Priesthood ordinances must be administered as the Lord commands.
October General Conference
'This Is My Gospel - This Is My Church'
Elder Dale G. Renlund
"The Church is simply ordinary people, disciples of Jesus Christ, gathered and organized into a divinely appointed structure that helps the Lord accomplish His purposes. The Church is the instrument through which we learn the central role of Jesus Christ in Heavenly Father's plan."
The vampires came for the last time this morning to draw the last blood from James. This one was very quick.
Scrambled eggs, which James says are dry and gross, a mini-hashbrown, Cheerios and soy milk for breakfast. James eats the Cheerios with a little milk. Julie ordered him some toast with butter & jam. She is the night nurse who gets off at 7 a.m. She also found a tray of food that had not been sent to a room for me. I had Honey Nut Cheerios and 1% milk for breakfast. Thank you Julie.
Sheri came after breakfast to get James's glasses. A lens keeps falling out. She said she would give it to the master fixer, Nancy. I am packed and ready to go home. We are just waiting for the doctor's release. Sheri helped me carry some of my stuff to the car. I am feeling light-headed and achy. Sheri said she would drive us home and I am very grateful.
Dr. Salibri came at 9:11. He is the internal medicine doctor on duty this morning. He came in and gave us some instructions and said we could go home when the paperwork was finished. I asked him when that would be, and he said in about an hour. As soon as he left I helped James get dressed and put his shoes on. We turned on a Hallmark movie to pass the time. It's an old one but one we both like, "Christmas Land."
I waited until the movie was over and then called the nurse and said we had waited over two hours and we were ready to leave. The nurse explained that the doctor had made the rounds to the 35 other patients on the floor and was now in a meeting. He had failed to fill out the paperwork and she was waiting for him to come back. He should be out of the meeting very soon. I decided we could wait a little longer. We had some lunch and waited around some more. At 1:00 it had been four hours. I wrote the doctor a note explaining to him that we had waited four hours and couldn't wait any longer. We have a four hour trip to get home and I needed to get started. I reminded him that he said the paperwork would be done in about an hour. I gave it to Morgan to give to him. She arranged a wheelchair for James while I went to get the car. No discharge instructions because we aren't being discharged. We left the hospital and drove to pick up Sheri.
We went the Globe way to avoid the construction on the rim near Heber. We ordered burros from Burger House and Sheri went in and paid for them. James ate part of his on the way home and said it was pretty hot. Sheri and I saved ours for later.
When we arrived home Kim and Brian were watching a movie and Tom was on Kim's lap. I went over to pet him but when he saw James he jumped down and followed him into the bedroom. He is definitely happy to see him. Later he came and sat on my lap.
Kim, Brian, Sheri and I watched a movie, "The Christmas Quest" starring Lacey Chabert and Kristoffer Polaha. I wasn't a big fan of the movie but it was nice to spend some time with my daughters and Brian. James popped in and out while he was walking.
After the movie we all said good night and went to bed. Brian, Kim, and Sheri are leaving around 6 in the morning for home.
