October General Conference
'In the Space of Not Many Years'
Elder David A. Bednar
"Therefore, if we are not faithful and obedient, we can transform the God-given blessing of prosperity into a prideful curse that diverts and distracts us from eternal truths and vital spiritual priorities. We always must be on guard against a pride-induced and exaggerated sense of self-importance, a misguided evaluation of our own self-sufficiency, and seeking self instead of serving others. As we pridefully focus upon ourselves, we also are afflicted with spiritual blindness and miss much, most, or perhaps all that is occurring within and around us. We cannot look to and focus upon Jesus Christ as the 'mark' if we only see ourselves."
Tom gets in my face while I am sleeping to let me know that he's hungry. At least he waits until after 4 am.
I am feeling better today and I am so grateful! James is better too.
I loved Elder Bednar's conference talk and I want to share some things from it with my three prospective missionaries.
James and I left for town late this morning with a few things in mind: Take $100 and break it up for money for the dump in case Chuck goes today. Sadly he went while we were gone so our plan didn't work.
We got my car washed, bought some groceries at Walmart, bought some things to repair the sprinklers at Home Depot, and got horse feed at Tractor Supply. We also bought some lunch/dinner at Panda. I got orange chicken with noodles and James got teriyaki chicken with noodles.
There was a big truck parked in the Tractor Supply parking lot with a long line of people beside it. They are having a meat sale. I saw it advertised on Facebook. You can get 20 ribeyes for $39.99. It sounds like a great deal, we just don't eat that much meat.
The temperatures are in the 40's today and it is windy, making it a quite cold. We still have no moisture. All of the stakes in this area are praying for moisture and attending the temple. We will also have a fast on February 2nd.
Went home and took a nap. Tom was happy to get his treats. I blogged January 2nd and 3rd. I watched a movie on my phone that I really liked on Prime Video, "Heart of the Country." James walked and listens to "So True a Love."
We had a car just like this one when we went
to Disneyland back in the 1950's.
