October General Conference
'Following Christ' President Dallin H. Oaks
"Following Christ is not a casual or occasional practice. It is a continuous commitment and way of life that should guide us at all times and in all places. His teachings and His example define the path for every disciple of Jesus Christ. And all are invited to this path, for He invites all to come unto Him, 'black and white, bond and free, male and female; ... and all are alike unto God.'"
Sammy stays on the deck just outside our bedroom door. When I let Tom out in the morning Sammy tries to rub noses with him. Tom doesn't want anything to do with him. I should call Sammy Chessie, because he reminds me of the Cheshire cat.
We are grateful that Trump won the election. Our faith in the American people is restored a bit. The Navajo Nation is asking for an extended period of time to count their votes. It makes Arizona look lazy because we are always the last one to give a full report of our votes.
I made breakfast bagels this morning. They really are delicious. We got a little more snow this morning but not enough to make any difference.
I had a lunch date with Pam Giles today at 11am at the Asian Bistro in Lakeside. I texted her and we decided because of the snow and the weather today that we would take a rain check. As much as I was looking forward to seeing Pam, I was relieved not to have to make the drive. Today is probably a sad day for Pam anyway. I am sure that she voted for Kamala Harris. I told Pam I was going to sit in front of the fire and read a book, but I never actually got a chance to do this.
James spent most of the morning waiting to hear that Daryl Johnson's dad was ready to transfer money into our business account. It never happened. Daryl lied again. I felt so bad for James. I wonder if Daryl's dad is tired of bailing him out. Armando thinks his dad gave him the money to pay us and that Daryl gambled it away. Daryl did show James a few weeks ago the balance in his bank account, which was over $25,000. Daryl owes us $20,000.
After prayer and scriptures this morning James did some paperwork, I think he is making final preparations to file a lien against Daryl Johnson. I worked on my computer until we left for town.
We wanted to pick up the Razr today but the trailer is parked up on the hill and because of the snow James wasn't sure he could get the trailer out without getting stuck. Two reasons for going to town; to pick up a prescription and to mail a check to the Registrar of Contractors. James sent a check to renew his license but he forgot to sign it. This check is to replace that one.
Before we got to the Y I asked James if he had the check ready to mail. He looked at me and said, yes, but I left it at home. We turned around and went back, James belittling himself for being so forgetful as we did. I tried to encourage him and said that things like this happen to everyone, He said yes, but not as many times as they do to me.
When we got to town we mailed the check at the Show Low post office. We stopped and checked on the Razr. The guy who has been working on it said it needed a new fuel pump, which he has ordered, and it should be here tomorrow and we can pick up the machine in the afternoon. The cost for the work done is $400. The cost will be worth it if the Razr is actually fixed.
At Circle K was got gas, a drink, and cleaned our windshield. Our car is dirty but our windshield is clean. At Walmart we picked up our prescription and I asked James to get us some toothpaste. He got two tubes of kids toothpaste. Oh well, it will work.
We saw Kathy Crane when we checked out. I told her about Sammy and she talked about her cats.
When we got home James went to work outside. He hates office work and loves to work outside. I work inside. I took all of the blankets I have bought and put them in my office on the bed.
Jared texted and said he got his birthday card. Someday I will get it there on time.
Started a new book, "The Gentleman's Confession."
Happy 18th Birthday Evan!
The many faces of Evan!
