"Accessing God's Power through Covenants" by Elder Dale G. Renlund

James was up and ready to go to the valley for the concrete pour at Casa Grand airport by 4 a.m. I got up and had prayer with him before he left. I decided to stay up but needed something to sustain me so I could take my Tramadol. I ate some breakfast and then took the Tramadol. 

I read from my book, "Rescuing Wayward Children." I have read this book before but I keep coming back to it because it resonates with me. I read this on p. 11:

"We partner with God by means of our covenants, and He allows us to vitalize His plan of salvation for our wayward children by means of our personal sanctification. The highest level of sanctification comes through temple worship, and this is where we receive many of our answers. The more we learn about covenants, the priesthood, and the ordinances of that priesthood, the more His power is infused into our lives. Then the gospel becomes a tool rather than a culture. The power of the temple ordinances is greater than any of us understands. Eventually, such power will bring a wayward child home."

Some of the things I did today: Read from the Book of Mormon and the New Testament and worked on my blog. I swept and cleaned the wood floors in the family room and living room. I worked on my Snack Treats puzzle and did some laundry.

For lunch I had a grilled cheese sandwich on rye bread and some of the hamburger soup I made. I also did some walking.

James and Jared Ammon got home around 2:30. They brought home two burros for me, a green mixed burro and a green chili burro. I had the mixed burro.

This evening I made some dinner for the guys, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy and peas.

James got a ticket coming home near the Y. I felt bad for him but wasn't too surprised. He use to get them all of the time and it's been awhile. 

Jared Ammon went off on the Razr to look for elk. James sealed the log up by Darrel and Trina's room, the last place a swarm of bees was spotted. James and I walked and listened to "In Search of Heaven".

Aaron's birthday was on the 4th.

I was too lazy to go back.

Happy Birthday Aaron.
