For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

I got up this morning at 5:13 with James. After prayer and a kiss he left for the valley to help Armando on some re-do jobs at 51st Avenue. Or at least that's what I thought.

James took his Sunday clothes and his temple clothes with him. He had not decided for sure that he was going to stay the night but he said it was unwise for him to go down today, come back tonight, and then go down again tomorrow. I sadly agreed. I reminded him that Sheri and her family were staying at the timeshare tonight. He said that was fine, if he stayed he would sleep on the couch. I thought to myself that both couches were probably taken. 

I texted Sheri and told her the situation and she was very nice about it, reminding me that it was our timeshare.

Later James called me. He was at Peeler's in Globe. He had gone to get some materials he needed to put in the baseboard Owen asked him to do. He told me that he had decided to come home instead of going on to Phoenix. Armando convinced him that he didn't need to come, that they had everything under control. I was so happy and relieved. I immediately texted Sheri and told her that dad wouldn't be coming.

James worked at Peeler's for awhile and then came home. I was so happy that he made this decision. This afternoon I worked on my puzzle and walked, worked on my blog and watched a movie on my phone and of course worked on my lesson, "One in Christ."

I asked James if he would help me clean upstairs and he said he would. But instead of cleaning we walked and listened to our book, "Fleur de Lis". The book is quite distracting. I wanted to get to bed by 10 so I could get up early to read through my lesson several times.

I bet Trina and Addy did!
