"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 came in at 11:30 last night and left again at 4:30 this morning. I wonder where he goes.

I studied from the Book of Mormon for my Relief Society lesson, Alma 17-27, the conversion of the Lamanites. I wanted to get the back story fresh in my mind.

James left this morning to take supplies over to the Beach job and to pick up steel at White Mountain Steel. He said he so enjoyed being outside and working on a job. It was a nice day today, no wind, a great day for being outside. Also, Armando poured concrete for another little job at the Landings. 

When James got home this afternoon he took a nap with Tom. Here is a picture. I couldn't resist.

I love that James has his arm around Tom.

James went outside to work after his nap. When I got ready to make my trip to town I asked him if he wanted to go. He said he shouldn't because he had so much today, but he wanted to, and so he did. I was so happy!

We stopped and picked up a package and some other mail at the post office and then were on our way to Show Low. Our first stop was the UPS store where I returned the pillow cases I ordered and then cancelled. The package, with two pillow cases in it, cost me $14.95 to mail back to the company. If I hadn't opened it, it would not have cost anything. I actually thought it was one of my Amazon orders. I also mailed Sheri's birthday card.

James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to wash the car and pick up some saw blades at Harbor Freight. He picked up some hot and sour soup next door at the China Buffet and then headed to Circle K to wash the car. 

One of the reason I needed to go shopping was to get the ingredients for chicken noodle soup. My friend Janna Grombach has strep throat and since I'm her ministering sister I am taking her chicken noodle soup tomorrow. Kathy Crane is my partner and she is bringing dessert and some homemade rolls.

James loves fried chicken and I never make it so I suggested we stop at KFC on the way home. We got the deal of the day, 8 pieces of chicken with all of the sides for $20. 

Another reason I went shopping was to get treats for Tom. He was so happy to get his treat this evening. 

I just realized that not only are we going to the temple on Thursday but I have Bunco Thursday night. I got a bag of mini corndogs for my snack. 

Notes & Quotes

"For Heavenly Father's purposes to be accomplished, Christ's atoning power needs to be made available to God's children. The priesthood delivers these opportunities."
- Elder Dale G. Renlund

I love how James's arm is around Tom

He's looking at me and knows he's
in trouble.
