I got up at 5:30, fed and watered the kitties, played on my phone a few minutes, did some journal prep, ate, and read from the Liahona.
I prayed, had my personal study and then read from the Book of Mormon and Come Follow Me with James. 

It snowed earlier this morning but nothing stayed on the ground. Still, we are grateful for the moisture. 

Tom came in at 5, he ate then went to sleep. He is still asleep and it's 2:36 in the afternoon. What a pet ... he sleeps all day and prowls all night.

James wrote a check to the U.S. treasury for our income taxes for $1,550.00 and then went to the post office to mail the check.

Stacy called this afternoon while she was delivering for Grub Hub. She said her car was making a terrible noise and she was afraid it was something serious. I said maybe her tires needed to be balanced. She took it home and had Paul look at it, praying that he would be able to fix whatever the problem was. When he said to her, "I'm not a mechanic, what makes you think I can fix this?" Stacy: "Heavenly Father told me you could." He was able to fix it although it took a couple of hours and she had to cancel her Amazon shift this afternoon. It was a tender mercy and I told Stacy to write it down.

James had a meeting tonight in Lakeside at the stake center. This is the quarterly Elders Quorum/ Relief Society training meeting. James drove with Chuck, Collin, and Stefani Hunsaker in the car. Chuck was a bit of a backseat driver although he sat in the front seat. Collin told the story of paying $400 for a dozen of Gracie Umphress's cinnamon rolls. I guess Sam Gordon paid $550 for the other dozen of cinnamon rolls Garcie made and someone else paid $550 for a Butterfinger cake Donna Beckham made. Janna Grombach was the auctioneer and she said they took in a little less than $7,000. Collin said he thought they took in $6,200 so who knows, it was still a lot of money. 

My left arm hurt so much this evening I quit blogging to lie down and listen to our book, "A Distant Thunder." 

When James got home he walked until almost 11:00 p.m. 

Quote & Verse of the Day
"Praying to Heavenly Father helped me know who He is and my relationship with Him - that I was His beloved spirit son."
                                                 - Takashi Wada
D&C 45:8
I came unto mine own, and mine own received me not; but unto as many as received me gave I power to do many miracles, and to become the sons of God; and even unto them that believed on my name gave I power to obtain eternal life.
