 My tender mercies for today were my blood pressure which was 120/79 and my blood sugar which was 101.

I got up around 4:15. Along with my prayers and scripture study I read from Emily's book, "Grace Where You Are." When I looked outside I was surprised to see a winter wonderland.

I love how the snow looks right after it falls, especially in the trees.

In a few days, when it starts to melt, we will have a muddy mess. That is the one thing I don't like about the snow, the mud afterwards.

James spent a good part of the day shoveling snow off the driveway and walkways.

Sheri had a procedure done today. She had a histroscopy and a DNC. Kim and Sheri both misunderstood her and thought she had the hysterectomy. The doctor thought he found something suspicious looking so he did a biopsy. Now there is a chance Sheri might have cancer. She said the report wouldn't be back for at least 10 days. 

We will be praying for her.

Tom was asleep on my lap with my electric blanket for a couple of hours today. I didn't have the heart to wake him up if I moved. 

I got a text from Jared Ammon today asking me if he and a couple of friends could come up and stay from February 25-27. I told him yes and then he asked if the Razr was working. Yes it is.

Stacy called and was a little stressed. Paul had his interview with the What Not company today and he didn't get the job. I guess he was over qualified. I'm not sure if that's why he didn't get the job or not but they are in a scary situation right now. They really need our prayers. 

James made potstickers for lunch and I made whole wheat pancakes for dinner for him. He has been asking for them. They are quite delicious! James did the dishes. 

We listened to Sister Lili Anderson on "Follow Him" today. She is pretty incredible.

Quote of the Day:

Our Church meetings are choice opportunities for us to testify of Christ and signal to God that we rejoice in taking His Son's name upon us.
