James and I both wake up in the mornings, most anyway, feeling miserable. We feed the animals, I do the cats, he does the horses, have some breakfast, have family prayer, read from the Book of Mormon and do "Come Follow Me", and then we take naps. Let me back up a little bit ... I get up at 5. I take my thyroid pill then take my blood pressure and then take my blood pressure pill, Losartan. I also take two Memoforce pills for my memory. I study a few lines from "The Living Christ", look up one of my favorite Book of Mormon scriptures then say my prayers and listen for answers to my concerns.
Today I finished Rowan's missionary letter which I will also send to Joshua and Evan. I then read from The Easter Connection, Forgiving What You Can't Forget, Heart of the Matter, this month's Liahona, and worked on my Atonement paper which I am studying from "True to the Faith." I also worked on "Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion" my RS lesson, and read D&C 9. Somewhere in there I had some breakfast.
I am so tired when I am finished with family prayer & scriptures that I take a nap. James took a short one but he had to get up and get ready for his CT Scan appointment at the Show Low hospital. He left around 11:45. He took Trina's birthday card and mailed it.
After his scan James went to Culver's and got a fish sandwich. He had some cash from our trip to the valley on Wednesday. Also, Chuck took our trash to the dump and he may have given some cash to him too. I wasn't aware of this cash stash.
When he gets home we both take naps again. He gets up and goes outside to work. I do some sweeping and vacuuming on the stairs, in the hall and entry and then the living and family room. I go back in the bedroom to do some work on my blog. I'm taking a rest on the recliner when I hear Chuck talking in the other room. I was going to go in and start dinner but I'm going to wait until Chuck is gone. He stays for over 30 minutes.
He's telling James about a problem in the ward. On January 26th 8 or 9 of the guys from Waypoint Addiction Center came to our ward. One of the sisters in our ward is upset about them coming and their appearance saying it's going to affect the youth. She says as long as they come, she is not coming to church. What makes this difficult is that her husband is the ward mission leader and he is in charge of making arrangements for transportation when they want to attend.
This brother is very distraught and feels like he needs to be released as the ward mission leader. The bishop and stake president are aware of the situation and they have agreed that if this sister continues to act in this manner, she won't be able to go to the temple.
Both the brother and sister in this situation are friends of ours and we are praying that she will be able to have a change of heart. (James does not want me to mention any names).
I got up and made the new Rotel enchilada recipe that Lois gave me. She and Dawn like this recipe better than her old enchilada recipe. James and I liked it, but we still like the old recipe better.
My leg was hurting so James said he would do the dishes and clean the kitchen. Thanks Honey!
