And until this be accomplished, let not thy judgments fall upon that city.
I got up at 5 and let Tom in. James had let him out at 4.
James is working today at the Hipps's. He is getting ready to pour concrete on Monday.
Stacy called me today to let me know she is speaking in sacrament meeting tomorrow on the topic of "A change of heart." She said that she realizes she needs to have a change of heart. That when she is out making food deliveries she gets so angry at other drivers. She said she realizes she needs to change this. I told her about an article I read on the Church News app about Steven Shumway, our former stake president who is now an Area Authority Seventy.
Elder Shumway told a story of when he was on his mission in Pennsylvania in the mushroom capital of the world. He was teaching in Spanish and having very little, or no success. He had just stepped in a large puddle of water and in his discouraged state decided in his mind that he wasn't doing any good here and that he should go home. I quote from the article:
"Then this life-changing question came into his mind: 'What price would you pay to know Me?' Elder Shumway had never considered this question. He stopped and quietly whispered, "I will pay whatever price You require of me to know You." Elder Shumway described this as a spiritually pivotal experience in his life." (He had a mighty change of heart).
Elder Shumway goes on to say:
"Often, we cannot see the reasons why God asks us to do certain things. They may seem absurd to us. But we know that when we do what the Lord asks with a willing and obedient heart, we come to know the Savior and become more like Him. Ultimately that is why we were all sent to earth - to become like Christ."
I watched an episode of Hailey Dean while working on my blog today. I also listened to "The Best of Friends" while walking.
We have a charge on our Freedom Visa card that we aren't sure what it is. It's for $51.99. I sent an email to the company and hopefully will hear back from them soon.
James invited me to go to town with him this evening to get gas in his truck. He said he would buy me some dinner so of course I went.
I got my Burrito Supreme at Taco Bell. I am in a rut right now and this is what I am choosing to eat when we get fast food.
When we got home we finished walking and then watched an episode of Hailey Dean, "A Marriage for Murder."
because I love it so much!
