck at Desert Title and sent it to the insurance company so he can get his check from them to buy another truck.
While we were in town we looked at a couple of trucks. One was white and the other was red, the only two colors of cars/trucks that I like. Both were too much but maybe with the life insurance policy money we could afford them. We shall see.

This evening I walked and watched Reba and then James came in and we listened to Hitler in our book. He's the devil.
