When Christ physically visited the Nephites at their temple, His invitation was not to stand at a distance and look upon Him, but to touch Him, to feel for themselves the reality of the Savior of humankind. How can we draw close enough to gain a personal witness of Jesus Christ?
James left early this morning for Glendale. We had prayer before he left and then I went back to bed. When I got up I realized I forgot to write about something that happened on Saturday and Sunday so I am going to include it here.
James was asked by the missionaries on Saturday afternoon if he would go with them to visit Joe Vaal. Of course he said yes. He went and when he got there the missionaries were leaving. They said that Joe was too busy to visit with them. He was working in his back yard on his garden. James decided to go back and say hi. He said he visited for quite awhile with Joe. Joe was wanting to plant beets but said they were sold out everywhere he went. James told him he had a package of seeds at home and would bring them over later, which we did. Joe was so grateful and thankful that James would come all this way just to bring him a package of beet seeds. He lives over 10 miles away.
Saturday after Barbara and Terry's wedding I went to Dollar General to looks for things to make their cake look nice. While I was standing in line to check out I saw a package of beet seeds and I bought them thinking James would want them to replace the ones he gave to Joe. When he saw the package he got so excited and said, "Oh we can take these to Joe too!"
Needless to say that Sunday afternoon we made another trip over to Joe's to take him another package of beet seeds. Maybe he will share his harvest with us. Joe's backyard is amazing with grow boxes filled with plants. His place is well cared for even though he is 90 years old and his feet are crippled.
I drove up to the auto center at exactly 9 a.m. this morning to get new tires. There was a long line of cars waiting to have their oil changed and the little man helping them motioned to me to roll my window down and told me to go to lane 4. A few minutes later he came over to help me. What a nice, pleasant man, probably my age.
Anyway I left the car and he said he would text me when it was finished. After I left I realized he probably had James's number, not mine. So I alerted James.
I finished my shopping just about the same time that the car was ready. That's why I like coming to Walmart, I can kill two birds with one stone.
Before going home I went to Dairy Queen to get a cherry Dilly bar. I asked if I could buy a box and they didn't have any. Disappointment #1. I asked for a cherry dipped cone and was told they no longer make them. Disappointment #2. Okay, could I have a small chocolate dipped cone. Yes, that will be $4.31. Yikes! For an ice cream cone? Oh my, Disappointment #3. At least the ice cream was enjoyable.
I went to get gas at Circle K using my Easypay card which gives me a ten cent per gallon discount. Woopee that makes up for that expensive ice cream cone. (Not)
When I got home and put groceries away I put on an episode of Aurora Teagarden while I had my rest time. I also started a new puzzle, the Love Stamp puzzle.
Stacy and Paul went to take Jared Ammon to check in at the recovery center only to find out that there were no beds available. They have to come back on Monday. A bit of a setback.
James called around 2:30. He said he was on his way home. He had a blowout on the freeway. He hit a piece of metal off of another vehicle. I wonder if he was following too close. This is his third blowout on the freeway coming home from Glendale.
When he opened his door to get out to get the jack he noticed he was over the white line and people were honking at him. He couldn't figure out how to unlock the rack that the spare was in. Suddenly he noticed a truck pulling a trailer pull over in front of him and two hispanic men jump out of the truck. One of them had a big jack and began jacking up the front of the truck. The other one came back and showed James the key inside of his fob to unlock the rack for the spare. Within a few minutes the tire was changed. James asked if he could pay them and one of them said, "We didn't do this for money." He thanked them and they were on their way. I am grateful for good Samaritans in real life and so is James.
I watched "The Dancing Detective" starring Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this evening. Quite entertaining. This is the third Hallmark movie they have made together and I have loved every one of them.
We got some rain, lightning and thunder this evening.
