October General Conference

"Abide the Day in Christ" by Amy a. Wright

Up at 4 a.m. to plan, pray, and study.

This morning I also read from 1 Nephi 8:1-19 and looked at my Book of Mormon blog, trying to decide if I am going to continue it.

I also read from the Liahona and "Rescuing Wayward Children." The article in the Liahona was by President Eyring , "Our Light in the Wilderness." I also listened to Brother Halverson on "Unshaken Saints."

At 9:00 I left for town with James. It was his idea to go early because he needed something at Home Depot. 

The weather is clear, cold and gratefully, no wind.

James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Home Depot. 

We finish at the same time and I don't have to wait for him to pick me up. Next stop is Tractor Supply where James buys two bags of horse feed for Luna. I wan a Panda chicken teriyaki chow mien bowl. It's a little before 11 so we go back. I was surprised that James didn't get anything. He said that we had plenty of food at home and that he would eat there. 

My chicken is cold so I wait until I get home to eat so I can heat it up in the microwave. This bowl has around 800 calories so this is my big meal of the day. I will have veggies and a side for dinner.

I took a nap. Afterwards I went in to clean the kitchen counters, and floor and take down all of the kitchen Christmas decorations. While I worked I listened to Barbara Morgan Gardener and Elaine Dalton discuss two conference talks, Elder Koch's and Sister Runia's. I also continued to wash and dry and fold clothes.

As I was listening to my podcast James said: "Boy, I bet they make a lot of money." He thought he heard one of them say, "walk with us in Rome." I didn't hear it. I got upset by his comment and there was a little contention between us. I realized later that I was wrong and I apologized. I have a goal of no contention but I am weak. It's going to take some time.

Noodles and veggies for my dinner while James had a HLT, ham, lettuce and tomato sandwich. After doing the dishes and mopping the floor James and I walk and listen again to our less than stellar book, "Breaking the Rules." We were in bed by 9.

My friends Patsy and Janna. We are going 

to lunch on Thursday.
