D&C 109:72
Remember all thy church, O Lord, with all their families, and all their immediate connections, with all their sick and afflicted ones, with all the poor and meek of the earth; that the kingdom, which thou hast set up without hands, may become a great mountain and fill the whole earth.
Up at 6:00. I slept in my bed all night. I feel so much better, except for my upper right arm.
It was an overcast, rainy morning. Tom kept going in and out. He wants to be outside be he hates getting his feet wet. The last time he came in his back was wet too.
I finally came up with a handout for my lesson and began working on them, as well as working on my lesson outline.
James woke up miserable this morning. He seems to have a pinched nerve in his neck. I feel a little better. My knees don't hurt like they did but my right upper arm is hurting. I still have pain in my right elbow and my left hand.
At 4:00 this afternoon I asked James if he wanted to go in to town with me to get some food at Panda. At first he said no, he hurt too much. As I was leaving around 4:40 he said he was going with me because he didn't want to be left alone the way he was feeling. On the way he asked me to drop him off at the hospital ER, which I did. He went in and I went across the street and got in the drive-thru line at Panda. It was quite a long line so it took awhile. James ask me: "Don't leave until they check me in and I find out if they will give me a shot." I replied, "Ok."
When I got my food I went over to the hospital parking lot and parked and ate, leaving most of it for tomorrow. I texted James: "I'm leaving, is that okay?" When I didn't hear back, I left.
I was just going around the Hunsaker curb when James called. He said they gave him two shots and are making him stay to see if he has a reaction. I guess he had texted me earlier and ask me to wait 30 minutes but I didn't see it. He ask me if I could be there in 30 minutes. I told him I was going to go home, I was almost there, and then I would come back. I guess I should of waited. Oh well, two round trips to Show Low Walmart is only 120 miles. It was raining at home.
The two shots they gave James were a muscle relaxer and a anti-inflammatory, non-steroidal. James was hungry. I am glad I got him some dinner. Most of the time he doesn't order anything when we go to Panda.
I gave James a haircut this evening and worked on my lesson until midnight. I finally went to sleep around 1:30.
Notes & Quotes
"To avoid the darkness of discontent and instead find greater peace, hope, and even joy during life's difficult challenges, I share three divine principles as invitations.
One - stronger faith comes by putting Jesus Christ first.
Two - brighter hope comes by envisioning our eternal destiny.
Three - greater power comes by focusing on joy. 'For the joy that was set before him (Christ) endured the cross,' His will 'being swallowed up in the will of the Father.'"
- Brian K. Taylor
'Swallowed Up In The Joy Of Christ'
