DAB: "With the Power of God in Great Glory" OGC 2021
October General Conference
'Seeking Answers to Spiritual Questions'
Sister Tracy Y. Browning
"One key principle taught throughout the Book of Mormon is when God's children choose to demonstrate obedience and keep their covenants, they receive continual spiritual guidance and direction. The Lord has told us that through our obedience and diligence, we may gain knowledge and intelligence. God's laws and commandments are not designed to be an obstacle in our life but a powerful gateway to personal revelation and spiritual education."
Happy 50th Birthday Sheri!
instead of a cake. Kim's are
the best, extra creamy!
I had a slow morning because of last night's interrupted sleep.
Tom 'kissed' me this morning. He put his face right on mine for just a quick second. Just before he's ready to get up he lays on my chest and I scratch behind his ears as he purrs like a locomotive. It's our 'special time.'
I started getting ready for the temple at 8:45 and we left at 9:30 for the Tignor's and then the temple.
The Tignor's lost one of their kittens. Now they only have Hope instead of Faith & Hope.
I was very tired during the session and had a difficult time staying awake. The Tignor's always participate in the prayer circle. James usually looks at me to see if I want to go up, but this time he didn't. I wondered if something was wrong.
After the session T-Bo wanted to go to Streets for lunch. James and I aren't crazy about it, but we didn't say anything. We went Dutch treat. Barbara got the Western burger, and T-Bo got the green chili cheeseburger. Neither of them ate their buns. James got fish and chips because I wanted 'just a few' fries. I ordered the crispy chicken salad with honey mustard dressing. My salad was okay and James's fish & chips were okay. It ended up costing us $39.68 with the tip. Prices are so high!
After we dropped the Tignor's off at home James reminded me that he doesn't really like "Streets." It's not my favorite either, but I reminded him that it was T-Bo's choice and next time we would get to choose which means Eva's, unless the Tignor's want to go to Grumpy Jake's in Lakeside. I know they love it because T-Bo mentioned it.
It was after 3 when I laid down for a nap. I got up at 4:30 to get ready for Bunco. I decided to give a 4-pk of green beans and a 30-pk box of hot chocolate for my 'years supply' gift. I warmed up my mini corndogs, grabbed the ketchup and mustard and was on my way. I did kiss James goodbye.
I met Stefani Hunsaker at the church. She was dropping off dinner for the elders. We transferred my stuff to her car and we were on our way with one more stop. Michelle Beckham, who just had knee surgery on Monday, is subbing for her mom who is in Snowflake babysitting for grandkids. I was surprised that Michelle felt up to coming. What a trouper.
We were the first ones to arrive at Cheryl Sedigs. Lots of comments on my rectangular crockpot. The mini corndogs were yummy. We had four subs tonight: Michelle for Donna, Heidi, Tina's daughter subbed for Becky. Maddie, Lynn Wallace's sister subbed for Janna, and Bertie subbed for Alicia who is in the valley babysitting. I really liked all of the subs. Enjoyed Oksana tonight who had on a pink top. Lynda Finnell teased her that she looked like a girlie girl. Oksana has been a prison guard for 26 years. She works at the prison in St. Johns right now.
I also enjoyed visiting with Amy Reynolds, one of my favorites, and Cheryl Sedig. I was telling them about James locking me out of the house one night and they told me a story about Rosie Lauritzen.
Not only did Rick lock her out of the house but he also locked the gate around their property. He had gone to bed and was not answering the phone. Rosie didn't have her phone but Cheryl kept calling on hers. Finally Rosie climbed the fence and knocked on the window to wake Rick up. The great thing about this story is, according to Cheryl, that Rosie remained calm and never got upset. Rosie is a saint!
I came home with matches and lighters in a plastic container for my years supply gift. We only played two rounds of Bunco instead of three because Michelle's knee was really bothering her.
I know I said I would post a Milky Ranch story every Thursday, but things have changed. Not sure when the next one will come, but it will be soon.
