Both knees were hurting this morning but as the day progressed they got better. 

James worked at Hipps's today with Paul Peeler. Hopefully they will be done with this job by the end of the week. It was a warm day today, in the lower 80's. 

Today is Dawn's birthday. I'm not sure how old she is. I texted her and told her she was one of my very favorite people. She seemed grateful. I pray that they will be able to find out what is wrong with her.

I paid bills today, both Lambson Construction and personal. I am grateful we always have enough to pay our bills.

I sent Cayli a digital Amazon card for her bridal shower. Sheri said she says thank you very much!

Hurricane Helene hit harder than expected in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Many people in rural areas are without power and many roads have been washed out,  covered with water. Asheville, North Carolina was hit hard. The Biltmore estate where Hallmark's "A Biltmore Christmas" was filmed last year is closed because of flooding. Sometimes life changes so quickly it's hard to know how to handle it. We are praying that these people will get the help that they need. Cars are not able to get in many places but helicopters can.

I finished "Follow Him" with Brad Wilcox. I love him and I am grateful for his insight. Next I'm going to listen to Tyler & Taylor on Scripture Central.

I texted Autumn today about some ideas for Scarlett's birthday present. I'm going to send her something from Amazon.

Notes & Quotes

 "My dear brothers and sisters, here is my promise. Nothing will help you more to hold fast to the iron rod than worshipping in the temple as regularly as your circumstances permit. Nothing will protect you more as you encounter the world's mists of darkness. Nothing will bolster your testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Atonement or help you understand God's magnificent plan more. Nothing will soothe your spirit more during times of pain. Nothing will open the heavens more. Nothing!"

- President Russell M. Nelson
