Up at 4:54.
James burned out his drill on the job today. Which means he will probably have to buy a new one. Chuck is helping him while Jeff is gone. Paul Peeler couldn't be here today.
Tom napped with me this morning. He actually stayed in the chair after I got up, which he very rarely does.
Kim and Brian left for home around 8:00 this morning. I have enjoyed having them here and will miss them.
This morning I did some planting, and walked, and now I'm blogging Sunday, June 28th. A little after one I got ready to go to the temple. I am meeting my friend Ruth Gale for the 3:30 session.
Lockers 7 & 8 were occupied so I had to take locker #4. My family name is: Sarah C. Prather.
When I arrived in the ordinance room Ruth was in the second row saving me the aisle seat. My favorite seat is the second row next to the wall, but it was occupied.
The session went well. As we were walking down the hallway back to the locker room I said to Ruth: "I don't want to eat a big meal."
She responded: "Neither do I." Me: "Let's think about where we want to go while we are getting dressed."
We asked a sister if McDonald's had salads and she said yes, she was sure they did. She was wrong, there were no salads at McDonald's. I know they use to have them, but not any more. I guess they were too healthy for their clientele.
Ruth and I ended up at Arby's. I got a cheeseburger and ate everything except the bun and Ruth got an Arby's roast beef and did the same thing.
We had a nice visit. Ruth was the barrier of some sad news, Brad Pico, who is married to Christy Kempton, passed away. Brad was the principal at a school in Alpine. He was in his office with the door locked, which was finally open and they found him, dead. He died of a heart attack. He was 63 years old. He and Christy had six children and 14 grandchildren. So sad for his family. He was a good guy.
Ruth and I said our goodbye's. We will schedule next month's temple trip after Ruth goes home and checks her schedule. She teaches piano usually on Tuesday afternoons.
On my drive home I noticed my oil was at 4%. When I got home I made an appointment for tomorrow to get the oil changed at Walmart after my eye doctor appointment.
When I returned home I walked, fed James, answered R.E.J., blogged, and did my journal prep for tomorrow.
These are the names I put on the temple prayer roll:
Ian, Sheri, Alex, Max, and Evan Trezise. Stacy, Adam, Jared Ammon and Joshua Gonzales, Jared, Darrel, Trina, Addy, and Rowan Lambson. Later I added: James, Kacey Lambson, Paul Gonzales, Kim & Brian Horak, Autumn Child, and Ben & Cayli Trezise.
I showered before going to bed.
"Because of who Christ is and what He has done, we worship Him, we revere Him; we give glory to Him, and we follow Him'

D&C 76:5
For thus saith the Lord: I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto them who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

*The Resurrection, which is a pillar of our faith
*Forgiveness of our sins
*The worth of souls is great in the sight of God (D&C 18:10)
*For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him might be saved. (John 3:16)
*He taught the plan of salvation
*As we follow Him, He will light our path
*He knows how to succor us
*He knows our temptations and offers strength to bear them
*He created the Heaven and the earth
*He atoned for our sins
*We can repent, keep the commandments &
our covenants and live with Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ
*He suffered for all to strengthen all
*Love was the motivation
