Phrase: "The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that 'a man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.'"

Affirmation: "I am important to Him. I know where my home is, and I know that my Savior Jesus Christ wants to help me return home. I resist the hooks of mortality and remember my divine heritage."

I was up at 3 this morning. My upper arms hurt, especially my right. Rowan texted at 2:30 a.m. and I just couldn't go back to sleep after reading his scripture answer. 

I did my morning routine and for lunch I made Brian's Breakfast Casserole. This was my first time roasting poblano peppers and they turned out great. I wish Walmart had green chilies so I could roast them. It took me over two hours to make the breakfast casserole. James better like it!

Stacy and I talked about our business today. She wants me to watch a video regarding Google Ads. 

I finished my book, "Royal Intrigue" and started another Traci Abramson book, "Drop Zone." 

James took the new generator on the job today. It ran an air gun, a table saw and a skill saw with no noise! The two hip roof they are building on the Crane's pump house is very difficult and complicated to construct. James has watched two YouTube videos and they say things like, 'you are going to waste a lot of lumber and make a lot of mistakes.' Not very encouraging. I think Jeff Crane is going to be surprised how much this little pump house is going to cost. 

It is 5:30 pm. I have 8, 417 steps and my feet are killing me. I watched a Hallmark movie while blogging: "Unwrapping Christmas: Mia's Prince." I also made care baskets for Cress Miller and Pam Giles. 

So much fun to make!

I planted two more vinca plants and watered all of my new plants.

It is so beautiful in the evenings, I love being outside. 

No one answered the scripture question today except me.

We must remember to pray for rain.

"Each of us can transform our discipleship into a higher pattern of spirituality by making ... reverence a sacred part of our spiritual character."

Elder Ulisses Soares, AGC 2025

D&C 76:10

For by my Spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will - yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man.

The pump house

James says it looks like a guard station.
