And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?

T-Bo came over to work this morning. He only stayed a couple of hours because the log James was going to cut up for firewood turned out to be rotten.

It was a beautiful day to work outside. James stayed out and worked for 8 hours. Underneath his eye is red and swollen. He says he got a piece of metal in it but was able to get some of it out. He's not sure if there is anymore metal in there. He texted Jared and Jared called him in a prescription. Thank you Jared.

I was tired all day long. I started some rolls rising early this morning. They are for our ward's Night at Bethlehem Christmas party tonight.

Once they rose I baked them and they looked beautiful. I let them completely cool down and then broke them apart and prepared them for the Crane's to take to the party. They don't look as pretty once they are torn apart, but, they still taste good. The Relief Society president asked me if I could bring 2 dozen rolls so I couldn't even sample one roll! (I use Rhodes Texas-sized frozen rolls).

When I asked Kathy Crane to take my rolls she asked if I felt sick. I said, no, I am just tired and James has a red, swollen eye.

After the party when Kathy returned a container I had sent the rolls in, I asked her how the party was. She said it was really good.

I made ham sandwiches and baked potatoes for dinner. After dinner James and I walked while listening to our new book, "Skye Fall" and watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, "Sealed with a List", which we both liked.

I love this quote from the book I am reading, "Opening the Seven Seals" by Richard D. Draper:

..."their lives had been given in sacrifice because of their loyalty to God, ... not in dying for their faith, but in living for it." (p. 69)
