Introduction
October General Conference
'Seeking Answers to Spiritual Questions'
Sister Tracy Y. Browning
"God the Father and His Son's way of imparting Their wisdom to us prioritizes inviting the power of the Holy Ghost to be our personal teacher as we center Jesus Christ in our lives and in our faithful seeking for Their answers and Their meaning. They invite us to discover truth through devoted time spent studying holy scripture and to seek for latter-day revealed truth for our day and our time, imparted by modern-day prophets and apostles. They entreat us to spend regular, worshipful time in the house of the Lord and to take to our knees in prayer 'to access information from heaven.'"
Today was President Donald Trump's second inauguration day, the time as the 47th President of the United States of America.
Today was also the College Football Championship game, Notre Dame vs. Ohio State. Ohio State won 34-23.
Apollo was in the yard again this morning. James cannot figure out how he gets in. He left him in the yard to see if he would go out the way he came in, but he didn't. James is thinking about putting another wire on the top of the fence.
I was sick, very sick today with the stomach flu. I guess I got it from James. I stayed on the recliner most of the day and ate very little. James had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Ellsworth who did his hand surgery. The doctor gave him a cortisone shot for pain. I had asked James to bring me home some hot and sour soup, which he did. It usually helps when I am sick but today I just couldn't eat very much. Too miserable.
When James went past the Penrod's house in downtown Vernon he said it was all roped off and there were three black police cars/trucks there. Later we found out that Kim Penrod, Shanna's estranged husband visited her and shot himself in front of her, committing suicide. He had been living in Springerville with his daughter and Shanna had a restraining order against him. Shanna is an active member of our ward and a temple worker. This is so very sad for her and her family. Her son and his family, though not active, are members of our ward too.
I got a call from our grandson Michael today. He said a group wants to come up this weekend to help Grampa. He mentioned, Dallin, Sammi, Jared Ammon, and maybe Paul, and Joe, along with him, of course and Namira. I told him I was very sick today and maybe he should check back later in the week to see how I am doing before making any plans. He said that he was sorry I was sick, and he would check back.
