* Summary

Up at 6:00. I got some good sleep last night but my left knee hurts and it is very stiff so I can't bend it. I had a hard time walking so I asked James if he would bring the walker up from downstairs.  

I'm not sure why it's my left knee. It is usually my right knee that swells up. I had planned on going to the temple today and meeting Ruth Gale there. When I told her I couldn't go she had forgotten that we were going today. After this week the temple will be closed for two weeks for deep cleaning. 

My knee seems to be getting worse as the day goes on. I listened to "Grounded" with Barbara Morgan Gardner and Carol Lawrence-Costly who is a former member of the General Young Women's Board. They talked about blacks receiving the priesthood and what a wonderful day that was. I also listened to "Follow Him" and read from "Your Endowment" which is so good! 

This evening James and I watched another Hallmark Drama/Family movie. This one was called Hollis Woods about a young girl who is in foster care and finally finds a family that will love her. Sissy Spacek is in the movie. I forgot what a good actress she is.

Listened to "Dual Devotions" while James walked and I worked on my blog. 

I ordered Tom some toys today. He seems a little bored when he's in the house.

Some notes from "Your Endowment", p. 195:

The word sacrifice meant to make holy or sacred.

Obedience leads to sacrifice in the same way that faith leads to repentance.

A broken or willing heart, a contrite or changed spirit.

call this cake my favorite.
