"There Can Be Nothing So Exquisite and Sweet as Was My Joy" by Elder Craig C. Christensen


Part of my gospel study today was listening to Jared Halverson on "Unshaken Saints," a podcast where he goes verse by verse through the scriptures in this week's "Come Follow Me" lesson. This week we are studying Romans 1-6. Here are a few notes that I took:
Over swing on the side of Grace. Are Jews better than others because they have the oracles of God? No! 
We are goners without the grace of God.
2 Nephi 10:24
Works - retrain our will - reconcile my will to God's will.

James left at 4:15 this morning. He has a concrete pour at the Casa Grande airport this morning. He left me in charge of the kitties. I went out to feed them and when I opened the door to come back in the house, Tom ran in. I was cool about it. I just let him do his exploring. He even went upstairs. I called James and told him and he was worried about him looking for a place to go to the bathroom. I told him I hoped he chose his office.

Soon Tom came back down. I was working on my puzzle and he began to rub up against my leg. When I started to pet him he laid down and rolled over for me to rub his stomach. That's his weakness and he was caught. I scratched his tummy and then picked him up. He is huge compared to Tabby and compared to what he was like when we first got him.  Outside you go big boy.

James called me when he arrived in Casa Grande. He had to tell me he missed hitting a Highway Patrol car by like one second. He said his tire monitor started beeping and what with all of the flat tires lately he began pulling off the road and just missed the patrolman whom he didn't see.  

The Highway Patrolman was pretty upset and scared and told James he could give him more than one ticket for the things he did wrong.  One thing he did was cross into the "suicide" zone when he left the highway. Once James apologized and explained what happened the officer just gave him a warning and told him to fix his tire monitoring system.

Jared Ammon called me today. He explained that he wanted to come back up to help Grampa but he needed to be back down in the valley before the 17th to help his roommate cleanup their apartment as their lease is up. He wanted to know if he could borrow a vehicle to come back down to the valley if he came up with grampa today. I told him he could use my car. He said he would pay for his gas and that he was very grateful.

I have a semi-annual car insurance payment due in March and September. In March the six month premium was $747.00. I just got a notice that it was due on September 8th and the premium is no $981.50. I have $753.00 saved. I told James and he is going to look in to getting new insurance. Just another example of how everything has gone sky high since Covid and just keeps going up.

It started raining around noon and rained pretty solid until 2. Afterwards it was heavenly, wonderful smells, cool breezes, and sixty degrees. 

James and Jared Ammon arrived around 3:30-4. They ate at Arby's in Show Low so I didn't have to fix dinner. While James was outside JA asked me when we were going to get another horse. I think he wants to ride but can't make Luna do anything. Speaking of Luna, Kathy Crane and her granddaughter Kacey and her son Zepp who is probably two, came over to see her the other day. She was in front and came over to the fence so they could pet her. When they started to leave she followed them along the fence. Yes, she does have some endearing qualities, but she is still a stinker.

James was in a good mood when he got home. He used my new portable charger. I told him I wish I would have held out for the Clutch charger because it's thinner and more magnetic. He said I could order one for my birthday and he would pay for it, so I did.
Of course he pays for everything since I don't work outside the home but when he says he will pay for it that means it won't come out of my budget.

Jared Ammon brought his guitar. I can hear him playing it downstairs.
