"Follow Him"

Up at 4:13. The bishop yesterday laid forth for us a plan of action regarding Vernon Days and the "Hear Him" initiative. 

I listened to President Nelson's talk on confidence before the Lord and was touched by all that he said about charity and virtue, and preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. 

My left knee is starting to hurt. I put heat rub on it. I still have a lot of walking to do today. I am praying that Heavenly Father will carry me until I can get my should x-rays and begin my cortisone shot treatments.

I put two pork roasts on to cook before I realized that Stacy, Paul, and Joshua are not coming. Now James and I have a ton of roast pork to eat. I put about half in the freezer. I used Sheri's recipe where she puts them in a crockpot with some seasoning and then pours a 2 liter of Coke over them.

I finished the book, "Caught in the Middle" and started a new one called, "A Hopeful Proposal" by Samantha Hastings. 

James worked at Crane's this morning and Hipps' this afternoon and evening. I went to the post office this afternoon because James was too busy getting stuff together for Darryl Johnson's claim against our insurance. Here is what I had at the post office: two journals, a black pair of sandals, a puzzle, and my WaterFly cross body bag. 

My knee isn't bending but I still got my 12,000 steps. Tom slept all day in the house. He finally wanted out at 7:30 this evening. 

James is afraid it might rain so he is at Crane's picking up tools. 

Mailed Willis' card today. Peyton MacArthur had an All-Star game this evening so they didn't go to Boone's game. 

Here is the real Jared Ammon story: 

His girlfriend Elle was gone for a week. He started drinking and missed work so he got fired. Now he says he's going to lose his car. Stacy told him to call and see if he can get a payment deferred. I think he did. He sold his laptop to pay his car insurance. He still owes us $1,050, so we cannot loan him any money.

I am writing this on July 9th, the day after his birthday. Stacy says he is in a good place right now.

"The plan of salvation is a plan of happiness precisely because it is a 'plan of mercy."
