Thou knowest, O Lord, that they have been greatly oppressed and afflicted by wicked men; and our hearts flow out with sorrow because of their grievous burdens.
Another sleep deprived night makes for a groggy morning. During scripture study and Come Follow Me we watched the story of the conversion of the Bush family. It was really good. President Oaks has this to say about missionary work:
1. We can all pray for desire to help with missionary work.
2. Keep the commandments ourselves.
3. Pray for inspiration on what we can do personally. Pray with a commitment to do something.
Kim went outside to walk this morning and was greeted by a couple of horses in the driveway. They keep getting out at night. I said, "You guys aren't supposed to be here. Get back inside the fence." Luna looked at me and stomped her foot. She's a rebel.
James and I went to town around noon. We would have asked Kim and Brian to go with us but Kim was asleep on one of the recliners and Brian was working on his computer. I did ask Brian if we could get anything for them and he said coconut oil and bread. I can certainly do that.
James and I had lunch at LaCasita. We both tried something new. I had a green chili mixed chimichanga. It was good but I didn't need those extra calories, the guacamole, sour cream and fried tortilla. James got a green chili mixed burrito supreme. He said the sour cream was cold and on the burro and he didn't like that.
There were so many people in this tiny restaurant and some of them were so tall that their heads almost touched the ceiling. A large group with over 10 people came in just as we were leaving.
James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to look for something he needed, both at Home Depot and Lowe's.
One of the things on my list was a bag of kitty litter. Yikes! The cheapest one is $20. It's a good thing I don't have to buy this very often.
This afternoon James fixed the fence where the wires were sagging, which is where the horses are getting out. Brian was going to help him but he was waiting for James to call him out. James thought he told Brian to come out in 45 minutes. I guess it was okay because James was able to do it by himself.
Trump was having a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when someone attempted to shoot him. The bullet nicked his ear, but someone else died because of the shooting. The shooter was shot and killed also.
Kim is working on the puzzle Charlie sent me. Every once in awhile I got by and find a piece, but she and Stacy have done most of the work. Kim is like me, she works for awhile and then she walks for awhile. She said walking is the one thing that helped her keep her blood sugar down. She got around 13,000 steps today.
I got my 12,000 and listened to two conference talks that went with the Come Follow Me lesson and Elder Bowen's from the last conference. James walked and listened to "To Love the Brooding Baron." I told him that Daryl Johnson (Bama Barbershop) and his wife need the gospel. He agreed with me.
Notes & Quotes:
"Many today say that miracles no longer exist, that angels are fictional, and that the heavens are closed. I testify that miracles have not ceased, angels are among us, and the heavens are truly open."
