Mosiah 3:19

For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.

I got up at 5:30 this morning. There was a dusting of snow on the trees this morning. It is officially cold!

James is trying to work things out with the state of Arizona regarding state sales taxes. They say he owes $5,700 and he says he already paid the taxes at point of purchase. He has tried to call but only gets automated messages and when he goes online they don't accept his deduction codes and they keep saying  he still owes the above sum.

The online site locked him out so he wrote them a letter and we sent it off when we went to town. We also mailed some bills that I paid.

When we stopped to get the mail I received the 2024 planner I ordered and the cute cardboard treat carrier gingerbread houses I ordered. The houses are so cute, all 20 of them. 

When we got to town our first stop was at J.C. Penney's where I bought two more blankets. While shopping at Walmart I picked up two little Christmas blankets for Charlie and Scarlett. They will get two blankets. While I was shopping James went over to Home Depot to pick up something. He also picked up a Firehouse sub for us to share. I reminded him that I had pork chops in the crockpot at home. I guess we will have them for tomorrow. 

On the way home we stopped at John and Sandra Wilhelm's to pick up pies I ordered from her. There is a key lime one and a banana cream.  When we got home I had a piece of banana cream and James had some key lime although he said it wasn't nearly as good as the lime pie that I make.

We walked and then watched "A Paris Christmas Waltz."

Oh I forgot. We bought a new comforter for our bed at Penney's today. James doesn't like the new one I bought because it has too much white on it. The white on his side is more of a tan now.

Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf starred in "A Merry Scottish Christmas." Will Kemp had a cameo and asked Lacey to do a Scottish dance with him. She said: "Oh no, I can only do the waltz and the tango. (They made "A Christmas Waltz" together and "The Dancing Detective." In one movie they did the waltz and the other they did the tango.)
