God's blessings are greater than the treasures of the earth.
October General Conference
'Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion'

"Another example concerns our physical being. Paul reminds us that we are to glorify God in both body and spirit and that this body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, 'which ye have of God, and ye are not your own.' Thus, we have a legitimate interest in spending time caring for our bodies as best we can. Few of us will reach the peak of performance we have seen recently in the achievements of Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and some of us are experiencing the effects of age, or what President M. Russell Ballard called 'the rivets coming loose.'"
Snow on the ground this morning and it snowed most of the day, but it still looks like only around 2 inches.
We left for the temple a little after 8 this morning for the 9:30 session. This will be my 7th time this year and James's 6th.
There were 14 sisters and 8 brothers in our session. Before we left the temple we put several family names on the temple prayer roll. We did not stop to eat on the way home. We did stop at Chase Bank and cashed our $500 check to put in our cash closet.
It was snowing like crazy in Show Low. The closer to Vernon, the less snow. We stopped at the post office and picked up my ministering angels for my Relief Society handouts.
I got a call from Kathy Crane this afternoon. She would like me to help with a going away party for Owen Peeler. He is moving to Bugaloosa, Louisiana and getting married on April 12th. The going away party will be on March 30th from 4-7pm at the Crane's. Kathy wants to do the food, sliders and coleslaw. She also wants Dave Kostusiak to make beans because Owen loves his beans. She then wants to ask those coming to bring a pie because Owen loves pie.
She says because I am so "techie" she wants me to do the invitations. I told her I didn't have any experience doing computer generated documents but I would be in charge and get the help I needed. When I was off the phone I went on YouTube to look for instructions. It looks like there is plenty of information.
Instead of deconstructing the enchiritos, I fried them and they were yummy. Fried enchritios for dinner.
James and I watched the season final of "The Way Home." I'm more confused than ever. A couple of things I did understand: Susanna gave Lingemore to the Landry's. Alice pushed herself in the pond. Elliott is the lost baby. There will be a season 4 but we will have to wait until next January.
Tom is driving me nuts. In and out, in and out. He came in at bedtime but before James got in bed he meowed to go outside. He was out all night.
Notes & Quotes
"The importance of having a sense of the sacred is simply this: If one does not appreciate holy things he will lose them. Absent a feeling of reverence he will grow increasingly casual in attitude and lax in conduct. He will drift from the moorings that his covenants with God could provide. His feeling of accountability with God will diminish and then be forgotten. He will care only about his own comfort and satisfying his own appetites and desires. He will come to disengage himself from sacred things, even God."
