And if any people shall rise against this people, that thine anger be kindled against them;

I have a couple of Apollo stories this morning. Jared Ammon said the other day he was outside staining the stable and Apollo came up and wanted his attention. Jared was staining the wood on the stable and Apollo came up where he had just swiped the paintbrush and licked the wood. Another time James and Jared had left a pile of tools on the ground. Apollo came up and with his nose moved the tools all over the ground. He also dumped out two buckets of nails. Such a naughty boy.

My room is filled with stuff from my closet that I need to sort through. It's funny that I'm trying to sort through my clutter and I keep getting advertisement on social media about decluttering. 

I am determined to cook most of the food in the frig before we go to the resort on Sunday. Today I used an entire head of cabbage, a couple of onions and some celery, stewed tomatoes and a pound of hamburger to make cabbage soup. To me it was meh. It needed something more and I suggested the guys add some of the tomato juice that was in the frig but James said it was fine. There was two Snapware containers left over after they were finished eating. 

Kim and Brian arrived this evening. They always bring lots of stuff and it takes awhile to unload Big Bruce the Bronco. As Kim was putting perishables in the garage frig she came in and said, why are there 20 flies in the frig in the garage? Jared Ammon went to check it out. They came to the determination that a fly flew in and had babies.

Brian brought a box of donuts from his friend's donut shop called Sesame Donuts "made to make your day." I guess today is National Donut Day. He also brought a bag of donut holes. Kim brought each of us two apple cider, cream cheese donuts. They are delicious!

They like the tile downstairs and Brian likes the TV. 

James hurt his back today saw cutting at the Hipps's. He is pretty miserable. He says he needs a different kind of saw and will have to go rent one tomorrow. 

After work and before Kim and Brian arrived James took Jared Ammon to Harris cave. They actually went inside and walked about 50 feet before coming back. It's only about 3 1/2 foot high.

I texted Stacy this evening and asked if they would like to use the timeshare Thursday - Saturday night. It was a yes and she said Joshua and Paul were very excited. It's nice to do something that makes someone else so happy.

While walking by myself I listened to "Flat Deception" and while walking with James we listened to "A Proper Scandal." 

Listened to an Instagram Live today featuring and Q&A with Elder David A. Bednar about receiving revelation. It was sooo good.
